Re: fbfrog header translator

Well, by design it is very limited, but at the same time it sort of preserves the look and feel of the original headers, not perfectly, but as close as I have ever seen. ...... .... By the way, I have never used h_2_bi or FBSWIG, so I don't know what the differences are. This rather confuses me. I ...

loops can come in basically in 2 flavors; if these loops are 'inter sample' as in "wavetable synthesis", to allow for an unlimited sustain to a sounds envelope; simply 'looping' (like described), while technically possible, is musically unusable. Look into 'wave table synthesis sample tuni...

I have nothing against wavs, just let OGG sounds to be stopped. MP3 is known to have some silence at beginning of file when you exporting via Audacity and it breaks music loops which works great with oggs. Also oggs have better compression with same quality. Ahh.. audio loops - hmmmm.... Looks like...

1) How to do crossfade between two sounds? (Is it even possible to fade out a sound and fade in another sound at the same time?) It 'looks like' you; get all stream info, get the handle of the stream the mp3Stream is using (or remember it when creating the stream ??) - change its volume (decrease o...

How to stop currently playing sound without restarting FBSound subsystem? I hate to do this, since loading sounds (music in my case) takes up several seconds and I don't like to reload it when I just want to play other music. It looks like only 'MP3Streams' can be halted; "_DF FBS_End_MP3Strea...

I would look at inkey - and process each key stroke, instead of line input. Print to the screen and use locate to advance to the next char if input was correct - then add the comma when needed. http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=KeyPgInkey http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Key...

your work looks impressive... well done... but... I wonder if you forgot to include a module or something (compiled FBSound lib perhaps? - I thought FBSound would be linked statically by default - but I am probably mistaken) But I get "No free playback driver" - it seems, it does not find ...
