Music

Hy guys !

First, your work is awesome ! I like so much the game and i very thankful to the french forum CPC

My suggestion is simple: the possibility to listen my music during game. The game music is ok, but i play like several hours... it will be great to listen my music but with the sound effect of the game. Peraphs the possibility in the "option" to chose one folder with music ?


(Sorry if my english is not correct)

We can add more music to the game, but we need first to do some technical stuff, the music is all loaded upon game start and is consuming lot of memory already.
You can just simply turn the music off in the options (ambiente), and play the musing using your favorite music player.

Ok

Is there any way the music could just be stored as files and pulled when needed so that you could just copy paste your own music files in? Not sure if it would be possible with this but I know The Sims does something similar with radios and sound systems where you can have them play your own custom music.

Seriously, why that loading. It is a common standard to stream music from the harddrive instead, and should be very easy to do in your libraries. Store only short sounds in the memory.

I know, but we will need to load the music in different thread, to avoid stuttering.

My guess would be that a good music library should implement this on its own, so you don't need to do it. I remember I was using fmod many years ago and it was extremely easy and fast.
