Basic FMOD Ex support (patch included)

[k0da]

Try applying it under src/sound/. This is the first patch I've ever created and was made using TortiseSVN, so I can't really give any more advice. Also keep in mind that at this stage my patches are experimental and really only intended for programmers. For instance, I haven't bothered patching the VC++ project and makefiles or even bothered to mention to remove fmodsound.cpp from the build process.

When I next put up some patches, I'll try and make them easier for non-programmers. I can't make any promises though. Neil has sent me his work on the Mac port, so that takes high priority.

Changes since last patch:
- 3D sound
- Fixes for Linux and Mac OS X
- Removal of internal FLAC loader in anticipation of new FMOD Ex release

Mini-todo for next patch:
- Examine 3D code for bugs
- Implement speaker selection for 3D software output
- Fix MUS playback on Mac OS X (hopefully this fix will stop music stuttering for Nash too)
- Test under Linux if I can be bothered installing it
- Update projects and makefiles if I have time

could we get a new build of this then with the new changes (ed sound etc?) thanks.

[k0da]

Yes, but it will have to wait until the new version of FMOD Ex is out and I've finished the things I'm working at the moment. The FMOD guys make new releases every few weeks, so it shouldn't be too long.

FMOD Ex 4.06.22 (STABLE). Released 22nd June 2007

Was this the version you where waiting for k0da? Oh, if your looking for mac testing there are several in our art department from imacs to mac book pros that i can use for testing on the mac side when ready.

[k0da]

No, because they haven't updated FLAC in the stable branch. I haven't tested the development branch on Windows yet, but they didn't appear to have updated FLAC on the Mac dev version I tried. I don't have a net connection at the moment, so I haven't got around to hassling the FMOD guys about this. I will download the newer dev releases and try them at home.

Testing on more Macs would be great, but I need to try and resolve some issues with the Mac version before I put up test builds. The PowerPC version is crashing and mouse looking is buggy for instance. My house mate has a G3 which I will use for PowerPC debugging once he's re-installed OS X on it.

My primary machine is an iBook G4 in case you'd like me to test your builds as well.

hmm, i applied your patch to the latest SVN (r545) , (i had to do it all manually), and i get this error

is this normal or should i wait for a newer patch?

[k0da]

I've fixed that, but I don't want to put any time frame on the release of the next patch as I have little free time ATM.

[Lemonzest]

any news on this? its been a while.

[earbenT]

More than likely not, but we can always hope! Keep us posted, k0da.

[Xaser]

Ooh, reverb settings? I like... ;P


Anyhow, I wonder how long until this has a chance of being imported into standard ZDoom. If anything I'd like to see resonant filters properly used... the most complex .IT modules fail in ZDoom currently and I'm a module freak so any improvement is a good thing, in my opinion.

MOD playback in FMOD sucks really badly. Some time ago I found out that it was causing even worse problems on my system that went far beyond acceptable. So I investigated into alternatives, found ModPlug and for testing purposes added it to GZDoom. Imagine my surprise when I found that 3 songs I really liked but had shitty quality in ZDoom (due to FMOD) suddenly sounded much, much better! That's why I added this code to the GZDoom SVN as an alternative to play MODs.

I offered this code to Randy but he declined and instead suggested to contact the FMOD developers to have it fixed.
