Author Topic: Ok, Is there anyway to make MP3s loop in FF7Music? (Read 7698 times)

ajrock2000 · « **on:** 2005-09-24 02:20:41 »

I've done my share of searching on this forum to see if anyone had a solution, and apparently no one does. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to the MP3 file or whatever to make it repeat in game. I know FF7Music loop option doesn't work for mp3s, but I wanna know if there is ANY other solution! I dont care how much work it takes. Thanks!!

Get an MP3 editor. Copy and apste an MP3 into itself like 10 times, making a super long, looping mp3. Save.

That's about it =/

Indeed Steele, I made the Highwind music at least 30min.

I still have to work on the other mp3's, but I've made around 10% of them double or triple there original lengths.

Wouldn't be too terribly hard to do though... just copy the whole wavelength, and paste it at the very end or beginning, but, you already know that... lol..

Yup. I already have done this.

I was just seeing if anyone was harboring a secret or something.

Speaking of which, my PSF's in-game only go on for a certain amount of time. Can they loop, or are they in the same boat as MP3's?

ajrock2000 · « **Reply #6 on:** 2005-09-24 18:24:55 »

As far as I know PSFs do loop, its just MP3s that don't.

Well, that's odd. After a while the music in FF7 (using FF7Music) fades out and stops after a while. How do I fix this?

ajrock2000 · « **Reply #8 on:** 2005-09-25 03:29:48 »

is the loop option checked in FF7Music?

Tain · « **Reply #9 on:** 2005-09-25 03:44:45 »

Yep.

I also checked the Loop option in Highly Experimental, too. It's pretty much fixed, although sometimes music plays even when it's not supposed to.

Do you have the correct input plugin? You need in_mp3.dll to be able to load MP3s in FF7Music. The output plugin out_wave.dll is fine for output.

Is your path in your profile pointing to where the MP3 files are?

The name of the mp3 must match exactly to the replacement music file name in FF7Music.

hmm i dont have an in_mp3.dll, i only have the DLL's that came with the download from the useful links thread. any idea where i would get hold of that? (googling as i write this, so the answer may come up there.)

That version is very, very outdated. Grab it from Ficedula's homepage:
http://ficedula.cjb.net/

Look for FF7Music and do everything with that one. Also, name it "Ficedula", not "FICEDULA" or "ficedula".

ajrock2000 · « **Reply #14 on:** 2005-09-26 23:15:39 »

Just do a google for MP3 Input Plugin. You should get Nullsofts in_mp3.dll, and you should be good to go.
