[PLUGIN] Audiere Sound

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here is a alternative to XAudio2 for having sound in your game.  It uses the Audiere sound library as a base and it can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT files.  

It behaves much like XAudio2 but instead of channels you access loaded sounds and musics by alias' (or names).

Audiere Sound Plugin 1.4 Download
To install copy the plugins folder to your construct directory.

To get started use the "Load Music form file" action.

version 1.1:
[fix] Music stop was not working correctly.

version 1.2
[fix] Music set repeat was not working.

Edit:
version 1.3
[fix] Load music from resource was messed up.

version 1.4
[fix] There were rounding errors with volume. Higher precision is now used.

	Ah this is awesome! No more switching between plugins when playing different formats Will this eventually included in Construct Classic itself?

	Oh, how unexpected. The MOD object was a pain in the ass to be frank, this should come in handy. Thank you so much R0J0hound!

	Nice plugin even though my current hobby is just to collect loads of plugins without really doing anything

	Ahh..it doesn't work for me . I tried to play about 10 mp3 and ogg files. Playback is good, but can't set starting position for any file. What's the format for it. I only tried whole numbers, supposed 3000 could be someting like 3sec. When I enter any number it starts playback again. Stop music doesn't work - it stops the music and starts again. If I load music file as sound, there is pause, probably as it's caching the file, then stop function work, but there is no action to set sound position. Do you think, all these could be fixed? In documentation for the plugin, there is midi support - I believe it's just not activated, would it be worth it to include it? Hope you can fix it, that'd be awesome.

	I fixed the music stop action. download version 1.1 in the first post. The "set position" action only works for files that support seeking. You can use the "is seekable" condition to check. Unfortunately the Audiere library doesn't seem to support seeking for most of the file formats it supports. In other words it's a limitation of the Audiere library that I can't work around.
