Introduction

Irrwizard supports both Audiere and FMOD as sound systems. Both are free. Audiere has a more flexible licence agreement where as FMOD is a more powerful and will generally sound better. Examine the licence agreements for both to decide which would be best for your game.

Sound

These are the following classes of interest:

  • CGameSoundManager
  • CAudiereSoundManager
  • CFmodSoundManager


The Game manager will select the correct sound manager on initialisation based on the value in the config.xml.

The SoundDevice attribute can be either “Audiere’ or “Fmod” 

<Config> 
  <Device> 
    <ScreenResolution height="640" width="380"/> 
    <Fullscreen value="False"/> 
    <BitsperPixel value="32"/> 
    <Stencilbuffer value="False"/> 
    <Vsync value="True"/> 
    <DriverType type=" Driver Type "/> 
  </Device> 
  <Sound SoundDevice="Audiere"/> 
<Config>

Usage

The interface will be the same for both pManager->getSoundManager->PlaySound(“media/sounds/fire.wav”);

This will play the specified .wav file once, for use as sound effects in your game. 

pManager->getSoundManager->PlaySong(“media/sounds/intro.mp3”);

This will play the specified .mp3 file in a loop, suitable for background music.
