I guess that's why the File component has the FileEmbedded property :wink: I guess you are right. My method make sense for all the spaceship datas that are stored, modified and generated from the sheet, but for the music volumes, since the txt files already exist, that makes total sense. You can, y...

Maybe this is the simplest way to achieve this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVersion="2"> <OnLoaded> <ZLibrary Comment="Music Volumes" HasInitializer="1&quo...

Hahaha I have one last problem regarding the same number storage within the game :lol: When my game isn’t in DEBUG_MUSIC mode, I would like to embed the volumes of the music instruments directly in the game, instead of relying on external text files. Typically, in other languages, I would store my a...

Oh yeah, I overdid it
Thanks a lot!

I managed to read my list of numbers from the txt file, but that seems overly complicated. Am I doing it right? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVersion="2"> <OnLoaded> <FileA...

After some reflection, I realized I’m going to need to read an external file to make tweaks on the modules without having to compile an EXE. It’s for the musician :) Right now, I’m saving the modules’ volumes in an array when I first scan the SunVox files: void ListMusicModules() { // Get the total ...

Oh wow. It worked perfectly: void ListMusicModules() { // Get the total number of modules int num_modules = sv_get_number_of_modules(0); // Loop through each module and print its name and volume for (int i = 0; i < num_modules; i++) { string module_name = sv_get_module_name(0, i); int volume = sv_ge...

I wrote a program that reads a MIDI file, adds the SunSynth instrument to the tracks with the transposition and volume values listed in the JSON, and then saves it as a SunVox file. This works perfectly. Now, in ZGE, I’m trying to get the base volume of each module. That’s why I was wondering if I c...

Hello. I found someone to make the music for my game. He’s excellent at composing, but not so good at naming the tracks and instrument modules... { "gc1": { "sunsynth": "gc1.sunsynth", "volume": 400, "transpose": 24 }, "cc1": { "sunsyn...

I believe OpenGL isn't working properly on Android during the first frame (OnLoaded). We already had a problem with that when retrieving the screen resolution via glGetIntegerv , and I believe there was another issue I can’t find on the forum. So now, I set glGetUniformLocation to an int during the ...

It's weird that it returns 0, it should be -1 when something is wrong. I know, right? Using this in App.OnLoaded isn't working either on Android: @UseMaterial(Material: DemoMaterial); @RenderMesh(Mesh: DemoMesh); DemoLocations[0] = glGetUniformLocation(DemoShader.Handle, "x"); DemoLocatio...

switch the example to ES2/GL3, the shaders need to be re-written That is exactly what I did :lol: I added text to your example to see what's going on, and another shader that isn't using values x and y. On PC, the glGetUniformLocation values are 1 and 2. Screenshot 2025-07-11 172308.png On Android,...

Thanks Kjell. Did you use ES2/GL3 for both the PC and Android version? My game is ES2/GL3 only, and it's one project for all the targets, so yes :wink: here's an example using glGetUniformLocation I was indeed using it wrong. But the result is the same with your example: it crashes hard on Android. ...

So I wrote a shader that jitter the vertices, so several copies of a single model looks different. On PC, the models are jittered, and they all look different. But on android, the models are jittered, but they all look the same... In order to see that better, I applied a color based on the model per...

Oh yeah, now I remember wasting hours with mscdex.exe and command-line just to get the CD-ROM working so I could reinstall Windows 95
