When I examine the Game.GetMusicPosition() and no music is playing, I see "0", Ok. When I start music, the Game.GetMusicPosition() starts with "2999" (3 seconds) immediately. Why?

When I play a song with length 15000 one time, then Game.GetMusicPosition() returns:

2999......5000.....15000....0......2999

how often do you call the get music position?

[Lebostein]

every time in my game_loop.script...

[metamorphium]

can you post a relevant script part?

There are imprecisions in GetMusicPosition(), up to the size of the sound buffer. This is a known issue...

Also in SetMusicPosition()?

No, SetMusicPosition() works ok.

[Lebostein]

It don't work ...

add this code to your game.script (for example in the wme demo game, line 136):

Code: [Select]

  else if(Keyboard.KeyCode == VK_F9)
  {
var MusicPos1;
var MusicPos2;
MusicPos1 = Game.GetMusicPosition();
Game.PlayMusic("sounds\Strand_1.ogg", true);
Game.SetMusicPosition(MusicPos1); // ---- Here I set the position to MusicPos1
MusicPos2 = Game.GetMusicPosition(); // ---- After this I get the current position to MusicPos2
actor.Talk(ToString(MusicPos1) + " <> " + ToString(MusicPos2)); // ---- MusicPos1 and MusicPos2 should be the same
  }
If you press F9, then the music jumps 2999 ms forward...why? It should be the same position before and after.



Here is a small music file for testing: http://www.lebostein.de/temp/Strand_1.ogg
This file was created by the ogg-export of Cubase SE 3... I hope the file is not corrupt... but the same problem I have with a generated wav-file.

I need this for an imuse system. At the moment it's impossible to jump between different music files with the same lenght...

SetMusicPosition does work properly, GetMusicPosition doesn't.

SetMusicPosition does work properly, GetMusicPosition doesn't.

Sorry I have read over your last post ("There are imprecisions in GetMusicPosition(), up to the size of the sound buffer. This is a known issue...")

OK, I understand... at the moment the GetMusicPosition() function is useless...
But, how can I handle this imprecisions? Can I set or get the size of the music buffer?

you can always store the lookup values in an array.
