Using these mods in this order and none of the music is changing. I tried clearing cache already,

enabling bgme framework causes all in game battle music to mute

brisk pagoda Jun 27, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

cleared bgme battle themes game cache

#

game is not mute, it's playing the right music ids

#

but the music isn't loading

brisk pagoda Jun 28, 2024, 2:00 AM

#

ok ive exhausted all my options with rena

#

we've confirmed that the game is loading the music as it's there on launch

#

we've reset bgme battle themes, reinstalled it, cleared cache

#

what's happening is that instead of playing the songs themselves, they're playing the original voice lines

#

for P4G at least

#

for P3P the songs just aren't being found and are defaulting to bgm 01.adx

#

gonna call in the big guns since it might be a mod loader issue

#

@low mist any ideas?

low mist Jun 28, 2024, 6:33 AM

#

I'm not sure, I don't really have any idea how bgme works, or really music stuff in general

low mist Jun 28, 2024, 6:34 AM

#

brisk pagoda what's happening is that instead of playing the songs themselves, they're playin...

This sounds like bgme is failing to redirect the music to me.

#

I'm assuming it uses existing IDs then redirects them to different music somehow based off that you said

low mist I'm assuming it uses existing IDs then redirects them to different music somehow...

bgme just changes the cue id that's loaded. in p4g it's confirmed by the voices, in p3p just lists the file loaded. p3p is especially weird since it loads, and fails to find, the file but their own bgme mod works fine. @hallow coyote

brisk pagoda Jun 28, 2024, 11:29 AM

#

yeah my own expanded bgm collection mod works just fine

#

it’s just brawlers randomized battle themes which doesn’t work

hallow coyote Jun 28, 2024, 1:16 PM

#

it's odd too because when I was trying to help out, I tested it on my end and I had no issues 😭

#

like I cannot reproduce those issues at all

#

I even booted up P3P just now to check and guess what? it works 💀

#

I will try to do some more extensive testing this weekend but right now I'm thoroughly baffled lol

brisk pagoda Jun 29, 2024, 1:39 AM

#

just another bonq moment 😔

#

sad times

#

very confused as to why expanded bgm collection works just fine but your mod doesn’t

#

if my mod didn’t work then i’d understand it being an issue with my installs or whatever

#

but my own mod working fine is really messing with me

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

I did a clean portable install of R2 and idk what to say, it just works on my end 💀

#

so expanded BGM collection is a mod that doesn't use battle themes, correct? but I'm not really convinced that's the issue

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

doesn't use battle themes

#

just bgme

#

it'd be weird if battle themes was the culprit though

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

yeah, obviously randomized battle themes uses bt as a dependency

#

this could be a certified bonq moment(TM) 😔

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

bonq_moment

#

that probably looks like shit on your end

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

like this is my current mod list, I don't know if it's worth showing anything more lol

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

brisk pagoda that probably looks like shit on your end

its a little small lol

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

hallow coyote like this is my current mod list, I don't know if it's worth showing anything mo...

I also didnt need to regenerate the cache for either essentials or battle themes either. but yeah this is a clean install so im just confused

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

very weird

#

i want to believe it's the battle theme part

#

because the issue happens across both P3P and P4G

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

could you try doing a clean install too? you can install R2 to a different folder and before booting it, add a file portable.txt to that folder (it doesnt need to have anything in it)

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

so both games messing up in the same way separately seems very low

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

let's see if it works in a clean install

#

if it doesnt, ill be baffled lol

#

the last thing i could test is getting mods on my laptop but I can definitely tell you that random battle themes was working then haha (granted this was a bit ago, but not much has changed for the mod itself)

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

doing a clean install

#

does it usually take a while to unpack

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

no, it was pretty quick for me

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

gotta love that it finishes downloading and then actually download nothing

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:26 AM

#

what's up with your computer lol

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:28 AM

#

every computer i get seems to be cursed

#

ive been on a new computer since april and it's also cursed

#

now the music won't randomize at all

#

just plays the same two normal tracks

#

#

all songs are on

#

any ideas?

#

why is awb emulator not a dependency Naofacepalm

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:34 AM

#

it installs when I boot the game

#

you'll need to also install BGME Framework manually

#

get it from the P5R page since the P4G release is out of date lol

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:35 AM

#

yeah i just downloaded music enhancement pack

#

has all the dependencies

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:35 AM

#

test it without MEP though

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:35 AM

#

clean install fixes it 😔

#

it working

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:36 AM

#

okay! well I'm glad to hear it isn't an issue with the mod lol

#

now what could be causing this on your main install, I honestly have no clue

#

the nuclear option is to just reset your settings (can you tell I'm a windows user?)

