Couple of Mala Sound Questions
loadman:
OK
The MALA LED-Wiz Plug-In V2 is all but done. It is under final testing and should be released in the next few days..
My point is I now have time to expand on the Emu-Wave Plug-in
I was just going to add a few feature I personally want (random Wav's)
* Play random Wav file When Starting MaLa
* Play random Wav file When Starting Game
* Play random Wav file When quiting Game
* Play random Wav file When Quiting MaLa
Also
* Play random Wav of Game-List change
You group your wavs in folders and just let the plug-in know what folder you wish it to randomly choose a wav from on the above events.
I plan to include a lot of 'Duke Nukem 3D quotes' I know it is not in keeping with my arcade table but it's cool anyway..
Classic quotes when you launch a game like:
"Who wants Some?"
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. An I'm all outta Gum"
If you can think of any other cool features to add, now is a good time to let me know
;D

I asked to you when you released your first emuwave plug-in. I tried to increase the volume of the wavs but all of them are played t with a very low sound. If you can add a volume selector for them it will be great
Thank you for your help Loadman

Hi..
Well I can Kinda :P
You said that the problem is the wav get's drowned out in your background music.
As I pointed out to you at the time the problem is they are on the same volume control as the background music. :(
Refer here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=62925.msg626741#msg626741
Did you try putting the wavs you use into an audio editor (even 'sound recorder'that comes with windows) to increase the volume of the wavs as I suggested in that post? [edit] Sorry You answered that
I'm not trying to be difficult here I just don't know a suitable solution :dunno
I can bring up the volume for the wav to play and drop it back down to where it was after wav plays (as I do in Led-Wiz Plug-in V2 'Flash N Speak' option) but the problem is I think it will also bring up your background music too... ;)
Q1) If that is acceptable to you I can implement that with the next version ;D
Let me know . taaaaaaa
[EDIT] Late thought..
MaLa plays Music via BASS.DLL.
Q2) If it's possible for me to pause the music while the wav plays would that be acceptable?

This will be awesome, thanks again. I have a cab I'm building on the whole Wargames theme. It get's kinda old hearing "Shall we play a game" over and over, but if you get this going I'll be dumping a whole snot load of movie .wav clips.
The guy building the Starfighter cab might be interested as well.

(First of all, thanks for the PM.) I think the above is great!! I wouldn't complain at all with this. 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.
That said, you did ask for ideas ... >:D The only thing that I could think of (which may be a pain to implement in the first place) has to do, specifically with navigating a Tree Structure.
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:
