Yeah, Abrexxes. Nice demo.
You really _have_ cracked the camera turning problem - well done!

Downloadiing the full package now (got to go to work - arrgghh) but will test later.

Thanks, John.

Excellent stuff.
Thanks Abrexxes!

Abrexxes

In the Toolbox you can find now the source of DREAMPLAYER 3.0 beta 4e.
An EXE and all the files that you need are included in one download.

This will be the last "opensource" version.

Thanks to hectic.

Abrexxes, I know its the last open source, HOWEVER, I have something you may like. When it's complete, I will email you all you need to know! :)

Thanks! :)

Abrexxes

Ok (Abrexxes takes a little time out, i really need that. ;) )

John Blackledge

Testing now done.
Thanks Abrexxes, the new 3D code works perfectly.

Abrexxes, you deserve that champagne!

My engine's too big (and still too unfinished) to show, but thanks to you I now have 3 characters who can all speak - if I need them to - simultaneously, with lip-sync.

And as I walk amongst them the sound is perfectly updated and placed where it should be in the stereo field.
- Yes, I know, exactly the sort of effect that customers will never notice <sigh> but which we strive for.

I now feel that a significamt milestone has been achieved in the development of my engine, thanks to you.
Next, scripting for movement/reaction to the player; but that's up to me.

I hope one day you will walk through one of my villages and listen to the characters' conversations going on around you, and think "I made that happen!"

For the record, the 3D sound works correctly (now) in 5.1 surround sound as well. Kinda neat having things* sneak up behind you.

*Even if that thing is a cube playing music. :o)

Agreed. But not with lip-sync. And reverb in stone corridors.

LineOf7s

#12

Wait... what?

John Blackledge

#13

Sorry - misunderstood you.
I thought you were referring to standard Blitz sound.
So - even more 'yeehah' stuff in BBS than I've tried. Good.

LineOf7s

#14

Aaaah <ding!>

Yes - talking about BBS specifically. Was just a bit of a bonus I noticed whilst testing the fixed 3D-sound stuff. Thought I'd share. :o)

Abrexxes

#15

Yes LineOf7s, if you init bass, bass is asking the driver how many speakers are present and supported. Bass supports up to 7.1 systems and a max of 15 speakers X-)

John Blackledge

#16

Now you're showing off Abrexxes ;)
But I can now imagine (lip-synced) pharoahs walking around inside a tomb, with reverb and surround-sound. Hee-hee.
Time for me to get working.

For the record, bbs has been testet today on 7.1 systems and win64 systems..and works (as we can see) perfekt. so if someone has problems with systems like this please report.

Hi,

Very good job. As usual ;-). I need a sample code for a waterfall. Like a SubMarine analyser. Have you been doing?

@ ZJP Thanks :)

No, i havend done something like this yet, last week i tried to do the "winamp" spec, but failed. I am also searching for some math stuff and maybee c++ samples, but its hard to find. First i (we) must take a look at this :
The "Replay_Gain" Theorie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replay_Gain
http://www.replaygain.org/

If i have time, i will have a look in this stuff. :)
