BASS.dll and BPMs

Hello! Flame here!

Been awhile since I last posted here, and I come back with a rather odd question/problem. Hopefully it's a simple one that can be easily fixed.

I am busy working on a game that uses BPMs of the background music to create enemies in a sort of shooter game. I knew right away I'd need to use BASS to get the job done, and after looking around, I found out my function I need is BASS_FX_BPM_DecodeGet. After finding the parameters needed, I came up with this in the main loop:

thesize# = BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds#(music, BASS_ChannelGetLength(music))
duh = BASS_FX_BPM_DecodeGet(music, 0, thesize#, 0, 2, BASS_NULL)

The music handler is done by such:

music = BASS_StreamCreateFile(0,"media\free.mp3",0,0,BASS_STREAM_DECODE)
BASS_ChannelPlay(music,BASS_TRUE)

This is using a modified demo_stream.bb script from the a Bass.dll source that included many examples and userlibs (I think this is the 2.1 one or something), but upon running it, I get a MAV on BASS_FX_BPM_DecodeGet.
My question is: What am I doing wrong?

If you have a MAV....nothing.....with the bass.dll. Bass can not produce a MAV in the BB compiler. ;)

But, if you have time, i take a look at the rest this weekend.

Hi, works fine here. simple & debug compile

Make shure that you use the right bass version. 2.3.0.3.
(look into your windows/system32 folder if there is an older one , if yes, deltete it/Make shure that you use DLLS/DECLS and INCLUDES of the lattest download (see my signature))

Btw..nice function ;)

bye

Edit: next update will have a BASS_InitCallVersionError function ^^

I got a MAV by asking Blitz to link to the wrong bass.dll (see other thread). Also running compile actually rebooted my machine a couple of times!

Now I have all the latest dll's, includes etc, no prooblem.
Thanks Abrexxes.

Hi, John

Yes, if you have somewhere the old CALLDLL libs you can have a MAV and crashes. But my version of bass can only return 0 and not cause a crash.
The only case is if you try to return values in a blitzbank. But that is always a problem of the bb code.

Nice to hear that your problems are solwed.

bye

Yeah Abrexxes - solid as a rock now.
See the 'bass.dll + 3D?' thread for the results.

Yea, I am sure I used the latest one (had downloaded it from your link 4 days before attempting this). I just checked the versions and the version matches what was stated, but I didn't install the DLL into the system32 (because it seems to play without any problem, it's just this one function). After doing so, I still cannot get it to run at all. I have both bass.dll and bass_fx.dll in the userlibs, and even after compiling into exe and running it in a folder (with the dlls in the folder btw), it still fails with MAV. My system is Windows XP Home on a Dell Laptop Inspiron 1300 if that helps.

EDIT: Is it possibly because I'm using B3D?

1.98 or 1.99? No.

hmm....sorry.. no idea
