Below is the class I am trying to use to play music in my 2d game. It was taken from examples and pieced together into a seperate class as this is my first attempt at adding sound to a game. I included the header and .cpp file, I can get it to work when I just hardcode in what file to play, what I am looking to do is be able to send a variable to the function and play that one. I have tried to convert the string to a WCHAR pointer and send it and it still wont work. Maybe someone who is good with directmusic would see the problem.

#pragma once

#define INITGUID
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <dmusicc.h>
#include <dmusici.h>

using namespace std;

class DMusic
{
public:
	DMusic()
	{
	    IDirectMusicLoader8*      g_pLoader = NULL;
	    IDirectMusicPerformance8* g_pPerformance = NULL;
	    IDirectMusicSegment8*     g_pSegment = NULL;
	}
	int DMusic::DMusic_Repeat(WCHAR* name);
	int DMusic::Close();
private:
	IDirectMusicLoader8*      g_pLoader;
	IDirectMusicPerformance8* g_pPerformance;
	IDirectMusicSegment8*     g_pSegment;
};

And here is the actual code, like I said, I can get it to work if I hard code in the file I want to play perfect, but cannot get it to accept a variable. Also if you know a better way please point it out, as I said, this is my first time using directmusic and am taking this from a straight program and trying to develop my own class.

   
#include "DMusic.h"

int DMusic::DMusic_Repeat(WCHAR* filename)
{
    // Initialize COM    

	CoInitialize(NULL);        

	// Create loader object    

	CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DirectMusicLoader, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC,                       
					 IID_IDirectMusicLoader8, (void**)&g_pLoader );    

	// Create performance object    

	CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DirectMusicPerformance, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC,                       
					 IID_IDirectMusicPerformance8, (void**)&g_pPerformance );    

	// Initialize the performance with the standard audio path.    

	// This initializes both DirectMusic and DirectSound and     

	// sets up the synthesizer.     


	g_pPerformance->InitAudio( NULL, NULL, NULL,                                
							  DMUS_APATH_SHARED_STEREOPLUSREVERB, 64,                               
							  DMUS_AUDIOF_ALL, NULL );    
	
	CHAR strPath[512];    

	if( GetWindowsDirectory( strPath, MAX_PATH+1 ) == 0 )        
		return 0;    

	strcat( strPath, "\\media" );    
	// Tell DirectMusic where the default search path is    

	WCHAR wstrSearchPath[MAX_PATH+1];    
	MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, strPath, -1,                          
						wstrSearchPath, MAX_PATH );    

	wstrSearchPath[MAX_PATH] = 0;	
	g_pLoader->SetSearchDirectory( GUID_DirectMusicAllTypes, 	                               
								  wstrSearchPath, FALSE );        

	
	WCHAR wstrFileName[50] = filename;
	//WCHAR wstrFileName[MAX_PATH] = L"ding.wav";   	


	if( FAILED( g_pLoader->LoadObjectFromFile( CLSID_DirectMusicSegment,                                               
												IID_IDirectMusicSegment8,
												wstrFileName,
												(LPVOID*) &g_pSegment ) ) )    
	{        
		MessageBox( NULL, "Media not found, sample will now quit",
					"DirectMusic Tutorial", MB_OK );        
	
	g_pPerformance->CloseDown();        
	g_pLoader->Release();         
	g_pPerformance->Release();        
	
	CoUninitialize();        
	return 0;    
}

Thanks again for anyones help, sorry for the spacing issues, I just copied and pasted it out of .net Plex [edited by - plexmark on June 7, 2004 3:49:12 PM]

I don''t understand what you''re trying to do. Play a variable? Maybe you mean you want to play 1 note?

I think he wants to pass the filename as a string to the function, instead of hardcoding the filename in the program...

Sorry for the confusion, yes I would like to pass a filename instead of hardcoding it. I tried to convert it to unicode as I believe that is what it has to be in to work, but still cannot get it to accept it.

Thanks,
Plex

Maybe you have to put the fullpath or at least start with "\" ("\\" in C++).

Try the following.

