[Dozens of yells were heard as one was dead from one second to another. What happened?]

Pretty small circus, isn't it? I would have thought a circus audience would typically be hundreds of people, if not more than a thousand.

Not the best circus + a bad day audience-wise + not everyone is yelling at a suspenseful performance + "dozens" is a not defined number beetween 12 and a nice crowd of people imho =

Case #4
Dozens of yells were heard as one was dead from one second to another. What happened?

Yes
Is the one who died a human?
Was it an accident?
Was the one who died engaged in some form of sport?
Are those who yelled watchers?
Were the yells in response to whatever caused the death?
Did the performance take place inside a building/tent?
Was it a showman whose performance went terribly wrong? (CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE A YES FROM NOW ON. Actually spot on yes. Must have been the sleep deprivation...
When you say "dozens of yells", was that approximately the size of the audience?
Was she killed by another person (or multiple people)?
Was she a circus performer?
Or is it a kind of sport to saw the assistant of the magician literally?
Was she assisting in some kind of stunt, such as acting as the target for a knife thrower? (But for me it's a sport, not a stunt )



No
Was it murder?
Did he die on stage? (no, but close)
Did something fall on the victim?
Did more than one person die?
Was he himself to blame for the accident? (Maybe work on this once more. It's close to yes )
Did the victim perform that sport alone?
Was the dead person male? (Even if it doesn't matter, just to make the pronouns easier) (It matters!)
Were the yells in response to the death?
Did the yells (directly or indirectly) cause the death?
Did they yell to try to warn her about something?
Was she killed by some kind of mechanical/equipment failure?
Was she doing a trapeze act

No it's a KIND OF SPORT where an ASSISTANT is needed. Therefore the underlined words done by me.

Lets see, we have a human or several humans that died from an accident at some sporting event. The clue that confuses me was the fall question.

Don't be confused by that. It's just that a fall can happen at different times with different reasons. f.e. if a not sitting or lying person dies

No, sorry for the missing relevant information. I am using mp3s (22400mhz, 64bit/s, fixed bitrate mode) converted from wavs in audacity.
The length of the files seems to be irrelevant and it's always only the last one or two letters or syllables of the last word.

My guess is: the game cuts at every file a few milisecs (my tests showed a cut off area of about 0,2 to 0,25secs) of speech but only those with too little silnce are affected.
Adding silence to a few test files that had nearly no or not at all silence at the end solved the problem.. Not that hard to add  that silence on every file with batch processing in audacity.

But is this a common bug or has anyone an explanation for that?

Hey rambler. if you mean by "3d derived" a game with 3d prerendered sprites and backgrounds, then check out "Out of Gas" by Cassiebsg. Great MAGS entry that shows you how good this style decision can work and look.

Only downside of objects is that you can't rename them. So if he wants to change the Flowerbed into Flowerbed with seeds or flowerbed with flowers etc. he needs to add a new object for each name change. A character is far more flexible on that part.
Another one is the limitation of objects in a room. If this one is crowded with these, using a character here could be useful.

About character.ChangeView: I wouldnt recommend this because it is linked to a view and the loops are activated by the direction the character is looking to (or where he walks). This means you have to combine changeview with a character.FaceDirection to get different sprites of your flowerbed. It's much easier to use character.LockViewFrame for your purpose. Maybe some code in room_Load is needed to keep the flowerbed in its current state if the player returns to the room, but that should be easy.
