  • Re python

    With reference to the python tutorial by R0J0hound -

    "It's pretty simple from python, but it will require the ctypes library so you'll have to install python to get it to work"

    What does this mean, i know nothing about python, how do i install python and ctypes ?

    Help ?

  • I have put together a 'working copy' of the new version for anybody who wants to try it.

    Beatbox music studio

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15858089/Beatbox%20music%20studio%20demo.rar

    Most of the stuff that im hoping to include in the final release is in this one.

    The last version (Beatbox pro) had too much stuff disabled, so i have left most of the features working in this one.

    NEW

    Random groove \ pattern generator, with different 'seed' setting(Nightmare to implement)

    Tabs added for selecting the library list boxes.

    New interface and buttons.

    Loads of new Demo's

    Loads of new sound samples

    Restriction

    Saving is enabled but limited to 2 files (just delete or move them from the saves folder!)

    Multi loop play isnt working 100% so i disabled it.

    Make sure you read the help section because the sound box editing has changed.

    Oh..and the help isnt finished yet, but the basics are explained.

    Right i'm probably boring you to death now, so i'm going to bed.

    Please post details of any bugs, problems.

  • 1, List boxes

    Why do list boxes always stay on top of everything else, and show up on a 'Fraps' capture ?

    Transparent window

    How do i make a game with a transparent window? Ive seen a couple of posts that mention python, but i cant get my head round it. Could somebody give me a step by step solution?

    Bone behavior

    Again, ive read posts about it, but i could do with a step by step?

    Please help before my brain melts.

  • If your still having problems with the audio object, this might help ?

    <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15858089/X2audio%20solution.png">

    I use this method on my beatbox project.

    The first line activates the red line which moves fron left to right.

    When it collides a blue object, a sound is played.

    I only use one X2Auduio object (global)

    Hope it helps

  • A simple 3D effect Alien or monster that only requires a couple of event lines.

    This has probably been done before, but i thought i would post it.

    Its a monster that looks abit 3D(ish) and it follows the player( in this case a basketball )

    Somebody might be able to use it.

    I added sound effects to make it a bit more interesting.

  • chrisbrobs

    Damn! You must be the most prductive dev I've ever known

    Looks smart. Will it support pattern storing, so you can record a sequence and play it back?

    The current version wont, but i will see if i can add it?

    It should be possible if i can set up a way to record keystrokes or mouse clicks into an ini file.

    (Similar to the Beatbox music maker)

    i will keep you posted mate.
