The Amiga Elite had the best presentation in my opinion. The music and sounds were great!

The music and sounds were great, yeah, but what posessed Mr. Micro to put that garish surround around the viewscreen...?

The docking sequence was lovely too...

I actually thought it was a pretty cool touch. True that it cut out a lot of viewspace, but the "snake" motif went well with the ship's name.

Unfortunately, I think what I ended up will will not fix the problem, but cause slightly different errors. However, these errors should be handled slightly more gracefully. I’ve yet to see an error report for 1.64 confirming this, though. :-/

Not wanting to open up another thread, i thought I'd attach an audio type question here. Is there a way at present to attach a sound with a given keypress, such as when pressing target missile "T" then an audio file will play the linked "missile targeted" or similar? similar to what was on X-Elite. Ive been playing about with a voice synch software that i have which saves in any format, and would like to give it a try if possible.

Oh. I just emailed the oolite-devs list with one.

Code: Select all

/Volumes/teak/Users/giles/development/GUSTO/src/Cocoa/OOCASoundChannel.m:575: failed assertion `kState_Playing == _state'

Gave me a quick exit from Oolite just earlier. And the Sound Inspector window appears unexpectedly too.

A custom event sounds system is in place and is being expanded for the next release. You'll be able to add custom sounds to replace a large number of beeps and boops - see customsounds.plist in the latest SVN builds for more details of which events are currently looked at for custom sounds.

There’s an oolite-devs list?

That’s not the “more graceful” code, though. That’s the “fixed” code. :-)

*Looks*

Ahh, I guess that could happen if a sound is sent -stop between actually stopping and the channel being recycled… that case now gracefully handled. It’s quite possible that the sound code now actually works.

Oops. Switched that off now.

Nice. It’d be good to do the same for music, though – the Amiga sound pack uses identical, relatively large files for docking and loading music.

(That last comment was supposed to be in another thread, but hey.)

I’ve now checked in those fixes. A useful detail to remember.

I'm modifying the sound mods I've been doing to work with the custom sounds changes in the last few days. The game really sounds cool with more sounds :-)

Incidentally, this was not a facetious question.

Yeah, the oolite-linux-devs list at berlios.de - there should be a sign up option if you log in and go to the oolite-linux summary page.
