* added global functions that check whether FMod and OpenAL are present, without initializing the sound backend.
* make sound init code more fault tolerant. It will now try to switch between FMod and OpenAL if the currently active one cannot be found but the other one can.
* added 'ifoption' checks for sound backend to menu code.
* only show sound backends which are present and hide the options for the ones which are not.
UpdateSounds will not be called during screen wipes and the entire setup of this function suggests that this is not advisable at all.
The OpenAL stream updates were done deep inside this function implicitly.
This caused music to stop while a wipe was in progress. So in order to allow uninterrupted music playback during screen wipes the music updates need to be handled separately from sound updates and be called both in the main loop and the wipe loop.
I think that the OpenAL music updating should be offloaded to a separate thread but at least it's working now without causing interruptions during wipes.
Instead of the previous method where there'd be a filename and offset, and/or a
memory pointer, this uses a class to access resource data regardless of its
underlying form.
sounds queued up while the Channel Group Target Unit is inactive will all play at the same time
once the unit is made active. To avoid this, it is now only deactivated when the gamestate is
GS_LEVEL. Otherwise, it just gets muted. Fixes http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33592 "Strife voices overlap"

* Looping sounds that have been playing for a very long time, were evicted,
and then were restarted need to have their positions clamped to lie
within the bounds of the sounds. If we try to set a start position very
far beyond the end, it will overflow inside FMOD and not work.
* A start time of 0 is not actually valid and means the sound was never
assigned a start time.
- The latter bug also reveals a problem with starting looped sounds evicted:
They need to be assigned a start time so if they should have the opportunity
to start later, they will be properly synchronized.
SVN r1987 (trunk)
effect rather than as an input to the ChannelGroup Target Unit. This means
the water effect is now applied after any room reverb, rather than in
parallel with it.
- Fixed: UI sounds should not have reverb applied to them.
SVN r1450 (trunk)
The rolloff and channel ended callbacks now call functions in s_sound.cpp
instead of working on the data itself and GSnd->StopSound has been replaced
with S_StopChannel.
SVN r1227 (trunk)
method to the SoundRenderer class so that this function doesn't need to
load the sound for the NullSoundRenderer.
- Took some more non-FMOD related code out of fmodsound.cpp, including the
code that checks for raw and Doom sounds. This means that sfxinfo_t is no
longer needed in the SoundRenderer class so I took out all references to it.
SVN r1208 (trunk)
to the rolloff information back to NULL when starting the sound fails.
- Fixed: Rolloff information was taken from the sfxinfo that contained the
actual sound data, not the one that was used for starting the sound.
SVN r1206 (trunk)
and sectors are done in s_sound.cpp and not in fmodsound.cpp. Also removed
several 'sector' parameters because they were never used inside the sound code.
SVN r1200 (trunk)
during it.
- UI sounds are now omitted from savegames.
- Fixed: Menu sounds had been restricted to one at a time again.
- Moved the P_SerializeSounds() call to the end of G_SerializeLevel() so that
it will occur after the players are loaded.
- Added fixes from FreeBSD for 0-length and very large string buffers
passed to myvsnprintf.
SVN r1063 (trunk)
arbitrary point. It has been replaced with a variant that takes a polyobject
as a source, since that was the only use that couldn't be rewritten with the
other variants. This also fixes the bug that polyobject sounds were not
successfully saved and caused a crash when reloading the game. Note that
this is a significant change to how equality of sound sources is determined,
so some things may not behave quite the same as before. (Which would be a
bug, but hopefully everything still sounds the same.)
SVN r1059 (trunk)
the rest of the game is concerned, these sounds will never stop once they
have been started until they are explicitly stopped. If they are evicted
from their channels, the sound code will restart them as soon as possible.
This means that instead of this:
if (!S_IsActorPlayingSomething(actor, CHAN_WEAPON, -1))
{
S_Sound(actor, CHAN_WEAPON|CHAN_LOOP, soundid, 1, ATTN_NORM);
}
The following is now just as effective:
S_Sound(actor, CHAN_WEAPON|CHAN_LOOP, soundid, 1, ATTN_NORM);
There are also a couple of other ramifications presented by this change:
* The full state of the sound system (sans music) is now stored in save
games. Any sounds that were playing when you saved will still be
playing when you load. (Try saving while Korax is making a speech in
Hexen to hear it.)
* Using snd_reset will also preserve any playing sounds.
