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

[Morter]

It's been a while. I hope it's not dead.

[Dreamcube017]

Me too I really like this sim.... School gotr in the way? Same for me.

[Ultra Violette]

Sorry for the constant delays with this...

Real life and other things are getting in the way of my releasing a new version. That and I don't want to release something that looks incomplete (even more so than normally )

Although I am working on it little by little, and I think I might be able to have something ready by this Saturday.

open up the .bme files in the song folder and remove the line with "video.avi"

Assuming you got your sims from sherl0ks site, you should only have to check 1st style songs.

When I try to play I g to the song menu and none of my songs are there! I went to the confic and instead of ./songs/ I changed it to the direct folder of were the songs were and still NOTHING! And they are all BMS files.

[Ultra Violette]

Hmmm I thought I fixed that video.avi bug, although it will be fixed in the next version (later this week, I hope)


skibblesx:
Are they 5-key or 7-key songs? You might want to adjust the "BMS File Type" under the System menu to your preference.

Also, if you don't have Automatic Cache Update enabled, the cache would need to be manually updated (System>Update Cache Now)

[Ultra Violette]

And just when the next update seemed like it would never happen, well here it is

Admittedly it's not much of an update, but it's better than nothing, and I wanted something new before the end of the year.

BPM is now version 0.06!

New features include:
- A new 'Be-Yacht' play mode (Similar to Yahtzee... Play a song normally, then use the score as your dice roll to earn more points)
- A semi-new theme, with a better play screen.
- Improved AVI video support, using #VIDEOFILE and #VIDEODLY commands
- A completely renovated config screen, it's now in its own executable file.
- Full combo animation, song progress slider, and more...
- Bug fixes, and plenty of them!
- version 0.05x themes are fully compatible

I updated the first post in this topic with new screen shots as well.

And here's the download links:

RAR format: http://x-raise.cjb.net/bpm_dl/bpm_v0.06.rar - 3.45 MB
ZIP format: http://x-raise.cjb.net/bpm_dl/bpm_v0.06.zip - 5.72 MB

Source code for this version is uploaded for archival purposes. It's here:
http://x-raise.cjb.net/bpm_dl/bpm_v0.06_src.zip - 418 KB

Apologies for the delay in this release... but I hope you enjoy it , and of course I welcome (and want) all feedback on this

Pretty sweet...just two things:

-The blue notes on MP1.5 look really pale and too much like the white notes.
-And also it still says "BPM is now ver0.05" on the title screen.

i like how the new theme looks.
very good job

[Ultra Violette]

SX6:
Thank you


Ashura96:
Thanks for noticing those things... I admit the new version was a bit of a rush job, so things like that were forgotten



And, update time! v0.061 addresses:

- Both things Ashura96 mentioned (correct version/date and better blue note contrast)
- 4-bit and 8-bit RLE bitmap support
- BGA images less than 256 pixels in width will now be correctly displayed in the center, instead of on the left side (Quite noticeable in Cranky's "Snow" BMS)
- And other smaller things


Since the update fixes both the program and the themes, I recommend a full re-download instead of getting certain individual files (it would get confusing I think).

And here's the links:

RAR format: http://x-raise.cjb.net/bpm_dl/bpm_v0.061.rar - 3.45 MB
ZIP format: http://x-raise.cjb.net/bpm_dl/bpm_v0.061.zip - 5.72 MB

for some reason the sound is not working =(. anyone know why?

[SX6]

the game lags when ever theres a video playing

[Ashura96]

I have to admit, I know I don't have enough ram than the minimum, but it seems that the new program of this version occasionally takes forever to load some songs (ones at least 5mb, with hundreds of different key sounds) and many times it will throw them off sync...this never happened in 0.05xx

If there was anyway to "optimize" bms files or compress their size, I would love to know.
