Be-Pachi Music!! My continued attempt at a BMS Player / BM simulator - Page 13

UV, it keeps looking better and better! Just tried the new one and the progress looks great.

Thank you

Good to see you on the boards again too!

And semi-update so far... DirectShow components are installed properly (I hope), so MPG/AVI support in the future is now a definite, in what upcoming version it will appear in just depends on ease of implementation.

On a down side, updates to the old BMDX theme will more than likely never happen.

My original plan was to use a certain something as a base for graphics (PrintScreen or something else), but my computer isn't compatible with that thing.

Also, I really don't want to go back to the inferior old theme (so many other sims have a much better arcade look), so I'll continue working on original themes.

I actually liked that old theme, mainly because the other simulators (especially SSRMAX, and also occassionally BemaniaDX) crashed.

As for other features, I'm looking forward to high score support, and possibly video support. If you could show the grade/DJ Level and total score (other than just "Stage Failed!" or "Stage Cleared!) on the results screen after playing a song, that would be cool, too!

Thanks for a great simulator, and I hope to see some (or all) of these features come!

Thanks

Actually I hope to implement all of those features you mentioned above.

I'll just need some time to figure out the best way to add the things in before releasing the new features.

And I'll give the old themes another chance then

Bad News: No downloabable update this month.

Good News: Progress is being made, and unless something bad happens, BG Movie support will be added into the next version. I'm finally figuring out how DirectShow works.

I'll probably use the #VIDEOFILE and #VIDEODELAY commands used by BMDX (Or was that SSR MAX?)

DirectShow seems to auto-handle a movie's frames per second, so #VIDEOFPS probably might not be needed (although I'll add it in eventually for a manual over-ride option).

Little by little, getting things done

Aw cruds - this is semi-old now. Right? Oh well.

I'm having a problem with this. I downloaded Happy Angel from IIDX12th on some site, and BPM can't find it. It's in

C:\BPM\Be-Pachi Music Complete v0.0422a\Songs\Various\HAPPY☆ANGEL

and the default song folder to search in is

.\Songs\

and also the song is in BME format if it matters. Anyone know why this could happen?

Not old at all

Is "Automatic Cache Update on Start-Up" option checked? (on "System" menu)

If not, try selecting the "Update Cache Now" option just below it. That will scan the Songs folder for any files, adding any it finds to the cache, and being visible in the song select list.

Also, does the .BME song contain keysounds, or is it non-keysounded (mp3 only)?

Warpticon · 01-29-2007, 12:23 AM

Love the sim, but what is it going to take to get BPM on the select screen? I haven't seen anybody suggest this here or the other forum, and I've always been puzzled by that.

It's keysounded. I don't know if that option's on, I'll go check.

Edit: Yeah, it's on. Anyway, I downloaded another BMS file: Jupiter, and that one works. I'd still like to know what happened with Happy*Angel though.

Ultra Violette · 01-31-2007, 11:17 PM

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I wonder if it's due to the unicode star symbol being in the folder name or file name, and unicode support not being activated.

Maybe try re-naming the folder/BMS to something without that star, and see if that fixes things.

By BPM do you mean the song tempo (as opposed to Be-Pachi Music in general

)

That's something I will definitely add in an upcoming version.

Warpticon · 02-02-2007, 11:11 PM

Haha, yes, I mean Beats Per Minute, not Be-Pachi Music.

SaxxonPike · 02-08-2007, 11:42 AM

How does one make a theme for Be-Pachi? Maybe you could put a guide in there. I'm certainly interested in making a theme for this sim. It may be somewhat similar to BMDX's layout but will be original graphics-wise.

t3hSurge · 02-08-2007, 11:08 PM

I'll be back in march.