* Movie playback is disabled, probably forever. I did not want to
update the MovieDisable/ResumeSound stuff for the new eviction
tracking code. A properly updated movie player will use the VMR,
which doesn't need these functions, since it would pipe the sound
straight through the sound system like everything else, so I decided
to dump them now, which leaves the movie player in a totally unworkable
state.

- Changed S_Sound() to take the same floating point attenuation that the
internal S_StartSound() uses. Now ambient sounds can use the public
S_Sound() interface.
- Fixed: S_RelinkSound() compared the points of the channels against the
from actor's point, rather than checking the channels' mover.
- Changed Strife's animated doors so that their sounds originate from the
interior of the sector making them and not from the entire vertical height
of the map.
SVN r1055 (trunk)
consideration the size and shape of the sector producing the sound. See
the lifts on Doom 2 MAP30 and compare with previous versions.
- Fixed: The stop sound for sector-based sound sequences was not played with
the CHAN_AREA flag.
- Removed the distinction between S_Sound() and S_SoundID() functions. Use
S_Sound() for both names and IDs from now on.
SVN r1034 (trunk)
heavily customized version of DUMB (Dynamic Universal Music Bibliotheque).
It has been slightly modified by me:
* Added support for Ogg Vorbis-compressed samples in XM files ala FMOD.
* Removed excessive mallocs from the replay core.
* Rerolled the loops in resample.c. Unrolling them made the object file
~250k large while providing little benefit. Even at ~100k, I think it's
still larger than it ought to be, but I'll live with it for now.
Other than that, it's essentially the same thing you'd hear in foobar2000,
minus some subsong detection features. Release builds of the library look
like they might even be slightly faster than FMOD, which is a plus.
- Fixed: Timidity::font_add() did not release the file reader it created.
- Fixed: The SF2 loader did not free the sample headers in its destructor.
SVN r995 (trunk)
optional freeverb unit.
- Removed ResetEnvironment hack, since with software reverb, losing the
existing reverb when focus is lost isn't a problem.
- Commented out the TiMidity FIXME messages.
SVN r973 (trunk)
there were no designated characters to strip at the end of it.
- Added support for Shoutcast/Icecast playlists.
- Added an error message when a playlist could not be opened.
- Added support for PLS format playlists, in addition to M3U.
- Changed FPlayList to use an array of FStrings.
- Fixed: Playlists required every song to be specified by an absolute path.
SVN r951 (trunk)
FMOD_INIT_ENABLE_PROFILE. Renamed the corresponding cvar to snd_profile.
- Removed the normalize parameter from SoundStream::Play().
- Disabled the chorus and reverb effects added to SDL_mixer's Timidity,
because they were probably never tested well, either. Thanks to the bug
in vc_alloc(), they were never even activated.
- Restored the exact frequency range search that was missing from SDL_mixer's
verion of select_sample().
- Fixed: vc_alloc(), kill_others(), and note_on() treated Voice::status as a
bit mask, when it's not. These were changes made to SDL_mixer's Timidity.
- Restored the original Timidity volume equation. The other louder one was
put in when I didn't realize all channels were mono and many notes sounded
too quiet because they never completed their attack phase.
- Fixed: FileReader::Gets() acted as if fgets() always read the maximum
number of characters.
- Fixed: FileReader::Open() did not set FilePos and StartPos to 0.
SVN r908 (trunk)
channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.
SVN r900 (trunk)
floats, so I can write its output directly to the stream buffer. In
addition, this lets me bring the OPL volume level much closer to the
standard MIDI volume.
SVN r863 (trunk)
- Removed movie volume from the sound menu and renamed some of the other
options to give the MIDI device name more room to display itself.
- Moved the midi device selection into the main sound menu.
- Added FMOD as MIDI device -1, to replace the MIDI mapper. This is still the
default device. By default, it uses exactly the same DLS instruments as the
Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. If you have another set DLS level 1 patch set
you want to use, set the snd_midipatchfile cvar to specify where it should
load the instruments from.
- Changed the ProduceMIDI function to store its output into a TArray<BYTE>.
An overloaded version wraps around it to continue to supply file-writing
support for external Timidity++ usage.
- Added an FMOD credits banner to comply with their non-commercial license.
- Reimplemented the snd_buffersize cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system. Rather
than a time in ms, this is now the length in samples of the DSP buffer.
Also added the snd_buffercount cvar to offer complete control over the
call to FMOD::System::setDSPBufferSize(). Note that with any snd_samplerate
below about 44kHz, you will need to set snd_buffersize to avoid long
latencies.
- Reimplemented the snd_output cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system.
