500 tracks of free game music!

[ikarus]

In order to learn... you have to click everywhere and everything. That's how I learned

Also, I tried Milky Tracker and Renoise (I'm pretty sure its free). I found that they limited my creativity, while Open MPT just seems to work with my ideas

Yeah that's usually my method too, but I think it's mostly because I'm not very musically gifted. I lean more toward game design, story, and art related stuff. I've been trying to get my wife into making music for any of my games and she seems interested but never really makes an effort to learn anything. She's one of those people where if it doesn't work for her right away she's not willing to learn. Which is sad cause she's super good at music! She's synesthetic so she can actually see music visually and I'm so jealous lol

Look it up, real thing synesthesia. I'm so jealous of these people lmao! XD

I know about synesthesia, it's a pretty interesting way of perceiving things.

Hmm, I could try to search good tutorials... I know the ones I read were in french, seems Open MPT is really popular in France.

Huh, seems this should be quite detailed: http://www.modplug.com/modplug/tutorial ... step1.html

Thanks gogo

[tintran]

can someone please help?

i use
'ffmpeg -i music.mp3 music.wav' to convert .mp3 to .wav
then in GameEditor try to use PlayMusic and selected the .wav and it still complaints
'This wav file is not supported.
Please, convert this file to a PCM encoded wav file or select other file.'

[Game A Gogo]

http://www.nch.com.au probably has a better program than that.

on top of that, using wave files for music is HIGHLY unrecommended.
Instead I'd recommend using OGG (Ogg vorbis) sound files, they usually have the same size as an MP3, but holds better quality.

Thanks GameAGogo,
but now when everytime i try to load a .ogg file with PlayMusic, GameEditor crashes and closes, any idea why?

[skydereign]

Which version of gE are you using? I know ogg crashes the normal releases of gE on fedora, but on the .net site there is an gameEditorLinuxAlsa version that should be able to play oggs. Though I believe once you save using the alsa version it won't load in the normal (I'd have to double check when I get home).

[tintran]

i am using GE1.4 just right off the main download page.
could you give me the link to the .net gameEditorLinuxAlsa version so i could try it out?

[skydereign]

You have to have an account on the game-editor.net site to actually download, but here's the link.

[tintran]

tried to run the alsa version with ./gameEditor
and i got a
./gameEdtior: error while loading shared libraries: libesd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so i ran 'yum whatprovides */libesd.so.0'
i got a

Repo : fedora
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/lib/libesd.so.0
so i ran 'yum install esound-libs-0.2.41-3.fc12.i686' and installed it
now i got a
open /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory

KrResourceVault::LoadDatFile failed to open file 'editor.dat'

now i am stuck don't know what to do any idea?

[Hblade]

Do what I do, install the latest wine and run the EXE

[skydereign]

From my experience fedora and wine don't get along well. And for the sake of gE and Linux, just defaulting to the windows version would mean the Linux version would never be improved. Did you put that executable into the directory that your other gE executable was? It needs to be with the gE environment, otherwise it will complain about /dev/sequencer and segfault.

[tintran]

Hblade,
everytime i load an .ogg file with wine, wine gives me a program error.

Skydereign,
i tried putting that in the same folder as the other ge executables to be in the same environment but now i get this huge dump

i wonder if i need to install something to have /dev/sequencer

[skydereign]

It shouldn't be necessary. If I recall correctly, /dev/sequencer is a compatibility layer for midi using oss. I can run the alsa sound version without having /dev/sequencer. It used to be included by default, in fedora 13 and earlier (I think). I do remember having to do something else to get it to work, but it currently eludes me.

Okay guys, it's been almost two years since launching nosoapradio with (was it 30 tracks?)

The collection has grown to 260 tracks now, totalling nearly 10 hours!

The site interface was redone with a search feature that lets you find more specifically what you need music for.

It's still in beta so it looks a bit shabby but it works just the way it was intended.

Enjoy!
