vbscript = suck by default.

I'm satisfied since its smaller and faster than loading up the python console.

Yes, it can. Put it in standard mode and there's a specific button for it. In scientific mode, just do n [x^y] 0.5.

again.

Ok, there ought to be something basic it can't do.

Divide by zero

So I managed to compile ZDoom this afternoon, however, sound was less than stellar. Sometimes it dropped out, and was generally very scratchy.

Make the sound sample rate larger

Then I didn't get any sound. Sometimes ZDoom would have sound, sometimes it wouldn't, and sometimes it just dropped out.

Adjust it to about 48000 so that it doesn't lag and doesn't crackle.

@QBasicer: Make sure you use OSS for sound output (snd_output oss), fmod's ALSA output is ugly.

Why are we still using FMod anyways? Does it work on 64bit Linux without a hitch? It seems FMod is a bit deprecated isn't it?

Unless I'm mistaken, there is someone who has started work on a fmodex port of ZDoom.

FMOD (Ex) is hands down the best sound API avaliable. SDL Mixer, OpenAL, ect just don't have the ease of use and features of FMOD. FMOD 3 lacks Linux 64 bit support, but it has been added to FMOD Ex.

Not much has changed since my last patch except some untested 3D sound code, plus Mac and Linux fixes. I'll do another update when I have a home net connection again and can rectify some issues with the Mac version of FMOD Ex. I will actually need some feedback from Linux users/developers at some stage too, instead of pointless whining about the state of FMOD 3.
