VST or other format support in AGS?

[Nikolas]

Heh...

I know that this will take 1-2 replies, cause the answer's pretty much "yes" or "no". Still, let me ask it anyway:

Was thinking of making a program for audio, very much audio, and I would need the final output going through a bit of reverb (VST plug-in small library/program, which makes the illusion that the audio is in a certain place, based on certain values). These plug-ins are used ALL THE TIME in music, and all sequencers, and generally programs/hosts supprot various formats, with VST being the main one, for PC. Other names are RTAS, AU, etc.

So. Does AGS support such a program? Can I have the music coming out of a game, going through a VST plug-in (Reverb in particular).

The question is very exact, and it can't work to add the reverb in the recording. I want the reverb to be different each time (which would mean different recordings for every instant).

My guess is "no", but I can't be sure until I ask you nice people here.

Thanks for reading this huge post, which could be 1 line question.

AFAIK, you're right and it's not possible.

If it is, it'd take a fair bit of working around, and/or possibly a plugin. Since this isn't really beginner's stuff, I'll move this over the the Tech Forum where you're more likely to get a useful reply.

No, AGS does not support that. I'm not sure if its sound system would even be compatible with a VST plugin.

o, AGS does not support that. I'm not sure if its sound system would even be compatible with a VST plugin.

Is it possible/practical to write an AGS plugin that performed this or similar kind of function?   I think what Nikolas needs is a plugin that can open a sound file(s), read and apply reverb or other filtering, and then pass the result to the AGS sound system.

Currently the plugin API doesn't allow this sort of plugin, but if there was demand for it I could look into how easy it would be to add.
