musicpos and musiclen

[Gman4pwnu]

i tried play musicname.wav;(real file on server plays right)
and then setplayerprop #c,#v(musiclen(musicname.wav)) but that just showed as 0, so i tried just musiclen but that didn't work either.

so i remain with the question, how do they work?

[Kaimetsu]

Dunno, never used them. But I would frantically recommend that you use mp3s for music.

[Gman4pwnu]

alright kai.

[KuJi]

First off, your going to have to convert the seconds into minutes for it to play right. I believe it only works with mp3's.

Anyway, I was working on converting and I converted how long mp3 is, but I can't convert how much were into the song already.

If someone can shorten it, or make it so it shows how much were into the song, I'll be grateful.

NPC Code:

// NPC made by KuJi

if (created) play http://www.graalx.us/downloads/music/Encore/03-eminem-never_enough_(feat_50_cent_and_nate_dogg)_(produce  d_by_dr_dre_and_mike_elizondo).mp3;



if (playerchats && strequals(#c,/time)) {

  length = musiclen/60;

  length2 = strtofloat(#v(int(length)))*60;

  length3 = musiclen-length2;

  say2 #v(int(musicpos))/#v(int(musiclen)) - #v(int(length)):#v(int(length3));

}

I left the play part in their, cause that's the song i tested it in.

Sounds like you learned at the ProjectShifter school of scripting. Why do you use #v and strtofloat here?

O.o, PS school of scripting? O.o

You can't int it without

NPC Code:

---

strtofloat(#v(int(blah)))

---

I think.

Yes. It is the school where people learn how to script badly.

I think.

What purpose do the strtofloat and #v serve in that example? What made you think that you need them?

I don't know, I thought that was right. It still works so who cares O.o. Take it off then lol

Pretty much any competent scripter. The kind that know their tools and combine them to achieve precisely the result they want. The rest of you are just pressing buttons and hoping for the best.

Who cares, just do the other part of the script (Where it displays how much your in the song through min + seconds) :-D

You ask that question far too often.

should just be 'int(length)*60'

PHP Code:

if (created) {
  play 33.mp3;
  mlen = int(musiclen);
  timeout = .05;
}
if (timeout) {
  cpos = int(musicpos);
  left = int(musiclen-musicpos);
  message Total:#v(int(mlen/60))m#v(mlen%60)s
    Current:#v(int(cpos/60))m#v(cpos%60)s
    Left:#v(int(left/60))m#v(left%60)s;
  timeout = .05;
} 


newfeatures2002 says it doesn't work on midis, so unless you have a long wav file, I'd recommend using mp3s.

I still hate the CODE tags very much

[Gman4pwnu]

it wont work with wavs either i tried.