#

should be possible to do most of that by

deleting R2/Apps/p4g.exe
deleting R2/User
deleting AppData/Local/Reloaded-Mod-Loader-II

in practice I'd say back that stuff up, rename it, whatever and see if that helps.

of course there's always the possibility of something being incorrect with your current R2 loadout but it sounds like you already went thru the typical R2 troubleshooting steps

#

you could also delete Randomized Battle Themes and all associated mods and doing a clean install first to see if that helps

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:40 AM

#

ok wtf

#

what the fuck

#

it's another mod that's messing with it

#

i put all my mods back because i wanna fucking use em

#

issue is back

#

wait nevermind

#

something else happened

#

how do i get my old mods to show up in the new R2 install 😔

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

the new R2 install is a portable install, you'd have to get rid of portable.txt

#

but then it would probably inherit the settings from your normal r2 install

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

did that

#

all my mods are in the new mods folder

#

but none are showing up in the mod list

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

i think it's time for the nuclear option (again)

#

lol

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

no.

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:46 AM

#

bc my understanding is that the R2 settings in AppData also inherit the install location

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:46 AM

#

so it still thinks im using the old one

#

do i just add portable.txt to the old one?

#

ok yeah it's using the mods folder from my old install

#

ok we're back and testing with all my mods now

#

why is everything dying now of all times ughghghghghghg

#

@low mist dying on CSM

📎 2024-06-30_07.52.29__P4G.txt

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:53 AM

#

how are you having issues with CSM holy moly 😭

low mist Jun 30, 2024, 7:53 AM

#

yosukepensive

#

Can you delete your cache

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

access to the path is denied??? what did you do lol

low mist Jun 30, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

oh yeah that's really weird

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

god bless our overlord cache

#

clearing it always fixes it, god bless

#

fucking path is denied, uhhhhhhh clear your cache, somehow that fixes it

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:55 AM

#

clearing the cache should really be like a more commonly known troubleshooting solution lol

low mist Jun 30, 2024, 7:55 AM

#

I have no idea why that path is denied stuf actually happens

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:55 AM

#

and we're back to broken voice lines 😔

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:55 AM

#

sobbing

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

seems like it's an issue with another mod or something

#

this makes no sense

low mist Jun 30, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

hallow coyote clearing the cache should really be like a more commonly known troubleshooting s...

It really shouldn't need to be, the cahce should just work properly 🫠

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

well it should :p

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

one mod enabled at a time i guess

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

what's your current mod list?

#

i know i can check the log but it's annoying to read thru that ngl

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

basically

#

scratch the last one off

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

when you say that do you mean you have BGME framework enabled or?

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

yes

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

this is quite the issue isn't it

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

what?

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

just this general issue you're having

#

i'm unsure what more to suggest is what i'm trying to say haha, im kinda baffled

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

every mod disabled, only other one on is no tv static 64, back to voice lines

#

it was working before

#

mod list

#

everything enabled when it doesn't work

#

naosmiley

#

wanna know the answer?

#

BGME FRAMEWORK GOES ABOVE THE RANDOMIZED BATTLE THEME MODS

#

the entire time it was fucking load order

#

i gotta confirm this shit

#

one second

#

im about to lose my mind

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

really???

#

in the picture of the portable install I sent earlier, my BGME framework is below randomized battle themes and it worked fine 😭

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

holy shit

#

that's the answer

#

oh my lord

#

we're back and it works

#

yes, it works

#

that was the answer 😔

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

I'm really confused why that was the solution bc I'm pretty sure in my main install, I have bgme below randomized battle themes and it's all good 😔

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

who knows

#

i am probably cursed is the answer

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

real odd issue that's for sure....

#

maybe 😔

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

can't believe it was load order

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 8:09 AM

#

pretty baffled about that one myself...

brisk pagoda Jun 30, 2024, 8:09 AM

#

what song is 741 in P4G btw

#

ive been sitting here jamming to it

hallow coyote Jun 30, 2024, 8:09 AM

#

well, I'll close this thread then. I'm not sure why load order was a factor for you, but well it's been solved lol
