Hi everyone,
I'm Tomas, Directmusic programmer of a small game development group and reader
of this mailing list for quite some time now.
I've noticed that there's a lot of smart people around here, so I hope someone
can help me with a Directmusic problem that I'm having :-).
The background: I must find a way to load Directmusic-objects without using the
specific file functions in IDirectMusicLoader8 (e.g LoadObjectFromFile,
SetSearchDirectory etc). The reason for this is that the Directmusic module in
our system will not have access to any files, but instead will be given a
pointer to the data that I probably will
be able to load using IDirectMusicLoader8::GetObject. I'm pretty sure that I've
managed to load a segment consisting of a number of wavetracks by first using
IDirectMusicLoader8::SetObject on the wave-files referred to by the script, and
then loading the Segment like usual.
Now, the problem is: This does not seem to work too well with scripts (or
containers in general, I suspect). The only way I've managed to load a script
is by either embedding all references in the script or by placing all referred
files in the same directory and then pointing IDirectMusicLoader8::
SetSearchDirectory to that directory. But, as I said before, the latter one
does not meet our requirements (and obviously, the first one is very
inefficient if I want to use the same file in a lot of scripts). So, I need to
be able to load scripts by using IDirectMusicLoader8::SetObject or by some
other solution that lets me give the loader a pointer to the data.
I thought that you could simply use IDirectMusicLoader8::SetObject on
all the objects that are referred to by the script, and then simply load the
script, just as with segments. Is this not possible? Here's an excerpt from the
current, flawed solution:
<CODE>
int main()
{
//*snip*
/*
First run SetObject on all files that the script refers to.
The LoaderSetObject simply runs SetObject on the file passed
to it.
*/
hr = LoaderSetObject(g_pLoader, CLSID_DirectMusicAudioPathConfig,
L"Audiopath_AllCh", L"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Tomas\\My
Documents\\DMUSProducer\\Test1\\RuntimeFiles\\Audiopath_AllCh.aud");
hr = LoaderSetObject(g_pLoader, CLSID_DirectSoundWave, L"Riff_Bass-01",
L"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Tomas\\My
Documents\\DMUSProducer\\Test1\\RuntimeFiles\\Riff_Bass-01.wav");
/*
... *snip* LoaderSetObject of all other referred files is omitted from
this
code listing...
*/
WCHAR wcharFilename[] = L"C:\\Runtimefiles\\TestScript1.spt";
WCHAR wcharRoutine[] = L"PlaySegment";
// ... Then load & play the script.
hr = PlayScript(g_pLoader, g_pPerformance, pScript, wcharFilename,
wcharRoutine);
//*snip*
} //End main
/*
LoaderSetObject:

when loading a script.
pLoader: The Directmusic loader
guidClass: The class id of the object to give to SetObject.
wcharObjName: The internal name of the object to set [optional]
wcharFilepath: The path+filename to the object that is going to be set.
*/
HRESULT LoaderSetObject(IDirectMusicLoader8* &pLoader, GUID guidClass,
WCHAR* wcharObjName, WCHAR* wcharFilepath)
{
DMUS_OBJECTDESC objDesc;
HRESULT hr;
ZeroMemory(&objDesc,sizeof(objDesc));
objDesc.dwSize = sizeof(objDesc);
objDesc.guidClass = guidClass;
wcscpy(objDesc.wszFileName, wcharFilepath);
objDesc.dwValidData = DMUS_OBJ_FULLPATH | DMUS_OBJ_CLASS;
if (wcharObjName)
{
wcsncpy(objDesc.wszName, wcharObjName, sizeof(objDesc.wszName) -
1);
objDesc.wszName[sizeof(objDesc.wszName) - 1] = 0;
objDesc.dwValidData |= DMUS_OBJ_NAME;
}
hr = pLoader->SetObject(&objDesc);
return hr;
}

HRESULT PlayScript(IDirectMusicLoader8* &pLoader,
IDirectMusicPerformance8* &pPerformance,
IDirectMusicScript8* &pScript,
WCHAR* wcharFilename,
WCHAR* wcharRoutine)
{
HRESULT hr;
DMUS_SCRIPT_ERRORINFO errInfo;
DMUS_OBJECTDESC objDesc;
try
{
if (!pLoader || !pPerformance)
return E_INVALIDARG;
ZeroMemory(&objDesc,sizeof(objDesc));
objDesc.dwSize = sizeof(DMUS_OBJECTDESC);
objDesc.guidClass = CLSID_DirectMusicScript;
wcscpy(objDesc.wszFileName, wcharFilename);
objDesc.dwValidData = DMUS_OBJ_FULLPATH | DMUS_OBJ_CLASS;
//!!! ERROR PRINTOUT FROM DIRECTX DEBUG WHEN DOING THIS GETOBJECT !!!
hr = pLoader->GetObject(&objDesc, IID_IDirectMusicScript, (LPVOID *)
&pScript);
if (FAILED (hr = pScript->Init(pPerformance, &errInfo)))
{
pScript->Release();
return E_FAIL;
}

</CODE>
You may wonder why I load files in this code example when I told you that I
would not use files. That's because I thought that it would be
easy to just replace the file references with memory references later on, since
I use SetObject.
Now, what happens is that when reaching the row...
"hr = pLoader->GetObject(&objDesc, IID_IDirectMusicScript, (LPVOID *)
&pScript);"
... in the PlayScript-method above, I get the following debug printout from
direct-x in my output window in Visual Studio and the &pScript is still
unallocated:
<ERROR MESSAGE>

</ERROR MESSAGE>
Basically, none of files that the script refers to can be loaded. The files
cannot be found it seems, since they are found if I were to point out their
directory using IDirectMusicLoader8::SetSearchDirectory (but since I won't be
able to rely on files later on, that's a no-no).
I don't understand why the loader cannot find the files. If I point out them
using the SetObject, the loader should be able to load them when loading the
script, right?
FYI, in Producer, the script is set to load all references and download all
segments when it's loaded.
I would be very grateful if somebody out there with some experience could help
me with this problem. It makes no sense to me :-(.
Best regards,
Tomas Elf
