UPDATE 1.4
Adds an api to get the 3d max distance to compare with in order to decide to play a 3d sound and save on instances.
Fixes the SampleListenerObj passing listener ID 0 instead of ID 1

[icuurd12b42]

UPDATE 1.5
Added FMODInstanceSet3dMinMax FMODIntanceSet3dCone and FMODInstanceSet3dDoppler

When you add support for spectrum (ie leading to visualizations), I will be very happy. SXMS is quite bloated indeed =P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well, I said I would not do it but what the hay...Hey!?


Version 1.6 is out

Uses the latest FMOD 4.08.08
Fixed a Stack Fault in FMODInstanceGetSound caused by sample code not commented out. The code showing how to use the function was calling the function LOL Kaboom. I recommend updating to fix the problem...

New
FMODSoundGetNumChannels() to see if the sound is mono/stereo or other...

FMODInstanceGetMaxDist(double instance) useful to go with the new InstanceSet3dMinMax added in earlier version

FMODInstanceGetWaveSnapshot(). Well, it's in... You can draw your wave or snoop at the data.

FMODInstanceGetSpectrumSnapshot(). Similar to wave but for the spectrum... The volume at different frequencies for the laymen...

FMODGroupGetWaveSnapshot(). Same as for instance but for the sound group (Slower. use with care)

FMODGroupGetSpectrumSnapshot(). Same as for instance but for the sound group (Slower. use with care)

Cool. but I suggest you get this latest fix.



UPDATE 1.6.1
Fixed wave data clipping problem.... FMOD has a little bug returning values beyond "forum" documented values (playing missionimpossible.mid), causing the wave to clip. I had to double check the buffer to prevent this from happening.

I split the simple functions into individual more complete methods to satisfy most needs.
Added
FMODInstanceGetWaveSnapshot2
FMODInstanceGetSpectrumSnapshot2
FMODGroupGetWaveSnapshot2
FMODGroupGetSpectrumSnapshot2
FMODNormalizeSpectrumData
FMODNormalizeWaveData
FMODGetSnapshotEntry
FMODGetWaveBuffer
FMODGetSpectrumBuffer

These functions will give more control over the data fetched, and adds/allows using normailisation on wave form data. And gives easy access to every bit of the data, either spectrum or wave. Though I do recommend using the string buffer version which is faster. Using the #2 versions of the functions plus The included normalisation and the included GetBuffer function is almost as fast as the original functions... But using the added "simpler to use" FMODGetSnapshotEntry will be costly.


FIX/UPDATE 1.6.2
Ooops, last update used the wrong dll with FMOD effects commented out...

I was finally able to access my account on host-a.net. So the host-a and the hostforfood are now the same file

It was excellent... I was looking for something like this. And this does everything I wanted and more.

[icuurd12b42]

You better do something cool with it

Hey, i'm having problems with the FMODInstanceIsPlaying script. I put this code in the alarm 1 event to check wether the music is playing, and if it isn't to play a random song.

if FMODInstanceIsPlaying(music) = 0
{
FMODSoundFree(music);
music = FMODSoundAdd(choose('music\track1.mp3','music\track2.mp3','music\track3.mp3','music\track4.mp3','music\track5.mp3','music\track6.mp3','music\track7.mp3'));
FMODSoundSetGroup(music,3);
FMODSoundSetMaxVolume(music,global.music_volume);
FMODSoundPlay(music);
}

alarm[1] = 60;

But even if the music is playing, FMODInstanceIsPlaying always returns zero, so every second a new song starts. Please help

[icuurd12b42]

try

if FMODInstanceIsPlaying(instance) = 0
{
FMODSoundFree(music);
music = FMODSoundAdd(choose('music\track1.mp3','music\track2.mp3','music\track3.mp3','music\track4.mp3','music\track5.mp3','music\track6.mp3','music\track7.mp3'));
FMODSoundSetGroup(music,3);
FMODSoundSetMaxVolume(music,global.music_volume);
instance = FMODSoundPlay(music);
}

in create
music = 0;
instance = 0;

[piedude04]

awesome thanks, works great!

[Mordi]

Yay. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Question: Is there any way to add (fading) pan to 3d sounds? I found the "ListenerHearDistanceOnly" script, but it seems like all sounds to the right of the point are immediately sent to right speaker and vice versa. It would be nice if I could make the sounds go from one speaker to the other slower, if you know what I mean?
