TBASS_SampleLoad()+MusicLoad()- what parameters to set up?

[ReneMiner]

In the meantime I came to add sounds to my game, but there I've got some problems to figure out how to set up the parameters/arguments for

TBASS_SampleLoad(unknown, PointsToSoundInMemory, unknown, LengthOfSound, unknown, unknownEquates)

same issue for TBASS_MusicLoad()

The helpfile just tells: Topic to be finish... and the samples do not tell anything about the meaning of arguments there.
especially the equate to play a sound just once would be of interest to me.
Also do I want to know, how it works to play more than one sound at the time.

Can anybody help?

Hi,

I prepaired brief documentation for these keywords here:
TBASS_SampleLoad (http://www.thinbasic.com/community/showthread.php?11162-Help-file-TBASS_SampleLoad&highlight=tbass_sampleload)
TBASS_MusicLoad (http://www.thinbasic.com/community/showthread.php?11160-Help-file-TBASS_MusicLoad&highlight=tbass_musicload)

I am sure Eros will put it in help file soon.

You might be interested in sound wrapper I created in the past. It is called simply Sound3D, I attach it to this post.
To use it in your script, just place this to your code:


%Sound3D_WantDebug= 0
%Sound3D_WantTBGL = 0
#INCLUDE "unit_Sound3d.tBasicU"

' -- before program starts
Sound3D_Create()

' -- Use some sounds you have on your PC
DWord sndCrash = Sound3D_ChannelLoad(APP_SourcePath + "SoundEffects\crash.wav")
DWord sndScratch = Sound3D_ChannelLoad(APP_SourcePath + "SoundEffects\scratch.wav")


Sound3D_ChannelPlay(sndCrash)
MsgBox 0, "First sound"

Sound3D_ChannelPlay(sndScratch)
MsgBox 0, "Second sound"

' -- before program ends
Sound3D_Destroy()


It should play side by side (new sound should not interrupt the current one)

Thank you Petr, the thread I've found already in the meantime. Also the small link to BASS and I already tried, but didn't get a "beep" out of that thing. I'll use the unit_Sound3D.tbasicu now.

It works! Great!
But why does that Console-alike-Window open? Can I avoid that somehow?

[Petr Schreiber]

Hello,

I attach for you updated version from today :)
It does not use Console anymore to report debug messages.

If you want debug/error messages use:


%Sound3D_WantDebug= 1

...

MsgBox 0, Sound3D_DebugGetErrorLog() ' -- To get info about possible problems, function returns string

you might move or close this thread, we're far off topic - does not have anything to do with TBASS any more ;)
