It looks like preload in AudioProfile doesn't work

by SysRat · in iTorque 2D · 08/30/2011 (5:54 am) · 4 replies

I have a lot of actions in my game based on iTorque 1.5 Preview2 and when one of the objects explodes, sound effect plays (alxPlay("mysound")). I have preload = true in the AudioProfile, but when the sound plays the game begins slow down. When I call this sound one more time everything is ok and the game doesn't slow down.

Agreed, I've noticed this in my games as well.

I've seen this too, in 1.4.1 which I'm currently using.

Strange. I don't think I have time to address this for the 1.5 final, but if you are able to dig up anymore information I can look into it.

Had a very quick look ...

audio.cc has a method "prepareContext" that *would* appear to do the preload.

Can't see that it is ever called though.
