Lunatic Rave Not Loading Songs Correctly

Melchinoir · 12-20-2006, 07:24 PM

I have both Lunatic Rave and Be-Pachi. I normally use LR, but on some songs, it won't load the song right. Like, for example, on LR, when I try to play Drivin' on any difficulty, it will load up the interface, but then it won't load the song or the notes and the stage will just end after like 3 seconds. I tested the song on Be-Pachi, and it works just fine.

At first, I was thinking that maybe it had something to do with LR not liking .bme files and only loading .bms, but when I checked, some of the songs that worked for me were .bme so I guess that kind of rules that idea out.

I have no idea what could be wrong, anybody have any ideas?

You do know about the black-listing of official songs in Lunatic Rave, yes?

If not, the program author took the drastic step of preventing such songs from even being playable on Lunatic Rave (some songs might slip through the check however). It's either an internet database or a secret portion of the program itself.

Although I think the latest version of LR does allow play of official songs, but mutes the volume during play.

So.... yeah. It's done to protect him from cease-and-desist orders (maybe), but honestly I think he's just being paranoid (after all, SSR MAX author was C&D'ed because he tried to sell copies of his sim, using a 9th style skin + official BMS on CD-ROM)

[edit]
The Lunatic Rave black-list is a little too harsh, and sometimes thinks an original (not from IIDX) BMS is an official BMS.

Yes, I know about the blacklisting.

I don't think this is the blacklisting though. In the first version of LR, if it detected any official songs it would crash the program I believe. This obviously isn't the case with me since I'm using it. But then again, i have the newest version.

As for the muting of volume, that's not happening to me either. The songs that LR does load work fine, sound, keynotes, everything. The songs that don't work, don't work at all. It won't load the keynotes or anything, it just exists back to the music select screen after about 3 or 4 seconds.

Also, out of the 30 or so official sim files, only about 4 or 5 of them don't work, all the other ones work. So....I don't think this is the blacklist. However, it could still be the blacklist and I might have just been one lucky ass mofo who picked like 25 songs that slipped past the blacklist. Kinda unlikely though, but its possible.

I wish I could help, but LR refuses to load *at all* for me... so I just went back to bemaniadx (where after 6 tries I passed Injection of Love L7)

... and if that's really the case, I won't be going back.
