Hekkus Sound System wrapper

[Louis]

Hi. Would someone who knows about dll building for Basic4ppc convert this .NET library from Sean Cross, Intuitex.com into one that works for us Basic4ppc game programmers who want multisounds and to control them in realtime? It allows 3 mods and 64 waves to be played from within your app simultaneously, on whatever speaker or speakers you want, at whatever volume you want. Lots of Basic4ppc programmers will benefit from it, especially us Pocket PC users. I am struggling with dll building at the moment but am determined to learn.
Thanks.

It is at http://www.intuitex.com
If you click on the PocketPC Libraries link, you should see the Hekkus.NET sound library for the .NET Framework. There should be one on the site for the desktop as well but I'm unsure where that is.
HTH.

I've done a small modification to the Hekkus .Net wrapper and you can now use it.
The change I did was to add a Value property for Music / Sound objects.
There is a small example inside that should help you get started.
I know very little about the Hekkus Sound System so I won't be able to help too much.
This is their site: http://www.shlzero.com/modules.php?n...showpage&pid=1
Make sure to read the product license there.

There are four important files in the zip file:
hssNetDesktop.dll - Add this file using the Components dialog, to the desktop.
hssNetDevice.dll - Add this file using the Components dialog, to the device.
hssDesktop.d - The native dll file, should be located on the same folder as your source code (desktop only).
hssDevice.d - Should be copied to Basic4ppc folder: \Program Files\Basic4ppc (device only).

Where do you find the time to do all the work you do Erel.
Have you got a team of designers behind you ?

[Erel]

A small team (me and another guy).
Sometimes things look more complicated than they really are.
This wrapper is only a small modification of the original wrapper.

Hi Erel, Nice job!
Are you going to include this wrapper in upcoming Basic4ppc versions?

Also, for users of this library who are stuck, I attached the class references so you can have some direction in what each class is and what all the functions in the class do. HTH.

As I haven't tested this library too much, and didn't write any documentation about it I'm not including this library with all other libraries,

I want to ask one thing: did this library support .mp3 file?

Hi. It only supports .mod and .wav. There are free software programs that convert .mp3 to .wav quite nicely. One I know of is called "ABC Audio Converter" from "Process TextGroup". HTH.
