Couple of Mala Sound Questions

I also like the way you're implementing it (folders instead of specific playlists) because then it becomes VERY easy to swap out new sounds.

Kewl ;)

Right now mala can't tell the difference between advancing across the nodes of a tree and starting a emulator/game. To mala, it's all "game start." So lets say that gets solved (and it could be, easily enough I think.) Then there's the issue of which direction you're traveling (i.e. toward the root, or toward the branches.)
If there was a way to specify between the two, and then specify AGAIN regarding which direction you're going... that'd be fantastic... not to mention also being very specific to the way I designed my cabinet in my head! ;D
That's enough of my babble! :blah:

Ahh I meant ideas for this Plug-In.
Unless I completely missunderstood your suggestion you are asking for a MaLa change.
I am not smart enough to be the author of MaLa. That would be SWINDUS. He is open to ideas so I will PM a link to this post so he does not miss it ;)
RyoriNoTetsujin:
Perhaps I was being unclear; the idea was that mala could play a random sound for each specific event:
1. Traversing forward (toward the branches) in a tree/menu structure.
2. Traversing backward (toward the root.)
3. Starting a game. (which is just not the same thing as navigating the tree, but right now mala treats it as such.)
Does that make ANY sense? I'm sorry, I'm coming from having used 3dArcade for so long (and oh jeebus WHY did I do that?? :banghead:) that I'm used to the tree structure. The fact that mala offers it as an option was part of what drew me to it... that and the fact that Atomic has that annoying "acknowledgements" screen whenever you close the program...
I thought this *was* an idea for the plug-in. Sorry. Like I said, it's probably a pain to implement. I guess it's not an issue with the way mala handles sound, it's just an issue with mala itself.
That said, never mind. :-\

Thanks for clarifying ;D
I will ponder this ........................ :)

I added a new sound event for the tree navigation and two new plugin events: MaLaTreeUp and MaLaTreeDown.

Wow, I'm stunned! You guys don't waste any time at all, do you? ;D I look forward to the next release (of mala, and of the plugin!)
Really... wow! This community never ceases to amaze me.
:notworthy:
Oh hey, getting back to CyrusMzRG's problem with his .wavs. It sounds to me like he needs to download something like Audacity and "normalize" all of his .wavs so their volume is consistent with the background music. (I hope it's okay to post links... I'm not affiliated with these guys in any way.)
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
It's free, and it's easy to use. Hope that helps. I know it did for the voice samples I use in my cab (I use Adobe Audition, but the concept is the same.) Not to mention normalizing a batch of .wavs is mountains easier than overhauling the way mala handles sound! :)
