Can I spam my soundcloud profile? I am young guys that compose music just for hobby but if you ear somethings interesting I will glad to donate my pieces :)

Good tracks Yannick!. I love Destiny don't wait, over all. I wish use it in someone of my incoming (non-comecial) KSP videos. Could it be? (of course expliciting you as the composer and music artist)

What type of rights have that song?

Do you have a suggestion for where to install libmpg for those of us that don't have a KSP_Data folder (OS-X?)? Or is this mod now Windows-only? Thanks.

(Edit: If there's on good idea as to where libmpg123 should go, would you be willing to add a "Disable MP3/MPG" option to settings.cfg? The plugin only has issues when it tries to enter the MP3Import() code in LoadMp3s()s. After that it just disappears... no segfault, no other log messages, just unloads or disappears or gets eaten by Unity.)

Sorry if I'm late to the show, but I just discovered this mod, AND I have a Mac, AND I have the developer tools installed. Plus, I appear to have copious free time. I can't actually code worth beans, but I can run a compiler.

It appears to me that if you're using an external library it must first be compiled against the Mac. For MPG123, that's pretty much already done here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mosx-mpg123/

It's probably also a good idea to see what others have done when using external libraries cross-platform. The example that springs to mind is GitCraft:

http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/gitcraft/

And I should note that the author there is simply placing the Mac OS X version of his library under the main KSP directory. There is no "special" location for it, so it's up to you.

Now I may need a fair bit of hand-holding but I can make my Mac available to compile code for you.

Meanwhile, I'm working on audio mastering of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" with an eye to creating a bright, shiny Creative Commons licensed version in Ogg Vorbis format. Anyone interested?

This is so obvious that it gives me a headache that it didn't occur to me.

To prevent making changes to the SoundtrackEditor plugin, this could be tested by taking the built library from that other OS-X version of mpg123 and renaming it to match the Windows version.... Otherwise the DllImport statements in mpgimport.cs will need to be updated to reference the OS-X lib.

I'm pretty much at the point where I know I no longer know what I'm talking about, so take that with a grain of salt. I'd offer to compile the OS-X mp3 lib, but I've failed so far to get a simple serial port library to build in X-Code/gcc/llvm, so... see previous sentence.

I'll just go hide in that corner over there for a while.

Well, no, it's nothing quite as simple as that. The Mac library will have its own format, and likely have a .dynlib extension, and there is some work integrating this into the main codebase. Being cross-platform isn't a cakewalk. So, there'll have to be changes to the code, mostly additions, due to the Mac version of the library being in a different format, and likely in a different location. Let's see what pizzaoverhead has to say about it first.

Sadly you're right. I did manage to build mpg123 and libmpg123.0.dylib for OS-X using the mpg123 source (and also mpg123 using that patch, but both worked when used outside of KSP). I tweaked the STED source to specify the new dylib library, but DllImport failed to load the library. The API seems to be the same across all versions, but I really only had a couple minutes to look at it and I'm not overly familiar with exactly what C# and/or Unity are looking for....

You're at least part-way there. It's really a matter of getting pizzaoverhead to notice that yes, we have a working dynamic library for Mac OS X, and all we really need is to hook it into the existing code, and alas, I'm not familiar enough with C# or Unity either. We're at a point where we need the mod's developer. :)

Meanwhile, I've got some work done on the .Ogg files for Holst's "The Planets." I have Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter done, and doing the audio bounces for Neptune. Oop! Neptune's done! That's four out of seven in one night.

Awesome mod. I'm spending more time creating music than playing the game at the moment.

Excellent! That's great to hear. Are you able to build the MOSX MPG123 library? I'm not sure how the Mac search path for libraries works, but there is some detail on it here. It works for GitCraft in the root, so that would be the place to start testing, but I'd prefer it to be in the same location as the DLL. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you make of "The Planets".

STED doesn't use the file extension, so if that is a valid way of loading the Mac library it should work without changes. However, the filename should be "libmpg123_0.dylib", not "libmpg123.0.dylib". I've heard there are issues with that character in cross-platform library names.

Ah... Tired last night, and didn't catch that last bit, and you're right, those two dots are a sticking point, the first one needs to be an underscore. I've yet to compile the library myself, as I'm working on the audio mastering for "The Planets." The work is mostly done. Just "Saturn" and "Venus" left to do, and maybe go back and see if I can't clean up the transients on "Jupiter." This music is very dynamic, with lots of loud and soft passages, and Jupiter is easily the most dynamic of the suite. So tonight, after music practice it's me and the compiler.

First of all, thank you again for this, pizzaoverhead. But...

potentially be able to use less memory than a stock install.

Do it as priority, please, immo is the most important feature to reach exit with this mod. I love this mod, a lot (¡a lot!), but I can't use it in my main install... too easy get a RAM crash with mods and a few songs... :(

As I understand it, excess dots are not an issue, but they do prevent DllImport from appending a ".dll" to the end of the filename in Windows. Which means you would then need to specify the full filename. Regardless, I tried both the normal versioning and the Windows underscore/dash with no luck. The stack trace indicates "missing file" at DllImport (specifically at mpg123_init), so I think it's just down to finding and/or specifying the right path.

The MOSX patch is pretty useless to us, as it only makes changes to the mpg123 binary, not the libmpg123 library. It does build, however, but it uses an older version of mpg123 to do so. Also, the issue it claimed to patch worked (for me) without the patch....

GitCraft doesn't seem to be doing anything obviously different. Sure, the library structure is different (they use a 3rd-party stub assembly as a dependency, and that stub dynamically loads the git libraries depending on platform), but procedurally it appears to be the same. (I only gave the C#/git library a cursory reading, though, so there may have been some P/Invoke things I overlooked.)

I'm about 99% sure this would be easier in Linux.... and it would probably work right off. Might test that tomorrow night if I find the time.

Memory usage and cross-platform compatibility are the two main issues I'm working on for the next release. The memory issue will require replacing KSP's music playing module, so it'll take a while. I have improved the loading times when you aren't using all tracks however.

I've had a look at the GitCraft code, and it is using the libgit2sharp library, which deals with cross-compatibility and paths the hard way. It tests what OS it's running on and modifies the path if necessary. I'll have to handle that in the plugin. Are you able to build the libmpg123 library under OS X? I have been planning on setting up a Linux install for working on this at some point, I'll have to make that a priority. Thanks again for the help.

Yep! Mpg123 is fairly well maintained, and their pre-build .configure script took care of everything. Make ran without issues, though the compiled library was hidden under a . folder in the src folder. (Had I bothered to run 'make install' it probably would've copied it somewhere friendlier like /usr/lib....)

That's good. I have some cross-compatibility code in the works. I'm hoping I'll have some time to get a test version to you this week.

There's a way to active random mode?

Random as in shuffling the songs? It orders them the same way the stock game does at the moment. I'll be rewriting it to add new features like that later though.

Could you perhaps add a mirror of your download on Spaceport?

There were SpacePort downloads, but they refused to update, so now there are MediaFire downloads. Are they not working for you?

So here is my playlist, all of the songs that I added came from Kevin MacLeod. I spent hours listening to every music he had and think what I picked fits the theme of KSP. I also reported an issue I had with MP3's, it seems it was my fault for not removing part of a mod I had installed.

Thanx for the mod.
