TEsound - simple, easy sound/music manager

[Codex]

Can someone upload a simple .love file showing how to use this?

Can someone upload a simple .love file showing how to use this?

It'd look like this:

main.lua

Code: Select all

require "TEsound.lua"

function love.load()
end

function love.update(dt)
  TEsound.play("sounds/beep.ogg"

  TEsound.cleanup()
end

function love.draw()
end

Include "TEsound.lua" and "beep.ogg" on same directory and it'll play a beep nonstop.

I have a problem with TEsound... Basically, the first time I play a certain sound it takes a while to load (like 3 seconds), but after that, I can play it all the time.

Is there any way to preload the sound? Here's what I'm doing on love.load():

Code: Select all

mineralSound = love.sound.newSoundData("sounds/plink.ogg")

And on love.update():

Code: Select all

TEsound.play(mineralSound)
TEsound.cleanup()

I have lots of other code, but it's more or less like that.

Thank you!

(playing the sound when the game opens works, but that's not really a good way around it, because it implies putting the volume to 0, and then set the volume again.)

How can I solve it nicely?

Tried to use this a little while ago. .ogg files seem to convert differently than other files? I was trying to loop a 15 sec bgm over and over again. The result was some tangled mesh of the former song...



(edit: I just tried switching the bgm to a mp3 and it sounded the same??? - )

Hi, is TEsound updated to work with 0.9?

And is there any way to start a sound playing from a certain point? (I want to jump to a 'parallel' version of the same song when the game is paused.)

Yes it is compatible to 0.9

And is there any way to start a sound playing from a certain point? (I want to jump to a 'parallel' version of the same song when the game is paused.)

I am not sure, but one way would be to edit it on the audio file, ie have the file start where you want it to start.

Bug: It seems like TEsound.play() can't handle tables at all.

I modified TEsound to support audio sources. This way you can modify audio sources via the LÖVE source commands for positional Audio. You can change Pitch and maybe implement the OpenAL Doppler Effect.

I also introduced this switches to globally enable or disable sounds/music (Streams).

Code: Select all

TEsound.sound = true
TEsound.music = true

OpenAL EFXs are currently not supported.

Is this (or can it be) on github? I would love to contribute and track changes!

It's on github as i posted https://github.com/SiENcE/love2d_gamete ... Esound.lua

But currently only in my game template. I create another github tomorrow for only TESound, so you can contribute. Ok ?
