Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

in DOS
So what's the preferred workflow, as the libadplug is now installed into system library dir, and I want to develop that, using stock adplay-unix to test? Compile and reinstall libadplug into system dirs again and again? Ha, I am the wrong person to ask. It is a bit of a hassle, but you don't have …

Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

in DOS
Can you give some pointers how to compile adplug and adplay-unix under linux? The last time I tried even compiling adplug, I ran into Autoconf issues. $ autoreconf --install configure.ac:8: warning: macro 'AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library Solving this would motivate me more to contribute, my …

Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

I attatched the Winamp plugin built from latest source / herad-dev branch. ;) Thanks, but I'm not on windows so I don't think that'll work :(. I've been using adplay-unix with SDL to try out the plugins (and to play VGM). I really should look for a front-end for that. I have worked a bit more on my …

This helps indeed, I just translated the code into C and whoosh... It works pretty good! No more dissonant notes! :D The commit: https://github.com/adplug/adplug/commit/284aff4a6be591f8d694cfeab876082ba62c8756 However this introduced some regressions (tested with Winamp plugin via Nuked OPL3): …

In case anyone is interested, here's my (so far) annotated disassembly of the Dune (CD version) driver. Some notable differences from MegaRace: - global volume handling - aftertouch/channel pressure events - root note offset (like SynaMax describes on the wiki)

Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

in DOS
Hi binarymaster, Thanks for all your help and all work on the AdPlug plugin! Indeed, there are some dissonant notes in short periods. The same bug I have in my AdPlug replaying code, but those notes sound incorrect all the time in "Burokrat", this can be due to improper implementation of pitch bends …

Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

in DOS
So essentially you have rewritten the playing routine and made it output VGM files? Yes, with the help of SynaMax's amazing research. I wrote a set of tools that apply multiple transformation passes (song, track pre-parsing and generating of events including which 'tick' they were fired on) to get …

Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

I've attached the VGM output of the conversion of all SDB files I have. Most of them sound spot on(?) and I thought I was pretty much done, but then when listening closely to the KGB files I noticed that there's still something off in "Gorbi" (the "V" in Gorbachev), and somewhere near the 30 second …

Re: Dune "HERAD" Ad Lib Music Hacking

in DOS
Yes, thanks to you all for all your hard work. I have become very interested in this project, and am working on an Herad SDB -> VGM converter. I've disassembled all of the drivers (dune/kgb/megarace) and have the bend code working in my (almost perfect?) converter. Here's how the pitch bending part …
