HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

[kyonides]

Version 1.2.15 Has Definitively Arrived!

Stable Release

Codename: AudioUnlooped

Available Platforms

• Linux
  
• Windows
  

Recent Changes:

• Audio Module:
  • Improved check_focus performance by skipping parts of the code if no change has taken place.
    
  • Added openal_error for debugging purposes, returns 0 if everything worked fine.
    Warning: This method's internal value gets cleared right after calling it.
    
  • Added RPG::AudioFile#read and RPG::BGM#read and RPG;;BGS#read methods.
    They let you retrieve an audio file's seconds, samples, sample rate, type (ogg, midi, mp3, wave) and ext (ogg, mid, mp3, wav) without ever playing the file!
    Note on MP3: Right now it can only verify ID3 tagged files.
    
  • All the classes mentioned above automatically include read access to those methods.
    
  • Added bgm_set_loop, bgs_set_loop and several variants to let you set a custom loop start and loop length points in OGG files.
    MP3 files have not been tested. MIDI files seem to lack a similar feature.
    
  • Fixed a SE bug that prevented them from playing more than 6 times in a row.
        I found out that the original mkxp system to track them down was unnecessarily complex and did not provide the game developers with any noticeable advantage. So I simply stripped it from the code, and voilà, it works always now! Just as expected!
    
• Updated HiddenPlayList XP script.
  

NOTES

Thanks to the Lord that I was finally able to find the nasty  bug that prevented the engine from playing all SE even in rapid succession. 
(Otherwise, I would have had to revert a few of the latest improvements I made in the last couple of releases. )

RPG::AudioFile is the only audio file class available on RMXP by default so you would need to pass a type like "bgm" or "bgs" to its read method let it find the actual file and extract its internal values.
RPG::BGM and RPG::BGS are RPG::AudioFile's child classes and they implicitly know what kind of directory they are looking for, so read needs no argument at all in those cases.
Of course, if you are running the HiddenChest engine, you can create RPG::BGM and RPG::BGS files at will, even on RMXP!
