Getting FMP (OVI, OPI, OZI) files to play in Hoot -> S98

Post by MaliceX »

While it seems fairly trivial to get PMD music to play in Hoot (since plenty of games use said driver), it's seemingly not as trivial with FMP and I haven't been able to determine if an existing game uses the driver.

The only clue I've had so far was using the following reference download from the Hoot website:
http://dmpsoft.s17.xrea.com/data/hoot_fmp.zip

Though I had to get FMP.COM and a few other files myself and add it in the respective zip file for the XML. So far, I've managed to only get its program startup music playing (??) but not the music file in question.

Here's what I have so far (trying to get the Grounseed shop demo tune to play):
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1287967/malicex-gs_shop.xml (need to add this file on hoot.xml's list)

No luck after playing with PLAY_H/FMPP and 4.28u/7.00m versions of FMP here either, I asked UME-3, let's see if he'll answer.

P.S. Hoot have been changed pretty much last update so they probably changed some stuff so older shells don't work. Also let's see if Knurek will look at that topic
P.P.S. I bet "Non-VGM Technical Discussion" is correct subforum for this topic.

Erm.. right. Topic moved from General VGM Discussion and Software to Non-VGM Technical Discussion.

Not sure what you're asking. Is FMP supported in Hoot? Yes.

Have a look at the playlist of Wakusei Omega (Studio Twinkle). It uses the FMP.COM driver.

I notice with the XML, it includes a file called "PPZ8" but invokes "ppz". Is this the problem with it?

Nope. No fix there. It's OK there's no need for this anymore since I have a way to play these back in neko project ii. :)
