What function is starting music?

[Crazy]

I wonder if anyone knows which function (prolly a sub) is actually starting music in Freelancer?
I’m not sure if it’s actually done in Freelancer.exe or in the soundmanager/soundstreamer.dll.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Crazy,

I came across sound functions when I was looking for something else. In Server.dll there are the following:

pub::Audio::CancelMusic(uint);
pub::Audio::PlaySoundEffect(uint, uint);
pub::Audio::SetMusic(uint, pub::Audio::Tryptich const &);

I’m a little new to researching these but perhaps this will help and I may be able to find more information.

Hey AlphaWolf,

thanks for your reply but I’m looking for the clientside function which actually starts to play a music file.

Edit: I’ve looked a bit deeper into it.
Could it be sub_6EE86C0 in soundmanager.dll which is playing sounds by calling acmstreamopen?

Edit²: Hm ok, seems that’s not the right function.
But there are two functions in soundstreamer.dll which are using acmstreamopen too. Will have a look at them.

Got it^^

Hooking acmstreamopen in soundmanager.dll works.

while we at it, did someone get rid of that annoying bug when you alt-tab back to the game and music is LOUD?

[Crazy]

That’s why I was searching for that func.
Nearly got it fixed.

report when you have. sure there are lots of ppl who’d like to get rid of this bug.

Well… Now I’m searching for a function to actually play music.
I’ll check the subs which are calling acmstreamopen first.
