Idea about Main menu with music.

[Takeru]

Well I was thinking if it were possible to add music support to Final Fantasy VII Main Menu like in Final Fantasy X (or later) Main menus

U know, the

menu with MP3 background music.

Then we will have to destroy ff7.exe to find out how (*has a hammer on his hand*)

Maybe this could be possible with ff7music??(just a guess)

[Touph Guy]

If FF7music reads triggers in the .lgp files to know what songs to play, perhaps a similar trigger could be injected into the menu script?

yeah, that may be a posibility.

maybe if we add a new mid file into the lgp and inject it on the menu script, then FF7MUSIC should recognize it and start playing the song (just a guess).

it might be easier to associate it with Aali's driver. Since the driver externally calls for textures, whenever it calls for buster_00.png it could also signal an MP3 to begin playing. I have no idea how this could be implemented, but it seems to be much easier than mucking around with the EXE or FF7music.

But still to do that it needs the .tex file in the lgp so...

We would need another mid file in lgp and create the external reference to the mp3, but the thing it's that there's no association with the Main Menu in FF7 like it is with the .tex files, so that would make a problem on it.

[pyrozen]

no, what im saying is have the buster_00.png call ALSO begin playing an MP3. There is no reason you would have to add anything to the LGP.

Aali driver--->buster_00.tex---->Aali calls buster_00.png----->also calls another program to play MP3

i dont see any reason one texture could not be used to call 2 separate things at the same time. Once the texture disappears then the music ceases to play(which would kinda suck because it would make the load menu silent)

[Takeru]

Oh well if someone knows where ff7 starts calling the mids (not the lgp). I would give it a try to see what I can do.

So you mean we can have textures folder and mp3 folder that comes with Aali's driver?? The files inside could be named start_00.mp3?? That would be awesome if it was possible.
