Embric of Wulfhammer's Castle: Sound effect repeating incorrectly [MIDI loop point]

[Siltala]

This game has a scene in which the Duchess goes to sleep. It is accompanied by a short sound effect, which in RPG_RT plays only once. In EasyRPG, however, the sound effect incorrectly constantly repeats itself.

• Game download: https://aeresland.net/EmbricDELUXE_2.2.2.7z
• Savegame demonstrating the problem: https://www.heavylobster.com/files/Save02.lsd

To reproduce, load the save game and talk to Alice (immediately in front of the Duchess in the savegame)

Edit: added MIDI loop test case and online test in Emscripten (with FMMIDI).

At a first glance, we do it right here. The music is set to item.mid and nowhere stopped.
For the devs: Map0082, EV0011 (Alice):

Edit: However, this midi has a loop point at the end of the file and so RPG_RT seems to play silence.

Okay, this midi has a loop point at the end of the file and so RPG_RT seems to play silence.

Is the midi loop set with a "111" MIDI event controller change?

Event details:

The event time corresponds to the loop start place when the song ends.
0xB0 This is the event numeric ID (176 in decimal) meaning channel 1 Control mode change (aka controller change)
0x6F (111 in decimal), Undefined in standard control table (RPG Maker 2000/2003/XP specific)
0x00 The third event byte looks unused for this controller.

RTP's Battle3.mid example: 98 00 (delta time PPQ, place to restart) B0 6F 00 (controller 111)

[carstene1ns]

Yep.

Added an isolated test case and emscripten link in the OP post.

Moving to 0.6.3 because of massive Midi work right now :).

This is partially fixed now (FmMidi only).

4 years and 5 months. One of the longest standing issues 🎉
