[Solved]Partial playback in the Music Room

[Nazon]

I am trying to create a song progress bar in the game's Music room, but it seems that Music room commands like:

Code: Select all

mr.Play(track_file)

don't support partial playback ajustments:

Code: Select all

"<from 5 to 15.5>waves.opus"

And this code is unusable:

Code: Select all

mr.Play("<from 5 to 15.5>" + track_file)

So is there any way to use partial playback for the music room tracks?

does this work?

Code: Select all

python:
  renpy.music.play ("<from 5 to 15.5>"+track_file)

for a progress bar, would it work to just use renpy.music.get_pos() ?

Thank you. Yes, it's working.
I also could use the screen action:

Code: Select all

Play("music", "<from 10>" + track_file)

I just wanted to check is there any way to do the same, using only MusicRoom instance commands.
It seems impossible though.

Was this issue actually solved like the title says? I'm interested in knowing the solution if so!

Well, as it seems to be an engine limitation somehow, I came up with the idea of the using seekbar, that remembers position on the music track automatically.

Code: Select all

screen seek_bar:
    bar:
        value AudioPositionValue('music')
        xpos x_p ypos y_p

And then I just use a Pause function for the Play/Pause button.　Code for the changing of the button face from the Play picture to the Pause picture is kinda wacky, but it works.

Code: Select all

screen play_stop_button: #(1040, 100)
    python:
        
        play_state_on = soundmode_play_on
        play_state_off = soundmode_play_off
        
        if (playing == False):
            play_state_on = soundmode_play_on
            play_state_off = soundmode_play_off
            
            
        else:
            play_state_on = soundmode_pause_on
            play_state_off = soundmode_pause_off
        
        
    imagebutton idle play_state_off hover play_state_on xcenter xbut ycenter ybut action [PauseAudio("music", value="toggle"), ToggleVariable("playing", True, False) ]