- Changed snd_samplerate default to 0. This now means to use the default
sample rate.
- Made snd_output, snd_output_format, snd_speakermode, snd_resampler, and
snd_hrtf available through the menu.
- Split the HRTF effect selection into its own cvar: snd_hrtf.
- Removed 96000 Hz option from the menu. It's still available through the
cvar, if desired.
- Fixed: If Windows sound init failed, retry with DirectSound. (Apparently,
WASAPI doesn't work with more than two speakers and PCM-Float output at the
same time.)
- Fixed: Area sounds only played from the front speakers once you got within
the 2D panning area.
SVN r854 (trunk)
xlat_parser.y because both files had the same time stamp after an update,
and Lemon only rewrites the header file if it's changed.
- Added $volume SNDINFO command. This is multiplied with the volume the sound
is played at to arrive at the final volume (before distance attenuation).
- Added the CHAN_AREA flag to disable 3D panning within the min distance of a
sound. Sector sound sequences (except doors) use this flag.
- Added the CHAN_LOOP flag to replace the S_Looped* sound functions.
- Restored the sound limiting.
SVN r849 (trunk)
subject to channel overriding.
- Re-added priority selection based on sound usage.
- Reduced the number of virtual channels to match the number of real
channels.
- Added customizable rolloff, including Doom's standard linear gain rolloff.
SNDINFO commands are:
$rolloff <sound> <min distance> <max distance> -- linear gain (like Doom)
$rolloff <sound> linear <min distance> <max distance> -- linear volume
$rolloff <sound> log <min distance> <rolloff factor> -- logarithmic
$rolloff <sound> custom <min distance> <max distance> -- use SNDCURVE lump
Anything closer than min distance is full volume and anything further than
max distance is inaudible. Logarithmic rolloff does not have a maximum
distance; it has a scalar that controls how quickly the volume drops off
instead.
SVN r834 (trunk)
- Fixed: Heretic linetype translations included the wrong file.
- Removed all 2D sound positioning code from s_sound.cpp. Everything uses
FMOD's 3D engine now.
- Removed all the channel selection code from s_sound.cpp. FMOD has code to
handle this sort of thing, so let's use it.
- Replaced S_StopSoundID() with S_CheckSingular(). There is no longer a limit
on the number of copies of a particular sound that can be playing at once,
aside from Strife's special singular sounds. (Sorry, Heretic and Hexen.)
Consequently, the SNDINFO $limit command is now ignored.
- Removed ATTN_SURROUND, since FMOD Ex doesn't exactly support it, and it
only worked as intended on stereo speakers anyway.
- Cleaned out ancient crud from i_sound.cpp.
SVN r826 (trunk)
for FMOD Ex while at the same time removing support for FMOD 3. Be sure to update
your SDKs. GCC users, be sure to do a "make cleandep && make clean" before
building, or you will likely get inexplicable errors.
- Fixed: If you wanted to make cleandep with MinGW, you had to specifically
specify Makefile.mingw as the makefile to use.
- Added a normalizer to the OPL synth. It helped bring up the volume a little,
but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
- Removed MIDI Mapper references. It doesn't work with the stream API, and
it doesn't really exist on NT kernels, either.
- Reworked music volume: Except for MIDI, all music volume is controlled
through GSnd and not at the individual song level.
- Removed the mididevice global variable.
- Removed snd_midivolume. Now that all music uses a linear volume scale,
there's no need for two separate music volume controls.
- Increased snd_samplerate default up to 48000.
- Added snd_format, defaulting to "PCM-16".
- Added snd_speakermode, defaulting to "Auto".
- Replaced snd_fpu with snd_resampler, defaulting to "Linear".
- Bumped the snd_channels default up from a pitiful 12 to 32.
- Changed snd_3d default to true. The new cvar snd_hw3d determines if
hardware 3D support is used and default to false.
- Removed the libFLAC source, since FMOD Ex has native FLAC support.
- Removed the altsound code, since it was terribly gimped in comparison to
the FMOD code. It's original purpose was to have been as a springboard for
writing a non-FMOD sound system for Unix-y systems, but that never
happened.
- Finished preliminary FMOD Ex support.
SVN r789 (trunk)
- Fixed: The FMOD stream player must specify whether it wants to play the
sound looped or not when playback is started, not when the stream is created.
- Fixed: A_Saw didn't use the puff's damage type.
- Fixed: The AxeBlood's death state was using the wrong sprite frame.
- Fixed: The Mancubus had an attack sound defined even though it shouldn't.
