Hello,

Since this is mainly for programmers, I'm 99% sure almost noone will use this, but I've written a small PureBasic wrapper for FreeSL, an OpenAL wrapper which adds some very nice features, such as EAX effects (you can play sounds in various environments, such as cave, bathroom, stone corridor, etc).
One not so secret reason is, because this may end up being a part of PureAudio, my 2d audio engine, and then later on Pro Audio Tennis 2012 (which is, as Dark said otherwise in a topic, not being coded in BGT, btw).
You can get it from the PureBasic section on my site

Well, this made me take a look at freeSL, and I saw this comment in one of the samples:

    // Note: the sound must be recorded in MONO format, or EAX and 3D positioning will not work
I find this hilarious considering that the exact opposite has been true with stereo positioning in java (I think BGT as well?).
Java does have a mixer that can position mono sounds in stereo, but depending on the system it might take doing to access.

In any case, freeSL looks considerably less head-explody than anything else I've seen on the topic. If I were any good at pure basic I'd be quite interested in your wrapper.

看過來!

Hi Cae,
FSL has no problem positioning a mono sound in stereo, but a stereo sound can't be positioned in 3d. This is true for all the 3d engines (DirectX is one example, which I believe BGT is using right now).
Yes, PureBasic is well worth learning, actually. Not only because of this, but the shear amount of possibilities it has.
If you are familiar with programming, I would certainly choose it over BGT.

Hi,

As I said in its topic, if I have any information to share, I definitely will.
At the moment, I can't say more. Sorry.
