cfc_midi_interface's Introduction

cfc_midi_interface

This addon allows users with MIDI devices to play the Playable Piano addon with said device.
It also integrates Starfall hooks and functions for the MIDI devices and Playable Piano.

Requirements

Clients are required to have gmcl_midi.dll in garrysmod/lua/bin for MIDI devices to be used.

Just click the link and download the appropriate version of gmcl_midi from the latest release.

If you're running default Garry's Mod, download gmcl_midi_win32.dll.

If you're running Garry's Mod on the 64-bit / Chromium branch, download gmcl_midi_win64.dll.

Console Commands

midi_devices - This allows you to select the MIDI device you wish to use.
midi_debug [0|1] - This boolean ConVar enables/disables debug prints in console, which show information about midi events as they occur.
midi_reload - This simply reloads the addon, and searches for gmcl_midi.dll again, allowing users to add the file without relog.
sv_midi_sf_note_quota - This is a server-side quota for starfall playNote calls (per second) (def 30).

Starfall

The MIDI hook is now available on client-side, using the following syntax:
nil GM:MIDI( float time, int command, int note, int velocity )
or more often:
hook.add("MIDI", "my_unique_identifier", function(time, command, note, velocity) end)
Entities now have the boolean Entity:IsInstrument() and boolean Entity:playNote(int note) functions.
Entity:playNote takes a note index from 1-61 and returns a success boolean.
NOTE: Entity:playNote is limited by the sv_midi_sf_note_quota ConVar.
NOTE2: Entity:playNote also requires the calling player have PhysGun access to the instrument entity.
