BZNotifybzflag: blast007 opened pull request #317 "Update CodeQL workflow" (https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/pull/317)02:53
SpringTankI was looking at OpenAL as a potential replacement for bzflag's current sound system. It doesn't look too complecated to implement, i just haven't tried it yet.03:07
SpringTankwhat are your thoughts?03:07
blast007SpringTank: https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/pull/158  See my last comment there03:16
blast007what's your reasoning for wanting to replace it?03:18
blast007"it" being our current audio code03:18
SpringTankit is true openAL will not take into account the distance of an object, but I feel like that could be implemented pretty eailly. OpenAL seems to already supports the dopler effect.03:23
SpringTankOpenAL also appears to support a wider range of sound files.03:23
blast007I didn't think it supported audio file decoding at all03:28
blast007that was part of why I was using alure in my original PR, because it provided a decoder for wav files03:32
SpringTankif i'm readying the documentation correctly, it supports all kinds of wav files03:37
SpringTankso maybe not formates like mp3, but it's a start at least03:37
blast007where are you seeing this documentation?03:38
