Best path to the soundtrack directory

leviking · Monday, 12:31 pm

I'm creating a plugin for listen Rising World Soundtrack with a radio. I need some programming advice.

First, what's the best way to find the path to the music folder ?

I play on Linux with Steam and have coded this :

Code

musicDir = "/../../../../music/Rising World Soundtrack";
sound = player.playSound(SoundAsset.loadFromFile(plugin.getPath() + musicDir + "/" + playlist.get(musicIndex), true));

But I imagine this won't work on Windows or if the soundtracks have not been purchased via Steam.

Is there a way to find out the soundtrack directory directly? And does it work on all platforms?

SoundAsset SoundFile = SoundAsset.loadFromFile(getPath() + "/Assets/Music.mp3");

MP3 stored in the Assets folder in the plugins folder

Thanks for your reply. But I wanted to know how to play the music tracks sold by R.W. Under my Linux, they can be found in the directory: /opt/games/steamapps/music/Rising World Soundtrack

How can I find this folder for sure? Is there a function like SoundTrack.getPath()?

player.playSound(SoundFile, true, 0.5f, 1f, 0f, 15f, new Vector3f(-4405.1523f, 91.03004f, -2092.8826f));

Again the files go inside the Assets folder, you need to copy the files here (Assets)

This is not my music, It's the official soundtrack of Rising World : https://shop.rising-world.net/…-rising-world-soundtrack/

I can't put it in my plugin archive.

yes if you own it my understanding is It contains the game music as separate audio files, you would need to copy those separate audio files to the Assets folder, the Assets folder would be in the same folder as your plugin.jar file then your plugin would play those files for everyone on your server even if they dont own them, but i dont see the point in such a plugin as the game already plays those files oO

It doesn't matter. I'll publish my plugin and I'll see the feedback from people on Windows and I'll fix my plugin accordingly.

Thanks anyway for your answers.
