EDITOR PLUGIN: Media Manager 1.0a (for AGS 3.0.1+)

[subspark]

Okay. I like that. Even if it means readjusting my dialog voice sample references.
I'm all smiles 

Cheers man!

[smiley]

*bump*
New version 0.5 with two major new features:

-Search for usage of file in script and dialog

-Audio files can now be given a script name which is declared as an enum. So in the script you can use it like that: "PlaySound(sndBoom)". (Thanks to RickJ for the suggestion.)

Nice work! Clever stuff getting the zoom to script thing to work, I don't think I actually exposed that on the interface!

Couple of minor things that I found:

1. If you scroll down the list of sounds and select one, then switch to another tab and switch back, the list scrolls back to the top

2. I got this when previewing a sound:

Error: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.
Version: AGS 3.0.0.22

System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

The editor itself exposes the method "GUIController.ZoomToFile". But I was surprised that it really worked...

1. If you scroll down the list of sounds and select one, then switch to another tab and switch back, the list scrolls back to the top

Will be fixed in the next release.

2. I got this when previewing a sound:

Hmm, the only thing I'm doing there is a conversion from uint to int, so is the sound over 596 hours long?
Can you please upload the file, because I can't reproduce that.

Fixed in the new version.

Thanks for reporting.

I'd advise against using reflection to call random methods, because I might refactor the editor code at any time and break your plugin. I'd much prefer you to make a request for me to add the method to the interface, which I will then make sure is properly supported in future versions.

The download link is down :'(

[smiley]

My fault...should now be working again...

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

This is such a useful addition to ags that I really think it should become part of the distribution package rather than a separate download!

[OneDollar]

Cheers for that

[SSH]

I agree with Progz

[edmundito]

Oh, sweet! I'm glad someone took over my unworkable Media Manager and actually made it work! I was just thinking about it the other day, and I even saw the code in my thumb drive... I guess I'm off the hook

[smiley]

Another release, another audio library. This time it's FMOD Ex.

Big new feature:
You can now add new subnodes to the Audio node. These nodes come in three flavours: Lists, Filters and Folders. Files have to be added manually to lists (-> file context menu), filters get them automatically if they match the conditions (-> filter context menu).

[Dualnames]

This will help me bundle lc3 speech...Thanks a lot dude.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

This is very good, but I've now become rather confused due to the lack of documentation.

What is the use of lists, filters, and the library?

[smiley]

If you have a seperate folder on your harddrive with all your audio files (with more descriptive names than 'music1.ogg') you want to use in your game, you can set this folder as the library.

Lists & filters should help you organize your files. Lists are pretty much the same as playlists in normal music players, so you have to add and remove entries manually. Filters are 'automatic lists', so e.g. you want a pane that only shows the files which descriptions contain the word 'Background', you can set this as a filter rule (right click on the filter node->edit filter).

[smiley]

*bump for 0.7*

New feature:
Create and edit Pamela lipsync files. Futhermore, the plugin is now aware of .pam files and renames/deletes them if the corresponding speech file is renamed/deleted.

Creating Pamela files currently uses a third-party tool which uses Microsoft's Speech SDK, so if you're not running XP or Vista, you probably have to install Microsoft's Speech 5.1 Redistributables (speechsdk51msm.exe).

[smiley]

*bump for 1.0*

New feature:
You can now manage your video and flic files (hence the name change).
By default, the plugin searches the Compiled folder + subfolders for video files and the game folder for flics.

This is a really cool plugin and something I've been meaning to look for... but once I installed it, opened up my game to change something and then save it, I get this Error:

Not really sure what that means, I'm running Vista Ultimate (64) on Build 3.0.2.44 of AGS. I've never had an error like this before. In the meantime, I'm going to uninstall this so I can continue working on my game.
