Multiple trloop.wav issiue

I want to use a trloop for special ability 1and 2 others for special ability 2

Problem 1 - when having a trloop folder with multiple trloop sounds i get a error in font directory

Problem 2 - when having trloop00 and trloop01 both in the main folder with this config, nothing plays

{ "Test3;common",  "Test3/tracks/Songs.wav",
StylePtr<Layers<

  Red,
  TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,0>,EFFECT_USER1>,
  TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,1>,EFFECT_USER2>,
  InOutTrL<TrInstant,TrInstant>>
>>(),
},

Sounds like an issue with the sound files themselves, either set up should work fine. trloop is an effect sound just like all the others. I would use 'effects" command in Serial Monitor to decipher the issue.

Just note, Sound Loop is a toggled sound, so in your set up if you trigger one effect it will run until the next Sound Loop is triggered, it doesn’t matter which. So if one is playing you have to trigger one to stop the initial loop and then another to start the next sound, then same thing again.

All 3 sounds were separately tested named as trloop00 and
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,0>,EFFECT_USER1>
Result - all 3 worked

Trloop00 and trloop01 in the main folder with
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,0>,EFFECT_USER1>
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,1>,EFFECT_USER2>
Result - works

A trloop00 folder with trloop00 and trloop01 and a single
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,0>,EFFECT_USER1>
Result - error in font directory

It’s saying you have two files named “00”, obviously check that. Then I would say backup the files, reformat the SD and put the files back. If you changed a file from 00 to 01 it’s possible somethign corrupted on the SD.

5

most likely it, i was testing with 3 trloops and it has problems there too

6

Yea, changing filenames or moving things around on the SD itself can cause issues. I always make my edits on the computer and then do a fresh upload to the SD after reformatting. Takes away the chance of corrupted files or directories.

Are you on 7.15? I recall a bug in earlier versions on some of the controls for Special Ability 5 ~ 8 that were resolved with 7.15.

https://fredrik.hubbe.net/lightsaber/proffieos.html

9

i am on 7.15 v2.2
renaming the trloops 00 01 and 02, aswell as messing with the special abilities doesnt help

10

This sounds like a new issue on the SD, try 'effects" again in Serial Monitor.

11

forgot to mention font directory not found persits, right now the trloops are 00 01 and 02

I think it’s because you are missing hum which is required for fonts.

I would add a visual effect to each so you can see the effect trigger. It could be that the effect isn’t triggering.

That or you can view in Serial Monitor to see if there’s an error coming when trying to trigger.

Doesn’t look like User5 is triggering, I’d try a different ability?

15

ill fiddle around with tests a bit later
thanks for the help so far

16

You’re welcome. Good luck.

17

having a common folder solved missing font directory (i think)

TEST 1
trloop01
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,1>,EFFECT_USER1>
Result - works

TEST 2
alt000, alt001
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffectAlwaysX<TrInstant,EFFECT_ALT_SOUND,ModF<Sum<AltF,Int<1>>,Int<10>>>,EFFECT_USER5>
Result - works as intended

TEST 3 and 4
trloop01 trloop02
(in test 4 i swaped the trloops - trloop01 became trloop02 and vice versa)
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,1>,EFFECT_USER1>
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,2>,EFFECT_USER2>
Result - both user 1 and user 2 play trloop02

TEST 5
trloop01
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,1>,EFFECT_USER5>
Result - nothing happen

TEST 6 and 7
trloop01 trloop02 trloop03
(test 7 is same logic as test 4 - 01 became 03, 02 became 01 and 03 became 02)
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,1>,EFFECT_USER1>,
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,2>,EFFECT_USER2>,
TransitionEffectL<TrDoEffect<TrInstant,EFFECT_SOUND_LOOP,3>,EFFECT_USER5>
Result - user1 plays trloop2, user2 plays trloop03, user3 nothing happens

TEST 8
adding a trloop04 and no corresponding code in test7 had no effect

TEST 9
having a trloopNN folder with any number of trloop causes error in font directory

here is a serial from test7, i first try user5, no sound like always, then user1 and user2 follow

Some of these experiments make sense, some do not.
In particular, I’m not sure why sometimes no sound plays.

In generaly, you want to use 0 with TrDoEffect to play the first sound.
That means that even if the sounds are named trloop07.wav, trloop08.wav, and trloop09.wav, you still need to use 0, 1 and 2 when calling TrDoEffect. (0 will play trloop07.wav, 1 will play trloop08.wav and 2 will play trloop09.wav) In general, the code is written so that if you use a number that is bigger than the number of available files, it should play the last file, so I’m not sure why some TrDoEffect calls don’t play anything for you, might be a bug and if so we should figure that out and fix it.

Now, if you want to make it simple and have the file numbers line up with the numbers you give TrDoEffect, then you should use trloop00.wav, trloop01.wav, etc.

This makes sense, because trloopNN/* isn’t a supported file path.
You can use trloop/NNN.wav, or trloop/trloopNN.wav, or even trloop/NN/trloopXX.wav, but trloopNN/... is not supported.

more info: ProffieOS Documentation: Sound Font Configuration
(If you actually want to use that last one, make sure to read this page: ProffieOS Documentation: Sub-sub sounds)

I will give up on having more than 1 trloop and will just use the track player instead, not sure why proffie behaves this way, hopefully someone else figures it out.

Thanks for all the help to both of you

I recommend adding some kind of visual effect to this transition so you can confirm it triggered. It seems like USER5 is the common thread so giving it a visual cue will confirm you’re doing the control to trigger.

Also type ‘version’ in Serial Monitor and let’s get a look at the output. This really feels like an older OS7 bug so let’s confirm you’re on the latest version.