First off, I recommend a small change to your code. I would replace:

WCHAR wstrFileName[50] = filename;

//WCHAR wstrFileName[MAX_PATH] = L"ding.wav";
if( FAILED( g_pLoader->LoadObjectFromFile(CLSID_DirectMusicSegment,IID_IDirectMusicSegment8,wstrFileName,LPVOID*)&g_pSegment)))

with the following:

//WCHAR wstrFileName[50] = filename;
//WCHAR wstrFileName[MAX_PATH] = L"ding.wav";

if( FAILED( g_pLoader->LoadObjectFromFile(CLSID_DirectMusicSegment,IID_IDirectMusicSegment8,filename,LPVOID*)&g_pSegment)))

The only difference here is the LoadObjectFromFile function. Instead of passing "wstrFileName" pass "filename".

Then make a call to your function like this:
DMusic->DMusic_Repeat(L"ding.wav");

Thanks for the help, and to help people searching as it has helped me so much, I will post the code that works.

It is a seperate class to play .wav files in your game, this one is set to repeat indef but can be easily changed for single tons as well.

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to load sound into memory if I have a small sound that gets played alot to play it faster without a delay or overhead on the cpu.

I am working on that now.

Here is the class code:


#pragma once

#define INITGUID
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <dmusicc.h>
#include <dmusici.h>

using namespace std;

class DMusic
{
public:
	DMusic()
	{
		IDirectMusicLoader8*      g_pLoader = NULL;
		IDirectMusicPerformance8* g_pPerformance = NULL;
		IDirectMusicSegment8*     g_pSegment = NULL;
	}
	int DMusic::DMusic_Repeat(WCHAR* name);
	int DMusic::Close();
private:
	IDirectMusicLoader8*      g_pLoader;
	IDirectMusicPerformance8* g_pPerformance;
	IDirectMusicSegment8*     g_pSegment;
};

and...



int DMusic::DMusic_Repeat(WCHAR* filename)
{
    // Initialize COM    

	CoInitialize(NULL);        

	// Create loader object    

	CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DirectMusicLoader, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC,                       
					 IID_IDirectMusicLoader8, (void**)&g_pLoader );    

	// Create performance object    

	CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DirectMusicPerformance, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC,                       
					 IID_IDirectMusicPerformance8, (void**)&g_pPerformance );    

	// Initialize the performance with the standard audio path.    

	// This initializes both DirectMusic and DirectSound and     

	// sets up the synthesizer.     


	g_pPerformance->InitAudio( NULL, NULL, NULL,                                
							  DMUS_APATH_SHARED_STEREOPLUSREVERB, 64,                               
							  DMUS_AUDIOF_ALL, NULL );    
	
	CHAR strPath[512];    

	if( GetWindowsDirectory( strPath, MAX_PATH+1 ) == 0 )        
		return 0;    

	strcat( strPath, "\\media" );    
	// Tell DirectMusic where the default search path is    

	WCHAR wstrSearchPath[MAX_PATH+1];    
	MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, strPath, -1,                          
						wstrSearchPath, MAX_PATH );    

	wstrSearchPath[MAX_PATH] = 0;	
	g_pLoader->SetSearchDirectory( GUID_DirectMusicAllTypes, 	                               
								  wstrSearchPath, FALSE );        

	
	if( FAILED( g_pLoader->LoadObjectFromFile( CLSID_DirectMusicSegment,                                               
												IID_IDirectMusicSegment8,
												filename,
												(LPVOID*) &g_pSegment ) ) )    
	{        
		MessageBox( NULL, "Media not found, sample will now quit",
					"DirectMusic Tutorial", MB_OK );        
	
	g_pPerformance->CloseDown();        
	g_pLoader->Release();         
	g_pPerformance->Release();        
	
	CoUninitialize();        
	return 0;    
}    

// Download the segment''s instruments to the synthesizer    

g_pSegment->Download( g_pPerformance );    
// Play segment on the default audio path  


g_pSegment->SetLoopPoints(0, 0);
g_pSegment->SetRepeats(-1);

g_pPerformance->PlaySegmentEx( g_pSegment, NULL, NULL, 0,
								  0, NULL, NULL, NULL ); 

return 0;
}

and the call to the function is as follows....



DMusic music;

music.DMusic_Repeat(L"followme.wav");

Thanks for the help Merlin
