Dll to play .ogg in gamemaker 6?

[pythonpoole]

I know this isn't an answer but what is ogg anyway, i see it in my video editor and on macs.. but i'm confused to what the format actually is, and what program you use to play it.

[borgcuby]

Ogg is a kind of modern sound.

I want this so i can play the unreal tournament 2004 music...

[pythonpoole]

Ever thought of a converter?

[borgcuby]

i have looked everywere, i cant find one

[pythonpoole]

oh well. my video creator can convert them to .wav or any video format if u want like .wmv, .mov, .avi etc. You could pm them to me, but i cant do it today, cause its really late and its on my other comp, but i can try to get them done for you tomorrow

dont use ut2004 music, they will sue you

ogg is very small, and a lot better quality than mp3.

[pythonpoole]

@catdaemon, they wont sue unless your sell your game and u start to make big big bucks... and also... i don't think it would loose much quality converted to .wav with my Movie Edit Pro 2005, but we can always find out.

You can play ogg esly with MCI commands

[borgcuby]

Just an dll, i dont have an example of MCI things

I believe the SXMS dll should play your ogg music

yep it does
but still say you can play ogg esey with gm

load the file
MCI_command("OPEN "+chr(34)+file+chr(34)+" Type MPEGVIDEO ALIAS OGG")

play the sound
MCI_command("play OGG from 0")

pause the dound
MCI_command("pause OGG")

resume the sound
MCI_command("resume OGG")

Stop the sound
MCI_command("stop OGG")

Free the sound from memorie
MCI_command("close OGG")

now you can change OGG to sound1 sound2 .... whatever and have more then one sound playing at the same time
This code play wav and mp3 too

Now did you still need a dll ????

My Super Sound System dll can play ogg files. Look in the pinned topic.

[Mr.Dude]

you happen to have Pinnacle InstantAudio? there's a ogg dll there however i dunno if it's any use

[MaJoRa]

Here is a dll of mine that i recently made for that purpose, it has very simple commands that will play ogg, it also can play modules, mp3s, wav, avi, mpeg ect:

Mediadll.zip

It only has simple, play, stop and such controls with ogg, but i think it would do...

MCI will only play ogg if the computer has that codec installed. In my experience, MCI could not play ogg, however, I'm not using the latest version of WMP, which MCI is based a lot on, apparently. For a game, I would not recommend using MCI, since it's so computer (software) dependant. I personally would use a DLL, however, if you just want OGG support, I do NOT recommend using SXMS2, since it is a bit complex for something so trivial.

Of course, why not try learning the OGG format and parsing it yourself =P.
