[BUG?] Music selection in 12.9
« on: June 01, 2020, 08:43:40 PM »
Not sure if there's a bug here or if I've just done something stupid.

I am attempting to split the "Extra Levels" pack into separate packs for 2P, Genesis, and so on. I have moved the level subfolders from Extra into the main levels folder, gone into each pack's levels.nxmi, and added "BASE" at the start to show that it's (now) a separate pack. In case it makes a difference, I've done this on a brand-new installation of 12.9 with no other levels other than Redux installed.

To help reproduce the bug, I've attached a zip with the exact current state of my levels folder.

Expected: Each pack starts the music rotation with track 1 (Cancan).
Observed: NL treats all the packs as if they were a single pack, so 2P ends with track 11, and the next pack starts with track 12.

On a similar note, it was mentioned on discord the other day that it would be desirable if putting a music.nxmi inside a rank folder told NL "use this music rotation for this rank, and start with track 1". An example use-case that came up was WillLem's Amiga Lemmings project, where he would like to have an overall music rotation for the pack, but restart from track 1 with the 2P rank.

Haven't outright tested yet, but a quick look at the code suggests the "which music" code for rotatoin basically falls apart as soon as there's a deviation from "normal" pack structure (it's a bit messy trying to do a "music carries over between ranks" in a setup where a "rank" vs "pack" distinction is very weak in the first place, and nested ranks are allowed, etc). I'll sort this out next time I'm working on coding.

Fixed in commit a99736d (including the music.nxmi's for sub-ranks thing).
