Summary0005579: "Mission Success" Audio Broken
DescriptionIf you start an FM with console "map..." and get to Mission Success, you'll typically hear the default 3 chime tones, as expected. If you start the same FM instead as a regular player would, you'll only hear about 1/2 second of the first chime, and then it gets stepped on by the main menu music.

The same thing happens if you use the gui hook to install custom Mission Success audio... only the roughly first 1/2 second plays. This breaks comparability with any existing FM that uses custom Mission Success audio.



Steps To ReproduceTry the foregoing two methods of running with the StartMap FM, and listen upon Mission Success. JackFarmer already did this to confirm reproducibility.
Additional InformationPerhaps this bug was introduced during one of the more recent TDM upgrades?

This bug makes installing a custom Mission Success audio track kind of pointless. I had begun to do this with my Away 0 WIP, to add a brief ending monologue as a bridge to the next episode, but then ran into this truncation problem. Only work-around would seem to be adding another cutscene right before Mission Success, a awful lot more work. (If there's a quick fix or better work around please let me know right away.)

@Geep: Is this issue still reproducible for you? When I finish Tears of St. Lucia in TDM 2.12/64 #10651 (beta212-07), there is no cutscene at the end, and I can still hear all 3 chime tones indicating mission success. Or would you say that this issue is limited to only fan missions and does not affect original missions?

Can anyone reproduce this defect on a recent version? Maybe @JackFarmer?

@Fiver, sorry I missed your late Feb post about this. I'll look into this further to see if it's still an issue. Might be awhile before I have an answer for you.

I reloaded startmap.pk4 into TDM 2.12, and no longer saw the problem (e.g., 3 chimes stepped on when starting game normally).

Still to investigate: whether corresponding problem when using gui hook with custom audio ending is also OK now.

BTW, the 2 links to startmap.pk4 on Fidcal's page https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Startpack_Mappers%27_Guide are now rotted. (The domain Fidcal.com is up for sale). Fortunately I had a local copy. Is it possible to save a copy of this on a TDM server, e.g., Art Archives? Who manages that?

Confirmed that custom audio for mission success is also no longer a problem under 2.12. OK to close out this report.

Thank you for confirming!

Send a chat to Taaaki and include me. We should offer the Start Mappers pack on the Downloads page. I can also post it to Moddb.

Nevermind.

I found startmap in an SVN branch and uploaded it to Moddb:
