hi !
as i was working with dbd on my online rpg game (wich can be played soon), i saw the directx internal music and sound gestion was great but not really usefull... nowadays mp3, ogg are really important. (the pcm compression to use for directsound is too long to do)
So i decided to write my class to use the most powerfull sound library... fmod. (free if your app is free...)
And because i use it a lot i thought some of you guys could enjoy this class...
It's a very simple class, with basic features (add a sound, play, pause, stop, remove, control volume, frequency..)
There are 3 types of sound you can add (music, stream, and sound)
for more informations please have a look at the readme file inside the zip
this class because of the use of fmod, REQUIRES fmod.dll. So if you don't want to use it, don't compile your dbd engine with this class...
(take a look at www.fmod.org, for files formats, ....)
later i will add more usefull function (seek into the track...) but it is basic and anyone is able to understand how to use it and how to add new functions.
for those who want...:

have fun!
(for any question, .... ophidian@playhdk.com)

thk you ;)
where is the problem with the `free` word ? ;)
i know the license for this .dll if you use it in commercial applications is very expensive (1000 -> 2000$)
but for the user who just want to make his free game... it's powerfull and free....
well today i was using the tiny fmod class and i realized something was missing... (lot of things...)
so i decided to add the FX effect capabilities of the fmod lib
now it's better, you can simply use the class like this:
Engine.DBFmod.Add_ "yourfile.mp3", FMOD_Stream, True ' << true because we use FX in this file
Engine.DBFmod.FX_SetGargle 1, 1, 25000, 1
Engine.DBFmod.Play_ 1
this will stream your file (so no long preload), and use FX Gargle.
remember you can stream mp3 that's on a web server, like
Engine.DBFmod.Add_ "http://myserv/yourfile.mp3", FMOD_Stream, True
Engine.DBFmod.FX_SetEffect Index, FXIndex, params.....
Index is the index of the sound file loaded in the class
FXIndex is the `slot` where to put the effect
for each file you can use up to 16 slots (1 to 16) of effects
you can have the params list to use with the according function, at www.fmod.org/docs/
you can use these effects:
FX_SetChorus
FX_SetCompressor
FX_SetDistortion
FX_SetEcho
FX_SetFlanger
FX_SetGargle
FX_SetI3DL2Reverb
FX_SetParamEQ
FX_SetWavesReverb
update is here:
http://ophidianlair.free.fr/DBTurboSourcev1.4.fmod.fx.zip
if anyone is interrested by this class i can make a litte tutorial or help file...
appreciate NOW the new sound generation :) |

First of all, thank you very much for sharing this class!
I have a little experince using FMOD, and it has some really great features. To have the possibility of using FMOD's features in DaBooda's engine is great!
Secondly,

It's not nearly that expensive unless you expect to sell thousands of copies.
Quote from FMOD's licensing page (http://www.fmod.org/ifmodlicense.html):
quote:
Shareware, hobbyist agreement
Because some developers are single hobbyist programmers, or sell at an extreme low price-points with no distribution except through a website, and no expectations of high sales that could warrant or recoup the price of a normal product/site license, the 'shareware/budget' license option has been created.
1 product, PC* only. $100
* PC is classified as WinCE, Win32, Linux or Macintosh
Out of curiosity (although I know it killed the cat) - what kind of a game are you developing?
EDIT:
Note to self: Alway remember to read previous posts before asking questions that may already have been answered! 
Of course you are developing an Online Roleplaying Game that will soon be available... Good luck with that!  |

Try looking at this example, you might be able to resovle your problem using this automove-setup.
PS. It uses version 1.3 of DaBooda's engine, but you should be able to change the reference to version 1.4 and have it running off that with no coding efford.
You game looks neat, by the way. Let me know how it goes.

thx you very much Sion for helping me... but in fact i'm killing my self to find this mistake !
i looked at your great automove sample (thank a lot !), but the problem is that you use a 2*2 submap size for the map, so each submap has a map limit, please try with 4*4 for example. You will have something like
(M: map limit, O:no map limit)
MMMM
MOOM
MOOM
MMMM
and i think now the system won't works anymore.
i will try to make a sample for you, because my problem is maybe not a problem, and i can't explain it properly
(i made a complex system to load map, events, .... and now i'm bugging on a small bug.... grrrrrrrrr)

| Could you post the map/automove part of your game. I'm pretty sure you have messed something up - I've not tested it fully, but the top row in a 4*4 map works perfectly... I can post the code once I've completed the map w/automove. |

No matter, here is the source (and source only - no resources, use the ones you've already downloaded) for the fully working 4*4 mapsystem with automove.
Notice that I've set SWidth and SHeight to haft the game size, which makes the map scroll only when the character is closer than 1/4 of the game size to each of the edges.

well thank you again & again ;) this works perfectly.... in your sample :(
i think the real problem in my viewport system is that i have.... a different game_width and game_height
for example try to add 256 to the game_width (and adjust the rest)
i think you will have my bug... anyway i'm sorry to disturb you :\
i will try to make take the minimum of my game and send it to you.... (because the project is too big and too `bordelique` (it's french) to be understood in 5 minutes...)
thks Sion |