SVN r565 (trunk)
samples, a problem for the alternate sound renderer if it happened to be
playing any sounds at the time, since it would try to keep on playing them.
SVN r483 (trunk)
- The stat meters now return an FString instead of sprintfing into a fixed
output buffer.
- NOASM is now automatically defined when compiling for a non-x86 target.
- Some changes have been made to the integral types in doomtype.h:
- For consistancy with the other integral types, byte is no longer a
synonym for BYTE.
- Most uses of BOOL have been change to the standard C++ bool type. Those
that weren't were changed to INTBOOL to indicate they may contain values
other than 0 or 1 but are still used as a boolean.
- Compiler-provided types with explicit bit sizes are now used. In
particular, DWORD is no longer a long so it will work with both 64-bit
Windows and Linux.
- Since some files need to include Windows headers, uint32 is a synonym
for the non-Windows version of DWORD.
- Removed d_textur.h. The pic_t struct it defined was used nowhere, and that
was all it contained.
SVN r326 (trunk)
yanking the mouse around if they keys haven't been read yet to combat the
same situation that causes the keyboard to return DIERR_NOTACQUIRED in
KeyRead(): The window is sort of in focus and sort of not. User.dll
considers it to be focused and it's drawn as such, but another focused
window is on top of it, and DirectInput doesn't see it as focused.
- Fixed: KeyRead() should handle DIERR_NOTACQUIRED errors the same way it
handles DIERR_INPUTLOST errors. This can happen if our window had the
focus stolen away from it before we tried to acquire the keyboard in
DI_Init2(). Strangely, MouseRead_DI() already did this.
- When a stack overflow occurs, report.txt now only includes the first and
last 16KB of the stack to make it more manageable.
- Limited StreamEditBinary() to the first 64KB of the file to keep it from
taking too long on large dumps.
- And now I know why gathering crash information in the same process that
crashed can be bad: Stack overflows. You get one spare page to play with
when the stack overflows. MiniDumpWriteDump() needs more than that and
causes an access violation when it runs out of leftover stack, silently
terminating the application. Windows XP x64 offers SetThreadStackGuarantee()
to increase this, but that isn't available on anything older, including
32-bit XP. To get around this, a new thread is created to write the mini
dump when the stack overflows.
- Changed A_Burnination() to be closer to Strife's.
- Fixed: When playing back demos, DoAddBot() can be called without an
associated call to SpawnBot(). So if the bot can't spawn, botnum can
go negative, which will cause problems later in DCajunMaster::Main()
when it sees that wanted_botnum (0) is higher than botnum (-1).
- Fixed: Stopping demo recording in multiplayer games should not abruptly
drop the recorder out of the game without notifying the other players.
In fact, there's no reason why it should drop them out of multiplayer at
all.
- Fixed: Earthquakes were unreliable in multiplayer games because
P_PredictPlayer() did not preserve the player's xviewshift.
- Fixed: PlayerIsGone() needs to stop any scripts that belong to the player
who left, in addition to executing disconnect scripts.
- Fixed: APlayerPawn::AddInventory() should also check for a NULL player->mo
in case the player left but somebody still has a reference to their actor.
- Fixed: DDrawFB::PaintToWindow() should simulate proper unlocking behavior
and set Buffer to NULL.
- Improved feedback for network game initialization with the console ticker.
- Moved i_net.cpp and i_net.h out of sdl/ and win32/ and into the main source
directory. They are identical, so keeping two copies of them is bad.
- Fixed: (At least with Creative's driver's,) EAX settings are global and not
per-application. So if you play a multiplayer ZDoom game on one computer
(or even another EAX-using application), ZDoom needs to restore the
environment when it regains focus.
- Maybe fixed: (See http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=10689) Apparently,
PacketGet can receive ECONNRESET from nodes that aren't in the game. It
should be safe to just ignore these packets.
- Fixed: PlayerIsGone() should set the gone player's camera to NULL in case
the player who left was player 0. This is because if a remaining player
receives a "recoverable" error, they will become player 0. Once that happens,
they game will try to update sounds through their camera and crash in
FMODSoundRenderer::UpdateListener() because the zones array is now NULL.
G_NewInit() should also clear all the player structures.
SVN r233 (trunk)
- Did some very preliminary support for x64 compiling.
- Now I see why makewad is using the __fastcall calling convention by default:
Because the release zlib is built with it as well.
- Fixed: Conversion from 'const char *' to 'char *' in DEM_SAVEGAME case in
Net_DoCommand().
- Updated the project files for Visual C++ 2005.
