I was wondering if there is, say, a plugin that can take NFS files or FTM files and run them (with their looping) in Unity3D? If not, is there a easy way to loop a WAV file in the same manner?
LITTLE bit off topic, I know, but I don't think it's that far off.

I don't use Unity, but I think that having one WAV file before the loop and another for the looped part may work...

Hum. Someone else looking into exporting the music for use in projects. Yeah, exporting three repeats and chopping the one in the middle out is the best way to do it that I'm aware of, unfortunately.
Well, I was reading a thread about a blank space before the actual audio (I believe it was you, actually) but the problem for me arises when you need to play a intro, then loop whats after that. I may have to just record the intro, then the loop three times, cut the middle out, and play the audio files accordingly in the code. I thought of that, but I'm still quite unsure how I'm gonna do that very precisely...
Oh well, thanks for the input. If anyone has, like, a plugin or something for Unity that plays NSFs, FTMs, MML or something that I can use with famitracker, I'd be much obliged.

Short of incorporating what would essentially be an NES emulator inside whatever project you're working on, yeah I guess splicing the middle loop out of a 3-loop WAV is the best solution. Make sure whatever audio editor you use doesn't introduce silence before your WAV though.

I record (some) NSFs on hardware. Feel free to [url=http://www.famitracker.com/forum/posts.php?id=3633]request a hardware render.

Probably Audacity, and I'm fairly sure it doesn't. Also, yeah, that's the kinda plugin I was trying to find, but when I think about it, it might impact the performance a little bit too much...

Solution #1: Don't use LAME.

Tesserex implemented an NSF player into his C Mega Man engine which we used in Mega Man Time Tangent, so using an NSF is not out of the question. It really only applies if you're being super anal about the whole thing and want channel muting or something; otherwise, wav files would do just fine!

My problem was less with authenticity, and more with ease of importing. But, I guess it really doesn't matter, as long as the game is good.

I'm certain that Unity already has very capable features for playing looped audio.
I'm not sure what motivates wanting to use NSF or FTM or MML specifically. As has been pointed out, playing back NSF basically requires the implementation of most of an NES emulator. Putting an NES emulator inside your game seems a bad idea; aside from being a lot of work, or a likely code licensing issue, that's a lot of extra CPU performance to spend.
...and it's for something you could solve with existing solutions that would sound identical. Why do you want to do this?

Well, basically, although it seems better in every way at this point to just loop the music normally in unity, the problem was that, when you output a WAV file from famitracker, there is no way to import one little file and, based on that file, play the intro, and loop the portion that SHOULD loop infinitely. The CPU cost is a bit too much, though...

yes, and it's quite a pain to arrive at that conclusion.
To get an intro and a loop, you have to, in my experience set your document up as follows.
A) intro frames
B) Loop frames
C) duplication of loop frames.
Have famitracker export the whole pile. Then you go into audacity and um
very carefully (luck willing, always) find the exact point the intro ends and the loop begins, and chop everything to the left
(note) if you're going to do say, normalization of the file to make it as loud as it can be without clipping, do any adjustments you have to do before cutting.
Take the left chunk, save it as [songtitle]_Intro
Then take the remainder, and find the EXACT point that the loop ends, and goes back into itself. again, it's an inexact science unfortunately. But, provided you find that exact point, isolate that middle piece that represents your loop in its entirety and export that as [songtitle]_Loop, and you're pretty much good to go.
It's a stupid amount of work with a ton of steps that you can screw up. Just being a tiny bit off on your cut points will ruin the results, and you'll have either a clunky transition from intro to Loop, or you'll have a garbage loop, or both!
Needless to say, i really wish this process was a little more straightforward. Maybe i'm stupid, but i haven't been able to come up with anything better.

Yeah, maybe, at some point (very low priority, if you ever do this), maybe jsr would add this function in. Just have it export frames xx - xx, then export the rest, without the extra silence. It'd be nice.
