Do you know if this works with Studio? I'm looking for a way to play .ogg files in Studio, can't use mp3s since I want to adjust the sound volume min-play which you can't do with mp3s. Thanks.

It works on Windows with Studio.

Great work and easy to use But how do i tell to GM that both Oddio.dll and bass.dll settles in a specified directory?

I was trying this in oddio_init:

dll = working_directory+"\libs\Oddio.dll"

It can find Oddio, perhaps, but not bass. Setting both to game working directory works fine, but if both are in libs directory i got error message "Error defining an external function."

If you keep bass.dll in the working directory and specify the path to Oddio.dll which is in another directory does it work?
I will look into this problem and try to fix it if possible.

[Hello Darren]

I'm having a similar problem when uploading the game to Steam Workshop. It works fine in the Studio versions of Steam and stand-alone, but when I try and play the game through the Steam Workshop I get an error saying it can't find the Bass.dll and an error defining external function after it.

Note the Steam version of Studio has a checkbox in each included file, I've made sure to check the Steam Workshop box. I'll make a new topic in the Studio forum asking if anybody has gotten DLLs to work in Workshop as this might be a wider problem with Studio rather than your DLL.



Other than that your DLL has worked flawlessly so big thanks! Although it would be nice if there was an option to change the pitch of a sound like in Caster.

Seems to be working in that case.

I will look into the problems described above.

Oddio 1.3 has been released. You can now get and set the speed of a MOD track. Download it from the first post.

EDIT:
Oddio 1.4 has been released. You can now slide attributes of tracks. Download it and see details of the new functions in the the first post.

Thanks for this, I was struggling to find an audio dll that's actively updated. I'm getting the bass error in Workshop mentioned earlier too. Also when using oddio_stop for ogg files it will no longer play again, instead I have to use pause and set the position to the start. Just a minor quibble here too though I don't know if it's the way it is for technical reasons; it would be nice if you didn't have to choose between oddio_loadbin and oddio_loopbin, instead that decision is made when playing the file. It would mean I could use the same variable when loading the file.

It's the way Bass works, but I can possibly make a function that changes it from looping to only once and vice versa.

DLL causes GM:Studio to hang when trying to free memory.
Try both track and DLL freeing, may have issues with both.

I am aware of this. It is only with certain track types though.
I will try to fix it. It isn't that big of an issue.

[JWRAC]

Not being able to free memory consumption isn't that big of an issue.

Oh, okay. Cool.
Anyway, if anyone is looking for an OGG player that will work with GM:Studio, that works, like it should, try this:

It's OpenAL so I'm pretty sure it doesn't need a licence.

[HayManMarc]

What do I do with the Oddio.gml file?

[fantastichumore]

AMAZING!!! I'll use it and credit you

[GothSeiDank]

Good stuff mate. But you should note that if one makes commercial games, a license for BASS is needed.

Oddio work only on windows or can work for other platforms like iOS/Android ?
