Title: Any chance of seeing a fixed wav loader soon? Post by: cactopus on April 20, 2003, 05:43:09 am For any big-endian "real" systems...
Is this in the CVS trees already. I'd like to use this on OS X or try to port it to my IRIX machines. It's odd that the music loader works ok but the wav loader doesn't. Title: Re: Any chance of seeing a fixed wav loader soon? Post by: macNoob on April 21, 2003, 10:04:22 am I've emailed Mika and we briefly discussed this issue. It's not really that odd because the sound effects are stored in the WAV format, which is geared towards little-endian machines. I've taken a look at a couple of endian-safe .wav loading systems that I may be able to port over (I could find name if you'd like, I can't recall them off the top of my head...). I've also looked briefly at just writing a new loader from scratch, based on the WAV spec. It wouldn't take a real coder any time at all, but it'd probly take a rookie like me a couple dozen hours.
Anyways, between finals and my new summer coding job, I don't know that I'll be able to get down to writing code for this 'till the summer's over at least...

Though maybe that's not the preferred solution.

Post by: Death 999 on May 14, 2003, 08:18:26 pm I am working on getting the CVS compiled on MacOS X with Nic., but there are difficulties. If I knew shell scripting better or Nic. could get to a mac, I'm sure it would be solved soon.

With the new CVS build in linux the wav loader works properly... which ROCKS!! Thanks for everything.. Title: Re: Any chance of seeing a fixed wav loader soon?

Thanks for testing, the endian issue seems to be solved and it should work just fine under OS X too if you ppl get it to compile (unfortunately we don't have any Mac developers on our own so until we get someone active and skilled to fix the issues, OS X side of things will be somewhat behind others). |
