Which exact library do you mean, I suppose you are talking of the FreeImage image library.Nicholas wrote:I just noticed both of you had email addresses with a non-US country code TLD. The bug in the library had to do with running on systems with locales set to something other than "en.US".
How to use command line options
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).
If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

Nope, Boost actually. I was using 1.35. As of 1.36 they fixed a bug in boost::wpath that caused problems (sometimes?) when setting the locale.
Now that you made me recall even more details, I'm less hopeful all of a sudden. I think I do recall the description saying it was a Mac-only thing.
We'll see in the next preview.

I just tried the new --windowed option and it works nicely.Nicholas wrote:Like I said, I am less hopeful. But, there is still a chance it might be fixed. Please try again in r665. Thanks!
It would be also useful to have somewhere a button to see the high score list. e.g. if you use --on-song-end RestartSong for a few times, you might want to see the high scores list at some point, without having to restart Synthesia, but restarting it is also not a big deal.
I like the new --windowed mode, will it always have a constant size, or can we make the windows even smaller in future?
I was already thinking of adding a --windowed=900x700 style of notation to make it more flexible.
I think that will make it in at the same time that "Windowed Mode and Resolution Picker" are implemented.
There are still some resolution assumptions buried down in the code. Most of the new UI work that went into 0.7.0 is good, but the conversion isn't 100% yet. At some point, live resizing of the window should be possible.

Great news, it does not hurry at all, until then we can play sequentially, I have anyway nobody else here who is interested in Synthesia.Nicholas wrote:I was already thinking of adding a --windowed=900x700 style of notation to make it more flexible.

Can someone please make a screenshot of the dialogbox that appears by "synthesia --help" because my laptop is I guess a bit too much widescreen so I can't read it.
Code: Select all
usage: Synthesia.exe [options] [filename]
(If filename contains spaces, it should be wrapped in quotes.)
Options:
--help Shows this help message
--version Output the version number
--speed arg Percentage speed [0-400]
--visible-duration arg Milliseconds visible on screen [250-10000]
--keyboard-zoom arg All, Song, YouPlay, or Keyboard
--play-mode arg Rhythm or Practice (requires Learning Pack)
--sheet-mode arg Scrolling or PageFlip (requires Learning Pack)
--copy-score Copies the most recent score to the system clipboard.
--dont-save Prevents track settings from being saved this run.
Useful with channel mode 'All'.
--on-startup arg What screen should show when Synthesia starts?
Title, SongLibrary, TrackSettings, PlaySettings, or
Play.
Title is default if no file specified. TrackSettings
is default otherwise. Anything past SongLibrary
requires a file argument.
--on-song-end arg What should happen when the song is over?
RestartSong, Quit, or ShowScoresThenQuit.
--channel-mode arg Examples:
Ch1=YouPlay
Ch3=PlayedAutomatically,ShowSheet
All=PlayedButHidden
In general you can have up to both a track mode and
sheet mode separated by a comma:
ChX=Mode
ChX=Mode,ShowSheet
ChX=Mode,NoSheet
Channel is between 1 and 16 (or All).
Modes are YouPlay, YouPlayMuted, PlayedAutomatically,
PlayedButHidden, DisplayOnly, or NotPlayed.
You can specify more than one. Modes will be set in
the order they're received. So, you can use All and
follow it with individual channels to override the
first setting. (ShowSheet requires the Learning
Pack.)
--loop-start arg Starts all songs with the start of the loop already
set. (This implies using --loop-end.) Value is one
character for the unit followed immediately by an
integer value. Examples:
m3 will start at the 3rd measure.
b2 will start at the 2nd stored bookmark.
t5000 will start 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds) in.
--loop-end arg Starts all songs with the end of the loop already set.
(If you don't use --loop-start, the loop will run
from the beginning of the song to this point.) Value
is defined the same as --loop-start.
--bookmark-count Quits immediately with the number of bookmarks in the
specified file returned as the status code.

@ TonE
Thanks, man!

The way he did that was Ctrl-V after seeing the --help box. It copies the whole thing to the clipboard.
That method has been superseded. Use the config tool to choose any window size. It's less of a hack now.Lemo wrote:Didn't work for me :\TonE wrote:I just tried the new --windowed option and it works nicely.
Yeah, I know about the config tool.
Actually I would like to set up a right-click behaviour to preview a midi file in a small window, while I'm playing in fullscreen the rest of the time.
That would do part of the trick, if you don't plan to have a compact player someday.
(btw that player could be launched as a command line mode "--player", so you'd just have a single executable, and only layout code switches)

Eeeah, of course.Nicholas wrote:The way he did that was Ctrl-V after seeing the --help box. It copies the whole thing to the clipboard.
But using the config tool, can we start also twice Synthesia.exe on the same machine using different sizes for each of them? If we would have command line sizing feature as you wrote above "--windowed=900x700" this would be easily possible. Anyway nobody will use it in this scenario, as you would need a soundcard with two different audio outputs, and two headphones for each player, so they hear only what they are playing. It would be like a racing scenario and the winner can stay on the machine and a new opponent comes or some other tournament management systems. I still like the idea of having two players playing the same song simultaneously, so Synthesia matches get a feel of a soccer match, leagues, champions leagues...
In a party scenario, playing the matches in sequence one by one would be more fun probably, the looser of each match has to drink one more tequila, getting more and more red.
Sorry that wasn't quite explicit, I need a few english lessons maybe :pLemo wrote:while I'm playing in fullscreen the rest of the time.
I don't want to launch two instances of synthesia at the same time, but just to be able to switch to window mode for previews thanks to command line, while the config stays in fullscreen for the moments I'll just play regularly.
Your multiplayer thing is interesting still =)

--copy-score: The number maybe be quite out of context on its own,
how about some additional details?
maybe some way to configure the output for example :
Value | Grade | Percent | Rank | Notes| Errors
--copy-score VGPRNE -> 3568568 A+++ 98 3 563 5
--copy-score RGV -> 3 A+++ 3568568
--copy-score V -> 3568568

Okay I get it now.
You're using --play-mode Practice in your Arcade mode and you're retrieving all the details,
but in the --play-mode Rhythm I was using, Synthesia seems to retrieve the score (3568568) only :/

Yes, only in Practice mode, but I do not know why Nicholas designed it in this way? Probably it would require much more work to collect all the required information, there would be not only "simple" note errors, but missed notes, wrong notes, but holding score and extra time would be essentially the same.Lemo wrote:but in the --play-mode Rhythm I was using, Synthesia seems to retrieve the score (3568568) only :/
In my case, usually after practicing enough in Practice mode, in Rhythm mode it is only about reaching 100% , well only for simple midi files.

Hi TonE:
I wonder if we can use the command line to use the metronome
Thanks
