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)

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

honestly underrated for a music system, even having compatibility for other music packs from different music system addons. it's pretty great for what it is and enjoyed it well enough to grab some music packs from this and stuff like nombat's
still find it funny as fuck that even a mere bird can cause combat music to play (tbh if this was some weird unintended bug, it could be a feature since it's comedic)

Ah

@Nerd Sorry but I’ve only made packs for games I play. You can make one yourself by following the instructions in this discussion:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3473911205/594021909912390256/

It’s very straightforward and you don’t even need to upload it to the Workshop for it to work

If you take requests on packs to make, my I request pizza tower?

should be fixed, ty for reporting

[BattleBeats | Ambient and Combat music] lua/autorun/client/cl_battlebeats_pack_selector.lua:15: Tried to use a NULL Panel!
1. GetWide - [C]:-1
2. CreateInfoBoxes - lua/autorun/client/cl_battlebeats_pack_selector.lua:15
3. unknown - lua/autorun/client/cl_battlebeats_pack_selector.lua:54

The only thing Action Music has over BattleBeats is two extra combat types: Intense Battle and Suspense. That’s about it. It’s also missing many features that BattleBeats has. Making new packs is basically impossible now since the author removed all his tutorial videos, and it seems like he abandoned the project

is action music any better or worse?

16th Note support was added recently, after I made the comparison table. I’m still figuring out how to add it without making the table look messy. For now, I’d say it’s pretty similar to mine, but mine has a few improvements and some unique/extensive features

Although you mentioned that it works with SBM, Nombat, and 16th Note music packs, you only compare it to SBM and Nombat, so I was wondering how this compares to 16th Note.

I see, thank you

This addon is mostly client-side and packs forced from the server aren’t directly supported. However resource.AddWorkshop() should work, maybe it’s being run after the packs are loaded?
You could try reloading packs after joining the server.
You can also experiment with Debug Mode and the Load Local Packs option

Cool.
Can I add packs from the server side?
I tried adding packs to the client using resource.AddWorkshop() but the pack for BattleBeats are recognised as LocalPack and pack such as SBM are not recognised.

I made a battlebeats pack. here it is. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3542802193

Not yet, but it's something I might consider adding. For now, the only related toggleable feature is that combat tracks will play from the same pack as the ambient ones

Very cool, I don't know if this is a feature already, but can you create an option to connect Ambient and Combat tracks? Like, if Ambient Track 1 plays, so will Combat Track 1 play until the Ambient track has finished. It would make things feel a lot better if Ambient and Combat tracks were more consistent.

only other issue i've found is that with the "Anti-Screamer" mod enabled, the first song will be paused when starting a map. but, it's very easy to workaround, and i mean... duh, anti-screamer is supposed to do that, lmao

jokes aside, point is: no issues worth reporting but i'll let you know if i run into something.
thanks again!
