Gramophone issues

[frau kaleun]

Oh hey I think I just realized what the problem is.

Before this patrol started, my LI failed to return from leave and I had to enlist a replacement.

Obviously the dirty schweinhund went through my record collection and stole the ones he liked, and most likely scratched up some of the others in the process.



I am so going to call Judge Judy on his @$$.

Try the ogg.vorbis tracks on their own.

Do not enable via JSGME but simply place each track into the gramaphone folder.

If that doesn't work you have a conflicting file from a mod which is very unusual because sound files are usually okay.

If all else fails I am quite happy to create a soundpack to replace your gramaphone folder.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I am definitely going to try just having one file in there at a time and see if I still have problems, or if there is one or more specific file(s) that cause them. I may even put the original file back in there that came with the vanilla install and see if that by itself will play okay.

In order to create a custom soundpack that I wanted to enable via JSGME, would it just be a matter of duplicating the necessary file structure [MOD NAME]/data/Sounds/Gramophone (or whatever) and putting the tracks in the last folder, and then put the whole thing in the MODS folder, and then have JSGME enable it like any other mod?

Yes

But TBH I prefer to slip the tracks in separately from within the original storage folder.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I have them in a folder for that purpose where the filenames are the titles, so I know what I have, but when I want them in the Gram folder I'll rename them as whatever track# comes next and copy them over.

I started doing that because when I had to reinstall everything, I forgot about backing up all the neat files I'd added to Gram and had to go find them again and reconvert a bunch of stuff I had elsewhere on my HD.

Rgr that

But I am truly at a loss why you are experiencing problems because literally hundreds have downloaded my gramaphone tunes and I am yet to hear of any individuals experiencing any difficulty.

Oh, I'm not assuming it's any file from your packs, I really don't know what it is. Only a few of the 20 tracks in the folder right now came from Subsim downloads, some I converted from mp3s I already had, and there may be an odd file that I picked up already in ogg format from some other source. Some of the ones that are getting skipped over are my own files, some aren't. I don't even know which track it's freezing on since it's not playing them in the designated order and freezes before I can tell which one it's trying to play when it crashes. Could be one particular file or several - I'll just have to see what happens when the game only has one file to choose from.
