Thanks, both of you. So here's my last zsfxr test, which preloads 100 sounds (10 sounds per type, but tone isn't the most interesting). I deactivated the Random sounds and the Right click mutation. During the initialization of the sound, as suggested by Kjell, I'm playing them once, all while checki...

Thanks Ville. I think I'm getting pretty good at randomly finding bugs in ZGE :lol: So, setting the buffer.SizeDim1 before the sample.Length seems to fix the crash that could occur during the initialization. (I update the project above) buffer.SizeDim1 = S + 1; // Set buffer size MySampleIndex = 0; ...

So I tried to initialize a bunch of sounds when starting the app, but there's something wrong with it and I don't know where... So I'm wondering if I can really pass a Sample as a variable in a function, then do a RefreshContent on that variable, or if I messed up somewhere else with the calculation...

There was an idea to add some kind of high-level wizard interface on top of this. Something like SFXR. I remember that Kjell even had a prototype of this. Is that right, Kjell? After playing with sfxr and seeing the limitations, I would be more than happy to see that, and to help to make it, if nee...

With the new method, I still had to add a little +1 to prevent crashing. But it's running just fine :wink: buffer.SizeDim1 = S + 1; // Set buffer size MySampleIndex = 0; That's because SFXR uses doubles ( 64-bit floating point ) for some variables, which is something ZGE doesn't support. So I trimme...

Hahaha, I've fallen into a new loophole. All right. So from what I understand, the buffer size should be equal to the sample lenght, right? float S = SampleLength(); // Get the sample length float L = S/44100; // Get the sample length in seconds // MySound.Length = L; // Set the Sound component leng...

Following Kjell's concerns about the amount of time the generation of the sound can take, I made an example that runs all the sounds presets of jsfxr. 0 key = pickupCoin 1 key = laserShoot 2 key = explosion 3 key = powerUp 4 key = hitHurt 5 key = jump 6 key = blipSelect 7 key = synth 8 key = tone 9 ...

it would have been nice if ZGE exposed the audio interface ( DirectSound on Windows ) so you don't have to run a second interface Oh, ok, I get it. Alternatively, how could I import several sfx sounds without having to loop on each file to read their data? Maybe I could simply copy/paste the serial...

I quickly updated Kjell's example, as ZGE isn't happy anymore with names being the same as components File:File, Sound:Sound and Sample:Sample. Weirdly enough, KeyPress:KeyPress isn't an issue. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Captio...

It was just an idea to improve the UX. If it's much more complicated than simply updating an external library, forget about it

Thanks. So I tried to replace included SynEdit by the new one, but it's not that simple :lol: Here's what I did: Install Delphi RADStudio Download ZGameEditor: https://github.com/VilleKrumlinde/zgameeditor Fix drive letter in the project: ZDesigner.dproj line 67: <DCC_DcuOutput>t:\temp\zge</DCC_DcuO...

The double-click to select an entire word is already implemented. Is it possible to add a triple-click to select an entire paragraph? I'm not sure if this requires custom programming or if it's an option in the ZDesigner project settings. I'll take a look at the source code. In the meantime, we can ...

Hello. I'm still trying to make "simple" shaders from time to time :lol: So today I'm trying to port that one to ZGE: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8166384/how-to-get-a-glow-shader-effect-in-opengl-es-2-0 Since I'm not using textures, I was trying to do that directly with the vertex ...

All right, I managed to convert the dither example to ES2/GL3: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" GLBase="1" LightPosition="0.25 1 0.5" FileVersion="2"> <OnLoade...

And just to show that even with 24-bit you need to keep your clipping range in check :wink: Thanks for the heads-up, Kjell! I always wondered why the planets with rings had severe z-order problems (but not on NVIDIA video cards). Turns out that the camera filming them is ranging from ClipNear 0.1 t...
