Yet another FMOD question...
by John Carroll · in Torque 3D Professional · 11/01/2011 (2:25 pm) · 5 replies
Currently, we allow users to create a sound effect (mono, position-able) and then we do the things necessary to allow them to play the sound from any given direction at any given distance. Can I do this with FMOD, or can I suspend FMOD and allow a sound that is not in the sound bank to do the same? We don't allow the sound to be added at runtime, it is always done before starting torque, and we don't use the torque UI, we use a different web based UI that allows the user to select the sound and it's position in relation to the control object in torque. This allows us to create scripts which will then be run by torque on startup. I say this because if there's a way to cause this to happen automatically, we have the time to do it before starting torque.

Why would you want to use AL? If Fmod is the sound provider, it'll play any soundFile with an audioProfile/description that T3D has, in the normal way.
Whilst I have Fmod Ex from GG, I use it as Audio Provider - I don't use Fmod Designer as that's out of my price league.

Not sure I get what you're going at ...Why would you want to use AL? If Fmod is the sound provider, it'll play any soundFile with an audioProfile/description that T3D has, in the normal way.

So, a sound need not be in the .fev file? If so, then that answers my question, thanks!!!
