Sound Upgrade

Download Code File

Install instructions:

- Download the attached zip;
- Delete all files in the engine\audio directory;
- Decompress (or copy) all zip stuff into your torque directory, overwrite when asked;
- Apply the patch (created by using the HEAD version);
- Add lib\vorbis\win32\ogg_static.lib and lib\vorbis\win32\vorbisfile_static.lib to your project linker;
- Remove ambientAudioManager.cc and ambientAudioManager.h from compilation;
- Remove all the engine\audio files from project and add only the files included in this packet;

How it works:
It centralize all the audio functions into a global object called AudioManager, you can check the included audioEmitter.cc to see how can you directly use the interface.

It also includes a oldaudio.cc file that is a wrapper to the new interface, this way you can still use the alxNNNN() functions where needed, example:

void alxListenerMatrixF(const MatrixF *transform, const Point3F *velocity)
{
   AudioManager->setListenerTransform(transform, velocity);
}

* Note that this is an old code, the audio layer is being rewritten from scratch to support multiple API's such as DirectSound and OpenAL. This code is also windows only, but should't be difficult to port it by adapting the platform audio.

* If you have problems on windows XP please download the default latest openal here and put in your game directory, also you will need to delete your original OpenAL32.dll from System32 directory so the game can run the supplied one.
