New ZDOOM port to Amiga 68k

[pipper]

Good this shows, it works in principle!

I dont understand you. I have doomsound_midi.library in libs:

I usually opt to not copy the libraries to LIBS: if I can; to not clutter the system folder too much :-)

ZDOOM LOAD and I can listen the MIDI in the first screen. but when I select NEW GAME the game crash!
Same in RISE OF THE TRIAD. APOGEE LOGO is showed with MIDI music but when I push a button for load the game, it crash.

I don't have the source to these, so I can't know why that happens. It would be up to NovaCoder to help debugging this. If we know which call to doomsound.library causes it, we might find out whats wrong. It seems, though as if it is related to switching songs maybe?!

(btw, your version runs to a lower framerate)

That's interesting, they should perform the same for identical resolution. Did you select different resolution for both?

[Estrayk]

Maybe there're any problem when change the song ?

BTW, Same resolution in both.

Just browsing the ROTT source (assuming this is what you have been trying) at https://github.com/lantus/ROTT
I can see a potential problem in

int MUSIC_StopSong(void)
{
    if (!fx_initialized)
    {
        setErrorMessage("Need FX system initialized, too. Sorry.");
        return(MUSIC_Error);
    } // if

    if (musicHandle)
    {
        Mus_Unregister(musicHandle);      <<<<< DONT UNREGISTER BEFORE CALL TO Mus_Stop()
        Mus_Stop(musicHandle);
    }
    
    return(MUSIC_Ok);
} // MUSIC_StopSong

'musicHandle' will be invalid after Mus_Unregister(musicHandle).

Maybe @Lantus360 can fix that? I am currently not set up to compile his sources.

Also, try AmiWolf RTG which uses the doomsound.library in a better way I think.

int MUSIC_StopSong(void)
{
    if (!fx_initialized)
    {
        setErrorMessage("Need FX system initialized, too. Sorry.");
        return(MUSIC_Error);
    } // if

    if (musicHandle)
    {
        Mus_Unregister(musicHandle);      <<<<< DONT UNREGISTER BEFORE CALL TO Mus_Stop()
        Mus_Stop(musicHandle);
    }
    
    return(MUSIC_Ok);
} // MUSIC_StopSong

ZDOOM doesn't do this but it doesn't use the channels properly, I think only AmiWolf/AmiSpear use the library properly.

I don't have much time to debug Amiga project's these days I'm afraid.

[pipper]

CAMDoomSound only redirects the MUS_xxx functions. the SFX_xxx functions are all untouched. I don't think channel selection will have anything to do with the hang?
What will, though, is if MUS_Register/MUS_Unregister are not used properly or more than one song gets registered at any time.

[NovaCoder]

Okay makes sense.

Well if someone can test AmiWolf/AmiSpear and it works then I could probably update ZDOOM to match

Has anyone experienced an issue in Doom2 with Level 6 (The Crusher)? The Spiderdemon and Baron of Hell characters randomize to characters from other games and upon dying because the Baron of Hell is impossible to kill, the level ends and when you try to move on from the text intro to Level 7, a software failure error occurs?

This may be an FS-UAE-only issue. I can provide screenshots if you wish. This occurs in both RTG and AGA versions of ZDoom.

ODAMEX is a better port for you I think.

ZDOOM is a nice port but ODAMEX seems more stable.

Ok, thanks Novacoder. I'll try it out.

I downloaded AmiWolf 1.32
http://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/AmiWolf_RTG
and IT WORKS !!!

if I load pipper patch before, sounds via MIDI in the menu and in the game.

[NovaCoder]

Very cool

I'll see if I can update ZDOOM to match AmiWolf

Please

[pipper]

I uploaded a fixed ROTT.exe to the Zone. This will work with CAMDoomSound.
Let me know if this is faster or slower than the original port, I'd like to know how the different compilers used to compile both did.

[NovaCoder]

What did you have to change to get it working?

[apex]

Lost the overview, is there a package for testing? I have a running MIDI system on my A500 with Vampire for testing.

MIDI works like a charm. Great work pipper!
But I dont know really if runs more faster. Let me check it tonight, but MIDI works perfectly


Btw, for anyone interested, all testing has been done with a real A1200+vampire 1200+KS3.9+MIDI interface+CAMD+Roland SC-88

This is the interface that I use: (not advertising, just for your information)
https://amigastore.eu/en/590-midi-in...for-amiga.html
And this is the CAMD lib that I use:
http://aminet.net/package/mus/edit/camd
I know that there're a new version:
https://github.com/kmatheussen/camd
but doesnt work very well with my config. I used the old one.

-> use 0 as "no music registered"
-> don't call Mus_Unregister before Mus_Stop
-> set musicHandle back to 0 after Mus_Unregister such that we don't attempt to unregister twice

I don't want to hijack NovaCoder's thread, so I'll make it short.
I wrote a small tool 'CAMDoomSound' that redirects doomsound.library's music playback to CAMD. This allows a range of NovaCoder's ports to play music via real MIDI without modifying anything. The 'ADoom' archive in the zone has the tool.

I have been asked if Rise of the Triad (using doomsound.library, too) can be made do the same, but the ROTT port has a bug that crashes when CAMDoomSound does its thing. So I set out to fix that and uploaded the fixed executable to the zone as well 'ROTT.exe'
You will need the original port from Aminet ( http://aminet.net/package/game/misc/ROTT_V1.0 )and also follow the included instructions on how to patch the original WAD. Otherwise the sound is horribly distorted and no music playback will happen.

Thank you.

BTW, pipper, I tested Strife today and seems that also work with your CAMDoomSound
