Volume

#1 PS. I actually have another audio related question.

My audio had worked fine for sometime, however now, it does not run at all on the device when it did before. I am unsure of how to trouble shoot this. Any tips would be appreciated.

Just some background:
-It occasionally plays in the editor and occasionally does not.
-I had originally worked in 1.3 but moved over to 1.4. Should it matter?
- I am using the audio description and audio profile behaviors from TDN.
- my audio files are the correct format and in location.


I have posted all my scripts below just in case.
Thanks if you are able to help.



audio.cs file

$DefaultAudioType = 0;
$GuiAudioType = 1;
$SimAudioType = 2;
$MusicAudioType = 3;

new AudioDescription(AudioNonLooping)
{
   volume = 1.0;
   isLooping = false;
};


new AudioDescription(AudioLooping)
{
	$volume = 1.0;
   $volume1Looping = 1.0;
   isLooping = true;
   isStreaming = true;
   is3D = false; 
   type = $GuiAudioType;  
};


new AudioProfile(mainFeature)
{
   filename = "~/data/audio/mainFeature.wav";
   description = "AudioLooping";
   preload = true;
};

audio profile, taken from TDN

if (!isObject(AudioDescriptionBehavior))
{
    %template = new BehaviorTemplate( AudioDescriptionBehavior );
   
    %template.friendlyName = "Audio Description";
    %template.behaviorType = "Audio";
    %template.description  = "Creates a new AudioDescription when this object is loaded.";
  
    %template.addBehaviorField( name, "Name for this Audio Description", string , "AudioLooping"   );
    %template.addBehaviorField( volume,      "Volume", float ,  1.0  );  
    %template.addBehaviorField( isLooping,   "Looping", bool ,   1  );
    %template.addBehaviorField( is3D,        "3D", bool ,   0  );
    %template.addBehaviorField( isStreaming, "Streaming", bool ,   0  );
    %template.addBehaviorField( preload,     "Preload", bool ,   0  );
    %template.addBehaviorField( type,        "Channel ( 1 - 8 )", int ,   1  );
   
} 
 

function AudioDescriptionBehavior::onBehaviorAdd(%this){ 
      
  if (!isobject( %this.name ) )
    new AudioDescription(  %this.name  ) { 
   };
   
   
  %this.name.volume       =  %this.volume ;
  %this.name.isLooping    =  %this.isLooping;
  %this.name.is3D         =  %this.is3D;
  %this.name.isStreaming  =  %this.isStreaming ; 
  %this.name.preload      =  %this.preload ;
  %this.name.type         =  %this.type;   
  
  
}
 
function AudioDescriptionBehavior::onRemoveFromScene(%this){ 
    
}

audio profile again taken directly from TDN

if (!isObject(AudioMainFeatureBehavior))
{
   %template = new BehaviorTemplate( AudioMainFeatureBehavior );
   
   %template.friendlyName = "Audio mainFeature";
   %template.behaviorType = "Audio";
   %template.description  = "Creates a new AudioProfile when this object is loaded.";
  
   %template.addBehaviorField( name, "Name for this audio profile", string , "mainFeature22050"   );
   %template.addBehaviorField( filename, "File name for the audio file in your data/audio directory.", string , "mainFeature22050.wav"   );
   %template.addBehaviorField( volume, "The default volume", float ,  1.0  );
   %template.addBehaviorField( description, "The Audio Description to use", string , "AudioLooping"  );
   
} 
 

function AudioMainFeatureBehavior::onBehaviorAdd(%this){  
  if (!isObject( %this.name ) ){ 
    new AudioProfile(  %this.name  ){
      volume   =  %this.volume ;
      filename = "~/data/audio/" @ %this.filename  ;  
      description =  %this.description;       
    }; 
  }  
  %this.playSound();
}
 

function AudioMainFeatureBehavior::playSound(%this)
{
	echo("inPlaySound!!!!!!!!!!");
	alxPlay(%this.name);
}

function AudioMainFeatureBehavior::onRemoveFromScene(%this)
{ 
    alxStop(%this.name);

}

#2 Rennie, volume problem thread:

#3 Thank you Scott.


I remember seeing volume set to 0.8 somewhere but forgot where.


Thanks.

#4 I hate to bump this but I am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot/fix this.


This set up WAS working, I am not sure what could have changed. One object with an audioProfile behavior and audioDescription behavior attached.


-my files exist as wav's in the game/data/audio folder. The behavior calls for the file from that position "~/data/audio".
-echos show that the command alxPlay is being called.
-echos show the filename is being called
- I have tried setting all preload, streaming and 3d as true. but none have worked.



If you have any ideas at all as to how I might go about remedying this please mention.

Cheers.

#5 I found
<UsesAudio></UsesAudio>
in the commonConfig, I set it to
<UsesAudio>1</UsesAudio>

but still no audio.

Any clues, greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
