John...finaly..thanks for waiting so long and your help. :) have fun |
| ||
| 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! |
| ||
| 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. bye |
| ||
| 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! :) ~DS~ |
| ||
| Ok (Abrexxes takes a little time out, i really need that. ;) ) |
| ||
| 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!" |
| ||
| And as I walk amongst them the sound is perfectly updated and placed where it should be in the stereo field. 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. |
| ||
| Wait... what? |
| ||
| Sorry - misunderstood you. I thought you were referring to standard Blitz sound. So - even more 'yeehah' stuff in BBS than I've tried. Good. |
| ||
| 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) |
| ||
| 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-) |
| ||
| 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? JP Waterfall spectrum analyser  |
| ||
| @ 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. :) bye |
| ||
| 1.7.1 ----- V.1.7.1 minor fix (bass.decls/bass.bb) *no need to update |
| ||
| Well, happy birtday to BBS ^^ It makes 2 years that the first build (closed) commes out! 2 years of.....well ;) I never have had the ilusion that it will bee older than 3 weeks..thanks :) |
| ||
| Happy birtday. Thx again ;-) JP |
| ||
| Very cool ! Ps. is Un4seen.Bass.Misc.Visuals.DetectPeakFrequency() implemented in the wrapper? Cheers, LW. |
| ||
| Ps. for B3D release builds sometimes I get a crash getting device info, but I run again and sometimes it works fine - any thoughts? It is HD realtek stuff on a laptop.. if I comment out getting device name is works all the time but I don't want to do that. Cheers! |
| ||
| Sorry, i was for a long time offline @LamptonWorm No, it isnt and will not bee included as it needs "callbacks". B3D as it is, is not made for callbacks and we will have more problems as solutions. Yes, we can write a wrapper dll, but bass at the moment is rockstabel. If you need more take a look at blitzmax. @LamptonWorm2 Sorry, no idea. Have you a "virtual" sound device running ore something else? Please give me the name of your laptop and the serial number. So i can make a research an the sw.chipset used in "this" laptop. Normaly "Realtek" makes no problems. bye |
| ||
| Hi :) You say : - Streams and musics can be outputted in any way you want (encoded, written to disk, streamed across a network, etc...) But i don't understand how to do ? any help possible ? Regards |
| ||
| In Theorie, you can use every stream made with bass and save them. But if you want to save a "flag" file you must the flac.dll (The bass.dll supports wav and ogg (and mp3).On the other side you can decode an mp3 into a pcm (wave) file, for this you can use sounddevice "0" (no sound) if you want to do that in realtime (without sound output =render to disk methode). But dont forget that for some functions of bass you need callbacks, so a little workaround with "movememory". So, what exactely do you want to do? bye |
| ||
| Warning!! Under the "XP Virtual Mode" from Windows7 do not us this commands: -BASS_GetDeviceDescriptionString$(device%) -BASS_CreateBeep%(art% = 1 .................) Problem: the intern system32 command .lib "Kernel32.dll" BASS_RtlMoveMemory1%(Destination*,Source,Length) : "RtlMoveMemory" BASS_RtlMoveMemory2%(Destination,Source*,Length) : "RtlMoveMemory" can crash your system completely. bye |
| ||
| I've never actually used this before. How much better is it than vanilla Blitz3D 3D sound? Forget about the extra stuff it does, how does it differ in 3D sound from vanilla Blitz3D? |
| ||
| is there a solution, abrexxes? |
| ||
| @ ST the virtual XP mode was designed to allow companies to run older .net ând virtual XXX applications. This apis dont use unmanaged movememory. That is a question that you must ask the microsoft support as kernel32.dll is a microsoft product. ^^ sry, my english is bad. :/ <---me to ;) |
| ||
| After a little work_around i find out that this problem is only for the w7 XP VM. Other VMs works right here. There is nothing that i can do. But, the DeviceDescription you dont really need to make games. MakeBeep you can also make by saving a bank as wav and reload them. I will stop the support for BBS here. For B3D (as it is) its more than stable. The time that B3D (and B+) are not compatible to a modern api (or language) like dx9(modern...ok...i need at least pointers), it makes no sense to write 1000 work_arounds. Bmax (and others) is (are)the future, sorry guys. cu |
| ||
| ok thanks for the informations. I think a kernel32.dll wrapper as replacement for kernel32.dll is needed. It must only copied into the program folder. How hard will the work be? |
| ||
| You dont need a "kernel" wrapper, the result will be the same. What you need is a wrapper to "wrap" pointers. I am not shure if that is enought. But is seems that the XP VM for 7 has not implemented ram_page routines.So you need only pointers to access the ram, as blitz doesent support, i used memory "moving". I have not tested other ways, if it works it would not be so hard. If it doesnt work, you have no chance as it is a microsoft only problem. Both, the kernel32.dll and the XP.VM are from them. Maybee a Bugreport can change this. But the XP.VM was not designed (created) to do this...... As it crashes the system completely (windows7), it seems that we have a problem with all low_level commands....... :( bye |
| ||
| where can i get the later bass.decls file? i have a real old one. Bass_Free() no longer works :( thanks guys |
| ||
| ignore me, i just found the lib in the studio! i am REAL rusty ... not been b3d coding for over a year! |
| ||
| BBS 2.0 will be there in a few days ;) Because? : I am working on a dx9 Engine for 2D (B3D/B+), and for this i need an update :=) bye PS: BBS 2.0 will be compatible to the last version (1.7.1)....hope so! Last edited 2012 |

| cool ;) |
| ||
| There is a really big limitation that's blocking me at the moment with this lib, it could be that I haven't found a way to get around it (and by the way, help files don't work for some reason) CHANNELS!; what's the point on having all this when you cannot instance your sound to different channels? that is, loading one sound file, then playing as many channels as you want, and apply the different effects to those channels, exactly the same way you do with native blitz3D sound. Right now you apply every effect to a single instance of a sound; not good. Please someone tell me if this is either me missing a very important detail about this lib, or if it is the way it works. |
