When will BYOND support playing more than 1 *.wav file at a time and maybe (gasp) mp3's?
Apr 27 2002, 8:21 am
Well think about this. Mp3 file averages I'd say about 3mb. If you think about downloading the game file would be huge because of the size of the Mp3.

Well being able to play more than 1 *.wav file at once would be really good for making games, such as I have a night and day cycle that is not only visual but also hearable with background music I can not make it where when a player walks it plays a walk sound because of only 1 *.wav file at a time.

BYOND supports sound mixing.

BYOND can not play more than 1 *.wav file at one time though. If by mixing you mean *.midi + *.wav yes but the midi being a limited format and only playing 1 midi + 1 wav at a time is very very limiting.

Yes it can. In my game I have multiple gunshot sounds effects. it does so.

not possible, you are not getting what I am saying, Try playing 2 *.wav song files at once, only one will be able to play, also look under sound help it says so itself.

I HAVE multiple .wavs playing at once in my game. I know, there are massive gun fights and I hear every gunshot/explosion.

In response to Sariat
yes you do have multiple *.wav files in your game.

But you cannot play more than one at a time.

Yes you can. I hear them going off all the time.


WAVMIX32.DLL

Is the program that does it. Its in your bin.

This is what I have.

plaincycle()
p = 1 - p
if(p)
contents << 'bit_01.wav'

well alot more than that but I will not post it all,

I have this for my char,

lient
North()
if(usr.m==1)
usr << "NOT WHILE YOUR ASLEEP!"
else
if(usr.Stamina<=1)
usr << "Your to tired to walk!!!"
else
usr.Stamina-=usr.weight2
usr.jog+=1
if(usr.jog>=usr.Maxjog)
usr.jog = 0
usr.MAXHP+=10
usr.MaxStamina+=25
usr << "<font color=blue> You gained 10 Max HP and 25 Max Stamina!"
usr.Maxjog+=50
if(usr.SP<=50)
sleep(3)
usr << 'step.wav'
step(usr,usr.dir)
else
if(usr.SP<=100)
usr << 'step.wav'
sleep(2)
step(usr,usr.dir)
else
usr << 'step.wav'
step(usr,usr.dir)

Also I posted this in the code problems 1 day ago.

I have a 8 directional icon I have configured my East and West client inputs to rotate my icon I also configured my North client input to walk in the direction that my icon faces, But I have this for my North

step(usr,usr.dir)
dir = usr.dir + 2

it is the changing the Camera view that I have problems with, It is because it remaps the key's everytime the camera view changes is there any way to turn this off? please help me.

Here is what is in BYOND help.

sound proc
See also:
<< output operator
Format:
sound(File,Repeat=0)
Args:
File: A sound file to play.
Repeat: 1 to play sound repeatedly.
Output a sound file when used with the << operator.

The sound file must be a midi (.midi or .mid) or wav file. Currently, one midi and one wav may play at a time, so outputting another sound before the previous one of the same type is done will chop the previous one short.

The following example plays some sound files. Note that sound() is not even necessary when you don't need to set any additional parameters.

Example:
usr << 'giggle.wav' // play a giggle once
usr << sound('gigue.midi',1) // repeat gigue

As it hints at, it's possible your WAV files are compressed. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I do know that the sound files that I use work fine. ;-P
