SAM: Music stops after getting T-Rex tooth

Description

Sam & Max, english talkie version Recent ScummVM CVS snapshot

The music goes quiet after you get the T-Rex tooth. I'm attaching a savegame, and will add some debugging information.

Something else is strange, too: If I leave the room and re-enter before getting the tooth, music 80 keeps playing in the background for a while, after it should have stopped. I haven't looked into that, but it probably has something to do with the forced transition from the dinosaur music (mostly percussion) to the overall Dino Bungie Memorial theme.

I'm assigning this to my todo list so the next time Torbjrn asks me about it in IRC I don't have to go searching for it again. ;)

Has anyone gotten anywhere, as to a work around for this?

comment:5 by SF/salty85, 20 years ago

Sorry, I created a workaround taht works for windows at least, after the fact that the music stops, save the game, quit ScummVM. Load ScummVM, delete the entry in the window for it, you have to reselect the item so it comes as a new item in ScummVM, when you then transition to a new area after loading the saved game, the music works.

comment:6 by eriktorbjorn, 20 years ago

The music just stops in this particular scene, not for the rest of the game. You don't have to save or quit ScummVM for it to start when you move to another room.

comment:7 by SF/salty85, 20 years ago

Well then I had a more serious error than the one reported.
After getting the tooth my music stopped completely.
Restarting the game did not help, or loading a new game, even restarting the app did not help. It was as if the settings that scummvm made for the game were corrupted at the point.

comment:8 by SF/jamieson630, 20 years ago

If you're using Windows, a bit of confusion over the old and new game music settings may have caused a burst of music events to be generated and resulted in the Windows multimedia layer MMSYSTEM locking up. Happens a lot, and is not peculiar to ScummVM. Nothing for it but to restart Windows or, if you're adventurous, go into the hardware devices list and disable, then re-enable, the MIDI or wavetable/software synth device.

Wierd, all I needed to do was to delete the Scumm Entry for it, and relocate it and the problem was fixed.

I think I see the reason for this bug. It tries to set up two triggers with the same sound and id. Our implementation thinks it's ok to re-use a trigger slot if the new trigger has the same sound and id as an existing one, so the trigger to restart the music was lost.

I've changed the trigger handling slightly so that it only reuses the slot if the sound, id and the first command parameter are the same.
