[Resolved] Issue with VX Title Screen Sound Effects by SephirothSpawn

[sondex]

I get this error when I don't edit the script to play a sound when you choose, New game:

Script 'Vocab' line 213: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'terms' for nil:NilClass

I get this error when I edit the script to play a sound when you choose the option, New Game:

Script 'VX Title Screen Sound Effects' line 14: SyntaxError occurred.

Here is the original script.

Here is a list of my scripts that deal with sound:

VX Title Screen Sound Effects -SephirothSpawn
SG Start of Turn Sound          -sandgolem
[RMVX] Lomexi's Battle Theme Adjuster -Lomexi
Fade Battle End ME                -Kylock

It might be a compatibility issue. Can anyone help?

 

[Dargor]

It's because the Vocab module uses the System data and this data isn't loaded.

Add this line of code right under module Sound.

$data_system = load_data("Data/System.rvdata")

Take care!

I tried to put that code under the module sound in SephirothSpawns' script and then The SOund script. Neither worked. What resulted was this:

Script 'VX Title Screen Sound Effects' line 15: SyntaxError occurred.

I put it here in his script:

#==============================================================================

  Title_Screen_SE = {}
  Title_Screen_SE[Vocab::new_game] = [
    # [filename, volume, pitch]
    ['areyouafraid', 100, 100]
    ['Let us begin', 100, 100]
    ['thisworld', 100, 100]
  ]
  Title_Screen_SE[Vocab::continue] = [
    # [filename, volume, pitch]

I appreciate your effort and I thank you for it.

 

[Dargor]

It's because you forgot to separate your arrays with comas.
Do it like that:

['areyouafraid', 100, 100],
['Let us begin', 100, 100],
['thisworld', 100, 100]

-_-'

Are you serious!? THAT was it? God, I'm so stupid...

Thank you very much for your patience Dargor.

Oh, wait! A new problem!

I'll put it up in a second!

Script 'VX Title Screen Sound Effects' line 43: NoMethodError
undefined method 'play_title_scene_se' for Audio: Module

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Sorry. Change:
      Audio.play_title_scene_se(c)
to

      Sound.play_title_scene_se(c)


Offtopic: I really don't see the point of creating the terms thing in the database, then having a vocab module. I guess different VX language packs have different vocab settings and the terms let's people control whatever. I still don't see the point. Enterbrain should have made it so they can modify all vocab terms in the database and had it read/modify the vocab module instead of creating a data structure for terms.

 

[sondex]

It's almost done! There is only one more problem. Whenever I test play the game, it says it can't find the file I specified.

Project1 cannot find file areyouafraid

Whether the file comes with the program itself does not matter.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Make sure you are including the directory in the filename:

'Audio/SE/filename

I cannot agree more. Also, I haven't tried your script Seph but I'm not sure if your play_title_scene_se method would work in VX. There's a difference with XP and I've never had good results with Audio.se_play in VX.
I usually use

se = RPG::SE.new(name, voulme, pitch)
se.play

To play an SE. But I can be wrong.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Yeah, I haven't really tested this out. I do like what they did to make sound files play automatically (I actually added this to the MACL so it works in XP, in theory, by checking filenames). But the play method in the RPG::SE still just re-directs to the se_play method in the audiomodule. The difference is you aren't creating an object and wasting a memory.

And they should have used the Struct class for the data structure, if they didn't.

RPG::Map = Struct.new(:tileset_id, :width, :height, :autoplay_bgm, :bgm, :autoplay_bgs, :bgs, :encounter_list, :encounter_step, :data, :events)

I have never seen anyone use this (don't know if you've seen this), but that right there is a lot shorter than:

class RPG::Map
    attr_accessor :tileset_id
    attr_accessor :width
    attr_accessor :height
    attr_accessor :autoplay_bgm
    attr_accessor :bgm
    attr_accessor :autoplay_bgs
    attr_accessor :bgs
    attr_accessor :encounter_list
    attr_accessor :encounter_step
    attr_accessor :data
    attr_accessor :events
end

 

[Dargor]

Wow, I didn't knew about that O_O This could come in handy sooner or later. Do you have any documentation on this? I'd like to know more about this Struct class.

 

[Zeriab]

Here ya go Dargor: http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/Programmin ... truct.html

Maybe they are not making RPG::Map as a struct due to default values for the various attributes?
Since they are creating them through the editor I don't see why they wouldn't have done that though.

 

[Dargor]

Haha ruby-doc.org, I should have thought about it before. ><
Thanks for the info.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

I just found it a month ago myself. I find it very useful for data-structure objects. And you can add methods to a Struct object, so no worries there:

Game_Map = Struct.new(:width, :height)
class Game_Map
  def say_hi
    p width, height
  end
end

$game_map = Game_Map.new(20, 15)
$game_map.say_hi # -> 20, 15

 

[sondex]

-_-' I am sorry.

For some reason, It still cannot find the file I put. If you wanna give up on it, go ahead. It's driving me crazy! All this just to play a sound at the beginning of a new game!

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Can you make a demo for me with your sound files. I will help you out if I can see what files you are working on.

 

[sondex]

Ok, I will. It's HUGE though. I got to get rid of the songs that are not mine...(RMVX- Game creation device and also a music player! XD It's about 125+ MB I'll edit this post with the file once I'm done....

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Thats too much. Just tell me what files you are trying to get to play.

 

[sondex]

Alrighty. These are custom sounds. You want me to upload them?

You probably aren't including the path in your filenames (I could be wrong).

['Audio/SE/Equip', 100, 100],

Make sure you put a comma after each of them too.
