In metrovania games, using branchs,when I configure musicoverlap 1 in levels.txt, setting the song's address in the first stage, the following ones continue to play that song (as long as I don't set music on them). OK. The problem is when the load game, the music is not played. What to do? Use nosave in all stages except the first?

I believe this is a similar question you are asking for.

Continuous music
Is there any way of have the music from one level continue into the next one?

Thanks for replay. I tried the script, but music does not playI believe this is a similar question you are asking for.

@Kratus has that music script setup in his latest SOR2X mod which you listen to in the next stage (e.g. stage 1-2) with the previous music playing from the beginning (stage 1-1). The next stage has no music playing, but with music in script. You go back to Load Game to where you left off and listen to the previous music that was playing from the beginning. He set it up the stages with branch which is quite better.
This code part is from his SOR2X and it's already declared/#imported from his updated.c. Take a look at stage 3 from SOR2 route.

@machokI think I also need this but seeing the script is very long seems like it will be complicated
is there another, simpler way?
The size gives the impression of being complicated but indeed it's not too much. Basically this script runs in the level.c when any level starts and if the variable
musicStopped is not NULL(), the music will be replayed (usually if you go through a level select or load game) otherwise the script will be ignored and the current music will continue.You could apply it only in levels where the music will not be interrupted, the others can use the normal music command in the level file.

@Kratus - if i am not mistaken, then this long script allows you to detect the last music that was playing before quiting the game or losing all you lives and at least allow it to continue on the same tune it was using (not from the same spot, but at least its the same soundtrack)
can this be modified to allow for a different file in case of reload?
example , long "ice level.ogg" track plays , but if player loses or quits , at the time of reload the level loads "ice level part 2.ogg"

My problems is since I use branch (in Levels.TXT) all my music always repeats from the beginning as I enter each new stage
so I think I need to write all my levels into the script and this is what makes it seem complicated. If this is the only way then I need carefully learn the script first to avoid mistakes and error, I understand the script looks like it's just a repetition but I have to be conscientious

@Kratus Here's my main problem when I want to use only just default. It's separated into 2 music folders. I'm trying to put it to one as a test. I'll put 3 later. (As of now, it's empty in the green folder.)
Also, I was able to make the music script without a crash, but still, no music is playing.
I just found where musicReplay is. How can I change the custom folder directory into a general music folder directory?

I didn't understand your question, are you trying to use the "musics" root folder as a playlist option? Don't forget that my music scripts are connected to the game settings menu in order to change the style, you will need a menu in case you are trying to replicate the same feature.
If I understand your question correctly, just change the path to "data/music/" instead of only "Musics/".

@maxman I'm a bit confused, why the
musicPlaying() is inside the update.c? And in the SORX this is a global variable name, not a function.
According to the codes you posted, this is not how the original script works. To help you better I suggest defining more clearly what result you want to achieve and what problem you are having, depending on your goal we could develop a custom solution specifically for your problem without carrying the entire SORX code, some parts may not be necessary for your game.

I created
I just changed the function name from musicPlaying to goStartDaMusic in update.c, just to avoid the name confusion (function name and varname).
BTW what's that musicPlay() function like?
I'm having trouble with defining certain music to play in each level with musicoverlap 1 used in levels.txt. Even though I copied the exact scripts and modified them for my own, I can't get the music playing. I don't know how to make the right setup for it, so I'm stuck/lost.
I made changes this time, but still, no music is active. I don't have to share the full ones here, partial ones for now.
update.c:
musicplay.c:
musicmisc.c (musicReplay() is the only function name I have in this file):
levels.txt:
Whether I use else or not in musicmisc.c, it doesn't crash. Yet, the music isn't playing.
musicPlaying() function name in update.c thinking it could call out the function from my own, but I didn't realize/notice there's a globalvar name called "musicPlaying" in the other file. I didn't take a look at it the first time I started to make it work. It was meant to be a function name, but I didn't know that same name exists as a varname.I just changed the function name from musicPlaying to goStartDaMusic in update.c, just to avoid the name confusion (function name and varname).
BTW what's that musicPlay() function like?
OK. What I want to achieve is to have the music play straight from the music folder itself only instead of its sub-folders (red and blue folders). I will bother the sub-folders later. I just want to try out one music playlist from the music folder for now. In levels, musicoverlap 1 is set, which I forgot to input. (Mine is similar to mersox's goal.) The two test levels I have don't have music. For example, in stage 1-1, I want the music to start. In stage 1-2, that music will have to continue playing from stage 1-1. Then, when you quit game and go to load game to return to where you left off, you want the same music to play in the beginning of stage 1-2.
I'm having trouble with defining certain music to play in each level with musicoverlap 1 used in levels.txt. Even though I copied the exact scripts and modified them for my own, I can't get the music playing. I don't know how to make the right setup for it, so I'm stuck/lost.
I made changes this time, but still, no music is active. I don't have to share the full ones here, partial ones for now.

@maxman
Let's make it work in parts. First, I will apply the scripted music code in a fresh BOR mod to simplify it, and after the music plays normally we can go to the next step, which is the replay.
As soon as I finish the BOR, I will post here for you.
@maxman Ok, here's the first step, playing musics with the script. Try to apply it in your game and when it works fine we can go to the next step, replaying musics.

Just tried it. At least it's okay. I like how we just got it started with music playing in script. However, after testing it, this is like the default BOR music setup, which you play music in the beginning and another music exists in the next stage (which I excluded the level 2 part because a certain music plays in level 2, which is nice by the way). You go back to Load Game and no music is playing. What I want is to play music like in your SOR2X and other commercial games with that kind.
Here's what I tried.
It's not bad at all, but the music script setup for it needs to be changed like your SOR2X for playing previous music I use different stages in the levels. Thank you for your time, @Kratus. Looking forward to your new modified update, so we can go to the next step.

Like I said, we must go step by step and I haven't reached the part where the music continues yet. We can't add advanced features once even the basics are not working, in which the music does not play like you reported in previous posts.
Yeah, I know it. First, confirm if the music is playing normally on the same way as the default BOR and then we can continue to the next step.

My apologies, sir. You are right. We are in a step-by-step process. Like I said, it's a very good start. The music is working well as it is. I think we can go to the next step, now that I got it started. I'm not gonna worry about the final outcome of it until we reach there.
Here goes the second step, music replaying.
First, note at the first seconds of the video, you will see the music replaying after I enter/quit the sound menu, this is to apply the new volume in case you change it, scripted musics needs this task.
Second, look how the music continues between levels 3 and 4 using the
Levels.txt
Level file
Level.c
Updated.c
Musics.c

Second, look how the music continues between levels 3 and 4 using the
musicoverlap 1 at the levels.txt. So, if I quit and then load the level 4 again, the music will be replayed normally by the script. Don't forget to remove all the native music/bossmusic functions in your levels otherwise it can interfere in the scripted musics.Levels.txt

I came to realize I missed and didn't bother using a few important ones including updated.c and musicPlay(). Well, it's all good. I got it working.
