oggs, files, channels question

[Renatos]

Could someone explain to me how that works? I know you can play an ogg file as play sample. But I cannot use the expression editor for the appdir$ and such, unless you specify a channel. So yea, someone maybe could explain this channel feature? :-)


Thanks in advance,

The channel thing is just so you can play multiple sounds at the same time. MMF2 support 32 channels. Thus, you can play 32 different sounds the same time. <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yea I see, I am adding ogg to my current project, but everytime the character makes a sound, the ogg file stops playing. So I will have to re-program all sounds to play at a specific channel?

[MetalGeo]

Unfortunately so.

I think it's also more safe if you disable the "Automatic" option in the Sample Filters dialog. As far as I know, if you enable it, your application won't play external sounds when you compile it.

I see, well thank you for your help :-)

Now, why won't multi samples working? I set all the sound effects to play on channel 1 and music on channel 2. My multi-channel option is checked, shouldn't it be working?

[Renatos]

Ugh, also my application is crashing after I implemented the ogg support. It crashes when its playing the sound effects on channel 1.

Here's the message

Runtime Error!
Program:...iles\Multimedia Fusion Developer2\data\runtime\edrt.exe
R6025
-pure virtual function call

Is this a known bug or issue with samples?

[FoxBlitzz]

Yeah, that crashing has happened to a few others, including myself. We need to let Yves know about this so it can get fixed.
