Doom3world

Anyone thought of adding a new gui to select songs/playlist from winamp?

That could be a cool gui to stick on a dukebox model in game espically if you could get winamp to play through speakers in the game world.

Stage 1 - Done. ( It worked !!!!!! )
Added a new command: winamp
take args of: play, stop, next, prev, pause

Stage 2 - Done ( )
Made a gui with buttons to run new command with args.
Had to add code to player.cpp so I run my new console command from a gui.
Also created a test map, used flatmonitor model with my gui on and it worked perfectly.

Stage 3
Add commands for volume + forword/rewind in song.
Find out how to retrieve current song title etc then display that to the gui.

This is what my test map with basic gui looks like.

Not pretty, but it does work.

I hope to be able to at least show the name of the current song on the gui and add a volume slider.

That's a very nifty gadget! Would it be possible to spawn the Jukebox at the players location? Maybe have a key bound to a script that drops a Jukebox and on the interface is a "Self-Destruct" button that makes it explode like a barrel(for "housekeeping"...)

That's a neat idea, I'll look into that.
I'm not a modeller and it would really need a proper model for a jukebox. ( and a better designed gui!! )

Having real trouble at the moment trying to work out how to get the name etc of the currently playing track. It must be possible because foxytunes does it ( extension for firefox http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=219 ).

Maybe I can turn the PDA into an mp3 player!!

Still haven't found how Foxytunes gets the current track name from winamp, all the docs say only a plugin can do those types of calls, but Foxtunes is a firefox plugin not a winamp plugin.

maybe this could help you:

Thanks for the link.

I was really hoping this was going to be some clever .NET / Web services method to query Winamp.

It turns out this guy is just querying the window title

Simple, but it works. At least it gives me the artist and current song title. Unfortunately it's not in an ideal format.

2. Savatage - Watching You Fall - Winamp

2. = playlist trake no
Savatage = artist
Watching you fall = title
- Winamp = needs to the striped.

I'm going to go with this method for now.

I'm finished with this mod (for now at least)

It's basically working. It could be improved I think ( volume slider doesn't set the new volume until you move the mouse of the slider )

wa_next.tga
wa_pause.tga
wa_play.tga
wa_prev.tga
wa_titlebar.tga
wa_volbar.tga


New cvars:
wa_title - set by getinfo - title of winamp window
ie it's the current track name.
wa_volume - set by setvol & setvol2, 0-255 value set to winamp


New console commands:
winamp [play/playlist/pause/stop/next/prev/setvol 0-255]
NOTE: playlist means restart current playlist from beginning. The rest of the commands should be obvious


New commands available to guis scripts.
eg:
onAction {
set "cmd" "winamp_play";
}

winamp_play = plays current track
winamp_playlist = restart current playlist from beginning.
winamp_pause = guess!
winamp_stop = guess!
winamp_next = guess!
winamp_prev = guess!
winamp_getinfo = sets wa_title cvar
winamp_setvol2 = sends current wa_volume cvar to winamp

This is wicked! For the mod I'm working on I had a custom PDA made like the MP3 PDA Player mod but since it read .ogg files from pak's it wasn't easy to change the playlist. Would you mind if I built a new GUI like the scoreboard so you can toggle the player?

No problem if people want to include this mod with theirs.
Just include my readme.txt

Then people know and can create their own binds to control winamp from
their keyboards. too.

The source code is included in the .zip

very nice dante!

Just incase anyone is adding this to their mods...

I'm updateding it to work with the new SDK release and allowing for it to build on Linux ( obviously won't work but should compile and run okay ).

I hope to release the new version in couple of hours:

Changes:
My functions have all been moved to a new source file and the calls to my functions are docuemented so adding this to another mod should be alot easier and cleaner.

Split song info into 3 cvarrs now, wa_listno, wa_title1, wa_title2

New version is uploaded:

Enjoy.

Mod authors are free to add this mod to their own, I just ask that you include my readme.txt

If possible some one could use the source to make a XMMS version for the linux crowd. Actually, if I get a chance durring the winter break, I might just start on it.

I'm sorry for aking a stupid question.
How to use that? (I found no song in the list.)

The idea is you all your fav songs to the winamp playlist ( or just a pick a playlist you've already created ) BEFORE running Doom3.
Then from within D3 using my gui in a map( or your own gui if you want to make one ) or using the console commands ( bind to keys if you like ) you can play, stop , skip track forwards or backwards, pause and set the volumn.

WOW, what a wonderful feature
I like it very much!
Is it possible to START Winamp from within DOOM if its not running already? Maybe with a small list of possible paths for the exe?

Not in the current version but would be fairly simple to add.

Just need to read this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Winamp

something like:
unsigned char *szRegVal = (unsigned char *)malloc(MAXPASSBUFLEN);
HKEY hKey = ( HKEY )malloc( sizeof(HKEY) );

lnResult = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Winamp",0, KEY_READ, &hKey);

DWORD dwSize = MAXPASSBUFLEN; // size of buffer
DWORD dwType; // ignored (it should be REG_SZ upon return)

lnResult = RegQueryValueEx(hKey,
NULL,
0,
&dwType,
szRegVal,
&dwSize);

Then:
sprintf(args[0],"%s/winamp.exe",szRegVal);
_spawnvp( _P_NOWAIT, args[0], args );


If I get time I'll give it a go.

Surprised I missed this. Glad you mentioned it in the D3CDIT forum.

Anyone had any luck piping this through D3's sound system instead of it playing normally? Is this even possible without writing a corresponding Winamp plugin?

Also, has anyone made an add-on to the stock PDA to use this yet? I'd imagine it would work just like playing the audio logs, and it would continue playing with the audio graphic going, and what not...

Just a list of ideas, I don't expect anyone to make these happen, just suggestions for reference if anyone decides to mod this mod.

• Find a way to pipe the sound through the game's sound system. (Possibly need a Winamp plugin for this to work?).
• Add a new mp3 player tab to the existing PDA.
• Rig the system so that the music playing is turned down when scripted single player events trigger a radio transmission, so you can hear it. (Not sure if this is possible without making additions throughout the game, which would make this idea impractical).
