Aight, thank's for answering

@Moldy Chrissant I dont think so. WAV files are mostly used for short SFX because of their size; one minute of audio is around 10 MB compared to 2-3 MB in MP3 or OGG. Technically they should have better audio quality but for most users the difference would be negligible

Just, will you eventually add compatibaility for .WAV files in the future? Or nah?

This might actually just be the best music addon in Garry's mod

Strange since I didnt change anything related to pack loading. It was just a UI update but well glad its working

newest update fixed the issue! works flawlessly!

lua_run_cl did nothing, running them on regular lua_run all returned =[C]

Well it could be since its a pretty big base. You can check for sure by typing this into the console one by one:

lua_run_cl print(debug.getinfo(file.Find, "S").source)
lua_run_cl print(debug.getinfo(engine.GetAddons, "S").source)
lua_run_cl print(debug.getinfo(string.match, "S").source)
lua_run_cl print(debug.getinfo(string.find, "S").source)

each of these should return '=[C]'

From testing, it seems to be.. Arc9??

It worked! now to find the mod that's clashing.

@Lunar Lights Disable all your other addons. 99% of the time this happens because another addon overrides global functions

The mod isn't seeing any packs I install, and keeps saying there are none.

it works now, and now on the workshop: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3586590219

i followed all the steps on how to make a music pack and it doesnt show up in my pack selection

nombat moment

I tested it myself. It works fine in Map Sweepers and will probably work in other gamemodes.

I didnt test it but it should work

Does it works in gamemodes other than Sandbox, like in Map Sweepers?
It would be nice if it works at least in Map Sweepers.

Now it works

should be fixed now

For some reason, my priority doesn't change when I want to change it for assigned npc.

You can try loading packs using debug mode, since it doesn’t rely on engine.GetAddons()

I didn’t specify it to check only the C:/ drive. Maybe this bug is related to engine.GetAddons() only searching the drive where Steam is installed? Not sure

does it only check the c drive for music packs? it stopped working after i moved my gmod installation to my external hard drive

for now i'll just use 16th note whenever i want synced tracks

yea, the code i wrote is also like, really bad and breaks most of the time

The state switching and play functions are very fragile and generally a pain to work with. It took me two days just to get a track from an assigned NPC to play correctly and its still barely working. I might add your request in the future but for now its not my top priority

ok so i tried to add synchronization myself but its completely broken

when it comes to the whole y'know "no option for tracks to be synced" thing, i'll just do it myself if you won't

x86-64 works for me

i have had the problem with some different addons as well, kind of forgot about them though

No, that's not the case, it would print a different error if so. I couldn’t find any info about this error online so it really looks like a problem with gmod itself or the BASS library. The last thing you could try is switching your game version to x86-64 chromium

wait, i have an idea, i think its looking for the sounds in the pack, in my addons folder, but it doesnt find it due to me not having it or something, i dont even know

can someone make a hotline miami battlebeats soundtrack? since it fits the style so well

i tried the addon alongside the pack 2 or 3 times without anything else, i have verified file integrity a bunch of times, still doesnt work, i think i have to stick with nombat even if battle beats has a lot more better packs

Try disabling all other addons or verifying your game files. I’ve never encountered this error, and the error code itself doesn’t even sound like an error (BASS_OK???????). Maybe another addon is interfering or your game files are corrupted

from the workshop

Are you using packs from the workshop, or are you loading them locally?

AND i tried playing with just battle beats and the pack, still doesnt work

and, on the right it says "failed to play sound, check console for details" in game, not on console

for me, i think its prob something on my side, but one of the errors on the console is
[BattleBeats Client] Error playing sound: sound/battlebeats/*thepackihave*/ambient/*the song that was playing*.mp3 Code: 0 Error: BASS_OK

What kind of errors are you getting? Console Lua errors, or built-in notification errors (e.g failed to play sound)? Please share them. This sounds like some addon might be overriding GMod Lua functions

the tracks for me just, dont work at all
it spams errors for me, and when it starts to try and play a track, nothing plays, i have 2 music packs on, tried disabling one while keeping the other enabled, tried the otherway around, nothing

ok

Load Local Packs and Debug Mode only work with battlebeats packs. 16th note, sbm, and nombat are supported only if installed through the workshop

does not work with 16th note packs installed locally in the addons folder

I can add support for Dynamo & Action Music (as someone asked earlier) but it would only be basic support. All the special song types like for Aliens, or battle_intensive/suspense in AM, would just be converted to standard combat with no extra categories. I’m currently working on the ability to assign specific tracks to NPCs so that could serve as a replacement feature

is compatibility for dynamo packs planned?

I made my own Undertale battlebeats pack not knowing there was already one on the workshop (oops)

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3564196665

Yes it’s kind of unintended. I’m planning to add an option to assign a specific track to an NPC to play during fights (could be useful for make boss fights) and while doing that, I’ll probably add exceptions for harmless NPCs that still trigger combat
