Released Zeit Radio (The Zeidio) - Discussion Thread 3.4.3 Release

Aw, that's a shame. Thank you for your time. Cheers!

 

I've envisioned something for a while: functioning radios on every (or most) vanilla cars. pretty much would just add triggers to the car radios in game and if the car has none, add an aftermarket radio mounted under the dash or something. I've been wondering if you have ever thought of something like it or may do it in the future; the idea I had would be the Zeidio tech with triggers on the ingame radios to switch channels, change volume and so. Being a person who mainly plays in cockpit view with no UI this would be a dream.

 

hi, curious. would it be possible to use streamed audio from an external player/source? i'm not familiar with developing but prior art exists with bbc's subwoofer mod (WIP - [PAID BETA] Subwoofer Mods | BeamNG), which redirects audio using vb-cable. just curious about having music play entirely within beamng in this type of circumstance

 

yeah, so how does the duration value corelate to0 anything, because it aint minutes and seocnds

 

Refer to the main post for a manual tutorial.

 

I love this mod, however it seems that shuffling doesn't function? Can't find anyone else mentioning it, so I'm not entirely sure if it's user error or an actual bug. From what i understood you simply enable "Shuffle Playlist", however the playlist still plays from the top down.
--- Post updated ---

I've been fiddling with this for hours, and only when I write this it works. What.

 

I can't get the assistant to open. I have the keybind set to CTRL + ALT + O, but when I press these, nothing happens (O as in Oscar, not the number zero).

 

mine just exits the game man

 

I need help with importing files. I have made sure that the file is an MP3 file. Could you please help me?

 

Have you deleted any emojis and other special characters from the file name? I got tripped up by that before.

 

Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but when in "Shuffle" mode (with "Loop playlist" off), songs that have already been played repeatedly come up again in the cycle. Is there a way to prevent already-played songs from playing again, or is this not a feature yet?

 

I checked the thread, can you show me where it mentions vb-cable? First pages actually refer to this mod for actual audio.

@DaddelZeit You being an experienced mod dev, did you look deeper into music streaming?
I tried mapping out the modding limitations (lua, filesystem access, that's it I think) and figure out the closest we could get towards streaming.

DBUS/playerctl on Linux with a service is a hacky idea of mine, but not clean mod-suitable. Realtime filesystem stream is another ridiculous idea.

 

The game already support streaming audio from file. But you cannot do more than load a supported audio file within the game's virtual file system. All audio processing is done in C++, Lua can only dispatch and control playback.

 

for whatever reason the file can not be named "Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...)" as soon as the file name is changed it works fine, i beleve its the three "..."

 

Is there a way to add all songs with a key combo or a button? i have like 653 tracks i can't just ctrl and click them all

 

Shift click should work.

Yes, a . before the . for the file extension confuses the game. I'll look into it.

 

Why did you switch the Windows Explorer window into a built in one? CTRL+A doesn't work, neither does shift-clicking and dragging, it's just more cumbersome to use than it was before...

 

For multiple reasons:
- The API for it is a remnant from Torque3D. It was unmaintained and broken for multi file select (e.g. it didn't reset properly, and had trouble interacting with the game's virtual file system since it also showed things outside of what's actually available).
- It's in C++ so I can't fix it myself.
- It's not platform agnostic, so it wouldn't work in Linux (which is what I use).
- As far as I know it's actually completely gone in 0.38.

CTRL+A was never implemented, but shift click and drag to select works fine on my end.

 

Interesting... I'll look into it, maybe it's my fault.

update: yeah it was my fault lmao, sorry for complaining

 

I have added music, but the play button will not work.
More details. I have added the music to BeamNG/BeamNG.drive/current/mods/unpacked/zeit_radio_usermusic/art/zeitradio. It says "No song selected" and I'm not sure how to select one. The Hirochi CCF mod says I need to install the Zeit Radio, but to be fair, its right on my screen, just not working, so it is clearly installed! The "Open File Folder" button doesn't work at all. Very confusing setup, 0.5/10 Please help!
