irrKlang

[Xaron]

Hi all,

I just found out that Niko has created a small but powerful sound library called irrKlang. This sounds great! Has anyone tried it yet?

I wonder why there are still no discussions about it yet?! At the moment I use FMod in my project but I'll check irrKlang as I only need 3d sound...

@Niko, Admins: I think an own subforum for irrKlang would be great? Are there any further plans, new features and so on?

Regards - Xaron

You should note that irrKlang currently only supports Windows and is closed source, so no chances to easily add Linux support. I did not check the API for loader extensions, but I guess that it should be fairly easy to add support for, e.g., mp3 or some other sound library.
I don't think that irrKlang really requires a complete forum on its own. But maybe it's wise to change the descriptions of the two major Irrlicht forums (beginner and advanced) such that everything related to Irrlicht with existing extensions should go into Advanced (i.e. all Newton, ODE, sound, but also new scene node like cal3d or grass scene node).

I read somewhere that .ogg is faster then .mp3(better perfomance).
Its great that is supported by IrrKlang.

[hey_i_am_real]

i can hardly wait to test it

but i have to study and to make something with IrrLicht first

[Lee Zhi Eng]

can you make library for dev-c++?

we poor linux users are out of luck

Hi!

we poor linux users are out of luck

No, becouse we make something like this:

Code: Select all

namespace irr {
namespace network {

class CNetworkClientNode;
class CNetworkServerNode;
class CNetworkManager;

}
}

Bye

Then we #include <windows.h>
wooooo!

wait i don't get it

can we (linux users) or can we not use irrKlang? From Hybrid's comments it didn't seem like we could

AFAIK irrklang only runs on win32 at the moment - take a look at the download page - there is only one SDK for win32 => http://irrklang.irrlicht3d.org/downloads.html

Would be awesome if IrrKlang were released under the zlib license, so users might add Mac / Linux support, static linking, etc.

[niko]

Yes, would be nice, but maybe later. It's code doesn't look that nice yet.

[Stah]

We don't care, give us the cooode

I've tried to implement this http://www.devmaster.net/articles/opena ... esson8.php (ogg streaming) into irrlicht but i've got some problems.
How does irrKlang work, did you use thread ?

hi, i was trying to compile my stuff with irrKlang included.
but i got this:

Code: Select all

------ Build started: Project: MirageEngineDemo, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
Compiling...
main.cpp
c:\documents and settings\lee zhi eng\desktop\mirage engine\include\irrklang_include\ISound.h(63) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Lee Zhi Eng\Desktop\Mirage Engine\Demo\MirageEngineDemo\Release\BuildLog.htm"
MirageEngineDemo - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

what's this about?

missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

Just what it says. There is a missing type specifier. Normally the int type is assumed, but that is not supported by the C++ language. Go to ISound.h:63 and add an int return type to whatever function is declared there.
