sound function return???

[dciris]

I was wondering if when this function is called:

snd_sfx_play(sound2[snd_bgm], 1000, 1);

It could return a varibable indicating wheter its on or off (ie: return 0 (off)
return (1) on). This way, If 0 was returned I could call the function a gain for a seamless sound loop...

I think it returns the channel the sound is playing on. There used to be a function to check if a sound was playing on a given channel, but I think it disappeared somewhere.

Could someone tell me what the (regexp) for c++ is? ie how to write "c++" as a regular expression takin into account that "+" must be escaped.

c\\+\+?? Thanks for your help. I'm having browser trouble

C\+\+

[nymus]

that didn't/doesn't work MindChild But, it's okay.

dciris, maybe there's a way to check how far into your sound buffer it has read? That might work.

thanks very much for all your replys guys
I will definately look into reading the soundbuffer (its an uncharted territory like most of the other programming so far:P )...

I was wondering also if you guys know about a time function that would return milliseconds so far I have only been able to find one for full seconds the reason I'm looking for this function is for animating textures...

thanks very much

Code: Select all

void timer_ms_gettime(uint32 *secs, uint32 *msecs);

If you want just the number of milliseconds elapsed since the DC was booted, you can do this:

Code: Select all

int secs, msecs;
timer_ms_gettime(&secs, &msecs);
msecs += secs * 1000;

Or, to convert it to seconds as a floating point value:

Code: Select all

int secs, msecs;
float time;
timer_ms_gettime(&secs, &msecs);
time = secs + (msecs / 1000.0f);
