Time to start searching for some BGVids

As for the BGanims not being avi or mov, thats cool cuz I wanna make my own anyway...my multimedia college schooling has to work for something...

AVI support won't be in the next upcoming version, but is certainly possible in the future.

I just need to figure out DirectShow first.

Also, progress is happening at a decent pace, and the new version will definitely be done before the end of this month.

Avi vids are sweet

I just hope it's easy to make them work and east to sync them.

"skin_cfg.txt file not found! Check for froper skin installation! Exiting..."

that comes up every time i try to run the proggy. i jus dont get it, the files are all there....i downloaded from the first link btw.
any suggestions?

LocalCob · 08-14-2006, 08:31 PM

sorry for the double post but i found the error of my ways......ya im dumb nuff sed

Ultra Violette · 08-14-2006, 08:38 PM

It's okay

I do need to improve the error handling of BPM, that will be something for me to work on later.

Heh, day by day as I do my ripping thing, I keep wondering if there will ever be support for a BMS player with support to play songs within ZIP files. That would be the coolest thing ever, IMO, and really boost organization. ZIP is generally fast, too -- you should give it a shot. There are free libraries out there for this kind of thing like zLib.

EDIT: I miss my custom title already

Would you mind telling me how you fixed it? I'm getting the same error...

Edit: Pretty much as soon as I got done posting this, I figured it out, somehow. XD Thanks anyway.

Also, I have 2 gamepads hooked up to my computer (one being my BM pad), and I can only assign buttons to the first one. Maybe you could add something to select which controller I want to use? The PSX-USB connector is the second joystick ID so it's not being detected during setup.

Ultra Violette · 08-16-2006, 10:27 AM

I'll try to add ZIP support (and maybe others) at some point, I'll definitely want to add in a true cache system before that though. Probably another "version after this next one" feature

As for the controller select, I'll fix that now.

Just tried this out finally. Definately playable, nothing show-stopping missing or anything.

Unfortunately my windows computer really sucks and it seems i'm only getting ~20 frames per second or so. Just smooth enough to play but could be better.

Which leads me to my request: I'd like some way to turn off the visualizations so every cpu cycle goes toward making the notes scroll smoother.

And yes, I have high priority on.

One more thing: bug apple about that linux build you mentioned in the readme.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Ultra Violette · 08-19-2006, 10:31 PM

Thank you!

The next version will dispose of that generic 3D background, and instead be replaced with 2 or 3 default 'normal' 2D animations, which will boost frame rate considerably.

Also an option to totally disable BG Animations is currently added to the next version.

My self-set deadline of August 31st is fast approaching, and I don't know if I'll meet it, but I'm still getting closer to a completed release.

And... Because I hate having BPM look like a poor clone of BemaniaDX, I'd like to have the following done before releasing the next version:

-Finish up new Title Screen sequence
-Make new song select
-Make new results screen
-Implement a mode select (Be-Music/Be-Pachi/others later)
-Implement a player select (1P/Vs.Ghost/others later)
-Make those default 2D animations for BMS without their own BGA (1 almost done)

However, the coding is done for now, the song 'intro' sequence is done, as is the main game play portion.
