loading and playing a sound, problem with declaring path

hebdemnobad · 9-Jan-2014 04:20:50

I have a sound named incomingsound.ogg in the tests folder in the Openspace3d folder. I'd like to be able to play the sound (as part of a chat ui, not as a sound in a 3d scene)

this isn't working:

typeof audio = AsSnd;;
///
fun blahblah()=
set audio = asSndCreate _channel nil;
asSndLoad  audio "tests/incomingsound.ogg" AS_SND_STATIC;
asSndPlay audio nil;;

os3d console is telling me:

asSndLoad  audio "tests/incomingsound.ogg" AS_SND_STATIC??;
syntax error
>>> ERROR - Type mismatch (detail):
Found:    [AsSnd S I]
Expected: [AsSnd P I]

if I try:

set audio = asSndCreate _channel nil;
let "tests/incomingsound.ogg"-> soundpath in
(
asSndLoad  audio  soundpath AS_SND_STATIC;
asSndPlay audio nil;
);

the os3d console says:

>>> ERROR - Type mismatch (detail):
Found:    [S P AsSnd]
Expected: [S S u0]

any input welcome
thx!

Hi !

asSound is a deprecated sound API (used in the old 3D engine) and don't support ogg format

use http://redmine.scolring.org/projects/au … audio.html instead.

see the example in os3dplugins\media\sound\csound.pkg

when the function take a path as a P type, this mean a scol file in partition, to get it use _checkpack "my/path..."
asSndLoad audio (_checkpack "tests/incomingsound.ogg") AS_SND_STATIC;

For info, the new API is in the classical documentation : http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/ … audio.html

For security reasons and other things, Scol can read (respectively write) only in a Scol partition : a predefined directory and its sub-directory. When you must read (write) a file, you must set a read (write) reference file given by _checkpack (_getmodifypack) :
http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/_checkpack.html
http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/ … ypack.html
If the given path name is not found (or not accessible for Scol), these functions return nil. You can check that too.

Thx for your replies Is auaudio what I should use for non 3d sounds, like sounds that are part of a 2d ui?

arkeon · 9-Jan-2014 14:16:20

you can use it like that :

  let _CRAudio _channel "beep" (_checkpack "sounds/beep.ogg") 0 -> snd in  
   _AudioPlay snd  0;

You'll find an example in the doc for a 2d use : http://www.scolring.org/files/doc_html/ … audio.html (at the bottom of the page)

I updated my chat project with sounds triggered by incoming messages, I'll leave my browser open, come for a visit. I'm working now but I have time to reply to an incoming waahwaah sound:
