is there any way of recording the sound during game play (just the sound) and saving it automatically........The only way i can do it at the moment, is to run and record with windows sound recorder at the same time......is there any way to automate this...or does anybody now a solution.........i know Construct is primarily used for creating games, but this function would be a god send.

Ctypes is included i Python since version 2.5.

I installed version 2.6 and it works for me. I don't know if it'll work with latest python.

Get it here :

http://www.python.org/download/releases/

Just run the installer, and it'll be ok.

If you need win32com libraries, google it and install the one for your version of python.

Many thanks for your help ........Gulp !

win32com libraries.........what are they?

thats close to what I'm looking for, what I came up with was similer, unfortinatly that picture dosen't look right, without making the picture 3D, on one side. if what I've said makes sense....

Thanks for the try though

I think if I plan on using my own models I'm going to have to keep it 2d for now? I'm not totaly sure if Im capible of making them 3d

If you wanna go 3D, you should check out CYBERMOTION 3D DESIGNER

http://www.3d-designer.com/

Best program ive ever used !

or.......do a google search for sprite sheets......and maybe planes,jets etc.

If you dont have any luck and you really, really need 3d, get back to me and i will make them for you.

If number 1 is cylindrical, and has two leads then yeah its probably a cap.

Probably not the issue tho, when they get hot they pop, and that means it's probably the ic.

When that gets hot.... game over.

Do you reckon its fried ? with the green light still coming on i just wondered.

i know this sounds really far fetched but i saw a youtube vid, where some guy took the chips out and soldered them into another stick ? what do you reckon ?

Not 100% sure what you mean ? what about -

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 ?

Share or post your Beatbox music studio creations with other users

Wanna start your own beatbox battle ?

Method

1,Create and save your masterpiece - for example "My beat"

2,Goto the folder 'My saves' and look for "My beat.ini"

3,Create a link, Boxdrop, send, post, email... the 'ini' file to another Beatbox studio user.

4,They simply drop a copy of the 'ini' file into the "My saves" folder.

5,Thats it, it will now play on their machine ! !

Note: this will only work if their "snaps" folder containing the sample waves isnt messed about with.

HAPPY BEATBOXING

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.

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15858089/Interface.png">

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
