Intro music track seamlessly switching to a loop track

[duanemoody]

Someone mentioned a VN that did this, and we're looking at a few themes we'd like to consider using this on.

Will it blend?

Erm, what are you asking? How to do it?

The Only way I could Think of doing that is using the 'queue' statement if you want do that.

Code: Select all

label start:

    play music 'into.ogg'
    queue music 'loopsong.ogg'

    return

You would play your intro and once it is done it will play the next track you have under the 'queue' statement. Then it will loop that piece instead.

Code: Select all

    play music 'into.ogg'
    queue music 'loopsong.ogg'

Hmm... I'm currently trying exactly this, but when I do, there's a noticeable break in the music (about 0.1 of a second I'd say) between the first track and the second track. Does this happen for anyone else, and if so, is there a way to fix it? I'm using .mp3, if that's relevant (I'm not that well versed with music file formats and their differences).

Did you check to see if you loop or intro song file has any silence in the beginning of them or end of them that you don't want? Cause it works seamlessly on mine with the music I mixed.

I don't think so - the music tracks transition seamlessly in Winamp and iTunes.

Hmm, so it works for you? Maybe I'll try again with .ogg songs (or just different songs) and see what happens.
