SCiENCE, I think you might have broken the function TEsound.play(list) or something?
I made a list as such:
Code: Select all
list = {"assets/music/matryoshkachorus.mp3",
"assets/music/senbonzakurachorus.mp3",
"assets/music/noushouchorus.mp3",
"assets/music/headphoneactorchorus.mp3",
"assets/music/nyanchorus.mp3",
"assets/music/rimokonchorus.mp3",
}
and tried to run "TEsound.play(list)", and it gave me this error:

Hey,
sorry for the later answer, i was on vacation.
You first have to make a Sounddata from this.
Like this, and than pass it to the play function.
Code: Select all
love.sound.newSoundData("sfx.wav")
I made this because it's totally stupid to reload a sound from disk every time you want to play it!
Also I disabled playback of tables. Just remove the -- before "if type ...". I don't know why I made this, maybe there where some errors.
Code: Select all
-- arrays not supported, because loading of sounds had to be done before
-- if type(sound) == "table" then sound = sound[math.random(#sound)] end

I don't understand then.
How would I incorporate my list then, when I want to play it randomized?

Randomize before you pass the soundeffect to TESound.
Code: Select all
list = {
[1]="assets/music/matryoshkachorus.mp3",
[2]="assets/music/senbonzakurachorus.mp3",
[3]="assets/music/noushouchorus.mp3",
[4]="assets/music/headphoneactorchorus.mp3",
[5]="assets/music/nyanchorus.mp3",
[6]="assets/music/rimokonchorus.mp3",
}
local soundnumber = math.random( #list)
TEsound.play( love.sound.newSoundData( list[soundnumber] ) , "sfx")
But better is to load all soundeffects at the start of the game using "love.sound.newSoundData" and than later in your game pass this SoundData to TEsound.play . My sample is bad, because every time you play a sound, your sound is loaded and converted to SoundData and than in TESound converted to a audio "Source".
Something like this:
Code: Select all
local loadedsounds = {}
for k,v in pairs(list) do
table.insert(loadedsounds, k, love.sound.newSoundData(v) )
end
--later in the game use this to play a sound
local soundnumber = math.random( #loadedsounds )
TEsound.play( loadedsounds[ soundnumber ] , "sfx")

It's only playing the 5th index.
Even with your combined code.

You should use love.math.random, it is seeded on startup.

Oh yes, or initialize the lua generator like this.
Code: Select all
-- Initialize the pseudo random number generator
-- The first random number you get is not really 'randomized' (at least in Windows 2K and OS X).
-- To get better pseudo-random number just pop some random number before using them for real:
math.randomseed(os.time())
math.random(); math.random(); math.random()

I just want to post here to say thanks for creating TEsound.
It's so easy and handy and wonderful!

Is there a way to get the current playtime of a song?
