well really if i were to begin programming i would also do that especially since i might not know anything about uploading stuff. not professional, but easy enough.
well the frequency is right, but you could also have a number of loops, the last loop going faster and faster the higher level you go, but change the music on the first levels and once the player reaches a certain level or gets a certain amount of points there is a loop which goes faster the higher you go. but again this takes up more space but makes the game a bit more interesting. the same was with acefire actually, there was a loop always, but a different loop if the player dropped below 30% and another different one if the player dropped below 10%.

as reguards frequencey changes, I'd personally like to see a boppit type game that really does increase in speed. Boppit Extreme and advanced both get up to a certain speed, then stop increasing, causing the game to lose some of it's challenge. So I agree with Arjan, a number of loops, but also implimenting frequencey changes to allow the game speed to increase significantly.

As reguards where you put the files, professional or not, I'm afraid I haven't even heard of Skipe before, so personally I'd prefer them on iether an Ftp download or something like Yousendit.

Btw, Damian, I told my musician friend about what you said reguarding Yousendit, and he was rather surpriset, sinse he's been using the service for a while and not encountered any of the sort of problems you mentioned, ---- maybe it was just a temporary bodge up on their part?

I know what you mean about the frequencey increase, and squeky sound effects would not be a good thing. I just hope you'll be able to get the game running at a sufficient speed by increasing the Tempi of the midi files.

If you don't fancy using Yousendit or similar services, and if it's not possible for you to send beta testers the game any other way, you could see about temporarily borrowing space on somebody else's site ----- perhaps for a day, just long enough for the testers to be able to downloadd the game files, sinse there are so many sites around here devoted to improving the celection of audio games, I'm sure somebody could lend you the space to upload the file on a temporary basis.

Incripting Boppit extreme wavs? That sounds terrifyingly technical to me.

At risk of having you run after me with a big stick, how about having two modes, original boppit mode with the Wavs and speed mode with high tempo Mp3's, that way even people who already owned a boppit extreme would get something new out of the programme (other than the convenience of having Boppit on your computer of course).

I'm very sorry if I'm suggesting something completely ludicrous from a technical point of view, there are newts swimming in the lake outside my room who know more about practical programming than I do.

maybe, like i said i may just do my own version that may speed up etc, but as long as i'm using bop it extreme sounds i won't be able to.

i have to sort out a few major errors before i can even think about changing the sounds, etc.

aaron are you mad?
a. don't you mean 1 kb for a rhythm? and
b. don't you think if i could use midis i would? it'd be a lot easier - but as it is called comaudio and not commmidi, i'm afraid i can't. lol.

hello,

talking about sending the games when you use windows you will not have a problem of the firewall issue.
I have tried windows messanger and haven't had any trouble with it.

Hmmm, these both sound like good ideas to me, hopefully from your new site beta testers will be able to download the game?

when you've got things up and running, and the game needs some testing, please give me a yell (provided you think I could vaguely be some use of course) , iether here, or on my E-mail [email protected].

hello damien

just for your information, you can actualy use midy files with direct x, it's called direct music, it's much better than API's and much,much better than the idea of using com audio
anyway, good luck with the game

if the beta testing position is still open may I please become a tester for bopit extreme? Thanks very much and if you have AIM, my screen name is electrode1199.

Can i be a beta tester?
