Looking at the tune/song data, that's apparently how it is supposed to sound :

/* 34 - Temple Fanfare 1 */ { { 60, 162, 0 }, { 0, 0 }, 2, 0 },

The sixth field is equal to 2, which means "don't loop and play the tune once".

well, alright, but shouldn't there be some background atmospheric going on? It's quite too silent.

And why does the atmospheric sound comes when Joe drops down to the wind-tunnel thingie? Attached a savegame now, where it is silent at the femal zombie's place, just drop down to hear the background sound coming back

I agree with you, it's too silent. It would be nice to test this with the original version under DOS and compare.

Anyway, it's normal you hear the music back when Joe drop down from the zombie's place. When that event occurs, another tune is queued :

/* 58 - Temple Fountain Room */ { { 55, 0 }, { 0, 0 }, 1, 0 },

"1" standing for "play the tune and loop".

A possible problem could be that we are not saving the _songQueue array.

Question: did you always observe this behaviour just after loading a savegame ? Or could this also happen in game without having restored the game for a long time ?

I played the game right through (in one go) the first time, saving periodically (for bug hunting) and got this behaviour there too (with no loading at all) the other times aswell (when loading from saved games to reach the exact point where the music stops).

So, yes, it also happened while palying and not loading at all...

I have a similar problem in the jungle in room 9. To reproduce, open the debug console and type "room 9", then leave the room and return.

An "intro" theme will play for a few seconds. In the original engine, the end of that scene will start another music that will loop. In ScummMV, after that initial theme nothing plays.

I have made a bad recording of the original music, if anyone wants to compare, but I have no way of attaching it to this bug.

comment:7 by cyxx, 17 years ago

In the case of the room 9, when entering the room, the following music tunes are queued :

song 93 // corresponds to the intro theme song 1002 // starts playing randomly the songs from the tune list number 2 (1002 - 1000)

The list of songs from tune 2 are 15, 16, 17, 18, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

Not sure what the problem is, it seems that some midi songs are "silent" (or partially) under scummvm.

So, as far as I can tell, scummvm behaves like the original interpreter from the "event/scripting point of view" (if you try several times under the original, a different song should begin to play after the song 93). Maybe a problem with the instruments mapping, volume etc.

Support for Adlib tracks has been added (previously ScummVM was using the Roland ones). No "problem" for room 9 anymore.
