Super Sound System
for GM 5.0 and above
Version 3.4
by tsg1zzn: trondsg@gmail.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:

• Plays Ogg Vorbis and Wav
• Very easy to use
• Change frequency
• Change volume
• Change panning
• Play once or loop.
• Set/get the current playback frequency (per sound). Great for car engine sounds.
• Set/get the current volume (per sound).
• Set/get the current panning (per sound).
• Load and unload sounds at need.
• Check if a sound is playing once, playing looped, paused or stopped.
• Set and get the position of a playing, looping or paused sound.
• Get the length of a sound.

Version 3.4 is an update that adds sound streaming (from disk) and there should be no more crashes if SS_Unload() is called on game end.

Important note regarding version 3.2 and above: Some scripts that previously returned -1 on failure now returns an error code less than 0 (-1 or -2) on failure, so change your code to check for a value less than 0 instead of -1 for these scripts.

Download link for version 3.4:

The dll is free to use for both free and commercial games.

Awesome tsg1zzn, simple to use and has the functions I need. Not to overcomplicated too. Anyone that needs an ogg vorbis only dll should get this instead of Shaltif's.

This is a great dll, I wonder why this topic got so little replies, you saved my a** Now i can play OGG in TUC2. Thanx dude .

EDIT: Can you add a function to check if a sound is playing?

Hello,

Anyone that needs an ogg vorbis only dll should get this instead of Shaltif's.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Indeed. I considered using Shaltif's SXMS DLL but it's way too complicated for just playing *.ogg. This DLL is going to be really useful

EDIT: Can you add a function to check if a sound is playing?

I'm for that too. That would very handy

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'll try, but don't expect too much. No guarantees at all.

[pythonpoole]

I have no and take no responsibilities for the results of improper or proper usage in case this usage results in problems, included, but not limited to; damage, poisoning, terror attacks, vomit on floor, worm in apple, virus in any place, windows in doors, non-working or partially defect breakes, power outage or emtpy swimming pools.

Thats not fair.. my swimming pool is empty.... I don't like this agreement.... what he says he doesn't take responsibility for actually does happen btw i also have a window in a door

[tsg1zzn]

For those of you who are waiting for a function to check if a sound is playing:

I am working on it. In fact it works already. I'm just going to add some extra goodies like position check and set before release.

EDIT: Ok, release in 5 minutes.

It's because it works. If it trew a lot of errors you can bet hundreds of people would have flooded the topic with "it doesn't work for me either" within a minute.

[NetCept]

is this dll compitable with Boosteds engine?

[tsg1zzn]

I have no idea what Boosteds engine is. Maybe if you told me, I could answer.

[scream681]

DO you need to call the dll to stop functioning at the game end? All the other dlls needed, but it seems like this one dont have a function for stopping its function. Does it unload the files when the game ends?

Ah, so very good - You're saving me 200kb download size on my game by letting me use OGGs! Now in the credits of Scoperta Solare!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As long as the game executable is not running, nothing stays in memory. So don't worry, be happy.

[GmDude66]

if this could play .mp3's of any bitrate/sampling rate i would download it right away. ummm shaltifs if to confusing for just making a mp3 player...

[Tetria]

I agree with GmDude66, but any way. I've been wondering how to have ajustable volume for awhile. And now I have more than that. This is a definate must have.

[armigus]

GmDude, you can convert your mp3 files to ogg. Mp3 Ogg Lab can do the job for free. Then SuperSound can play your music.

[Aqwilla]

Does this have 3D sound? This would be usefful for GM 5,x games since this Gm doesint have this funcion...

[tsg1zzn]

It doesn't have 3d sound support. Only left/right panning.

[Aqwilla]

So you can make it, can you?
