#Problems with the "progress" Parameter

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i've been trying to use fmod to import a custom song for screwing around in loenn, and my progress parameter does nothing (Music Progress). any ideas?

tldr i created the song with different tracks, added a fade parameter and added a progress parameter (defaulting to 1.0, between 0.0 and 4.0) which automates the volume of each of the tracks (seek speed = 0.5), all in a separate folder to prevent conflict of course. i build the banks and export the GUIDS, copy the event i made into the Music dropdown, and set the Music Progress to 1.0, but no sound plays. Oddly enough, when I did a test without that parameter I was able to get it working, so I'm convinced I either configured the parameter wrong, or that something I don't know of entirely went wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

oh yeah, ping me if you can help at all :3 thx

Have you tried testing this in the Everest sound test?

late lion
#

ill do that and then let you know what happens

#

ngl i didnt even know there was a sound test, i was kind of just banging my skull against FMOD and changing the Music Progress param in lonn

#

i watched iamdadbods tutorial and found my way to the github wiki and stuff

scarlet copper
#

Yeah, the sound test is useful

late lion
#

yeah just tested

#

btw thanks for letting me know about it

#

i only found info about it directly on the everest page

#

no where else

#

and its probably fmod?

#

becuase no sound

#

but in fmod it works fine

scarlet copper
#

No sound for all progress settings?

late lion
#

yep

scarlet copper
late lion
#

i followed progression through volume automation

#

on that page

#

ill screenshot some key areas of my FMOD

#

(default progress is 1 iirc)

#

and yes, i have txnsor.guids.txt and txnsor.bank

#

probably should have done an extra folder because better naming scheme but eh

scarlet copper
#

And you said the music was working before without progress?

late lion
#

yeah

#

i might try and completely revert

#

as in do this all again

#

or just remove params

#

especially since this is a test mod for a bigger project i want to do i can afford screwing around

#

but is there anything i can send you that might help?

#

like fmod or everest logs lol

#

and thanks again

#

you've already been a big help going into the future

scarlet copper
#

Send the bank and guids perhaps? I'm not sure there's much I can think of to help, but maybe I'll see something

#

I also have not messed with progress myself, so I'm not completely sure on the steps

late lion
#

aight

#

if i had to guess, im probably not fully understanding the lonn implementation of progress and somehow screwing up "progress"

scarlet copper
#

If it doesn't work in the sound test, then loenn has nothing to do with the issue

late lion
#

my bad, i meant everest lol

#

but either way its an issue on my end

scarlet copper
late lion
#

and you put it in mod_directory > audio right?

#

because it doesn't work for me 😭 wth

#

let me try putting the files in the directory again and see if it just somehow like screwed up

scarlet copper
#

Did you find it in the sound test at least?

late lion
#

i found the event yeah

#

didnt work tho

scarlet copper
#

Then the location is fine

#

Is your music volume on

late lion
#

yeah

scarlet copper
#

Did you change the progress parameter like I was showing?

late lion
#

yeah

scarlet copper
#

And fade was 1?

late lion
#

yep

#

that was what it was default

scarlet copper
#

Did you hit Confirm on the sound test screen to start it playing?

#

It doesn't play automatically, you have to select it

late lion

i am the largest buffoon known to man

#

#
