been trying to move song data and audio to an external source, which doesn’t seem to be going well
i might add a leaderboard system which uses the same system though

#203

update: it seems to be working well

#204

maybie you could try to make it online and have it show scores from other people.

#206

that’s exactly what i’m trying to do
but hey, i got song loading to work
now i just need to play external sounds

#207

i know this is a month late but there is no way to add custom notes. i didn’t think about doing that. so all notes are song notes

#208

for your adventure in making external audio, here’s some code that i found on stackoverflow:

var sound = new Howl({
    src: ['https://qualtrics.com/ControlPanel/File.php?F=F_Rjgarh85'],
    format: ['mp3'],
    autoplay: true,
    loop: true,
    volume: 0.5,
});

i guess you’ll have to control the “low-level” Howls yourself.

they probably have the meaning of life on stackoverflow (assuming the topic wasn’t closed for being too general).

real quick, may i please have the audio files for sprongy?
i already have the audio files for tetrisA, tetrisB, mule, and my own song, spoof’d 2
sprongy is all that’s left
never mind

song audio works fine at first, but when i play a song more than once there’s multiple songs playing at different times
how do i stop howler audio correctly
(also the song audio doesn’t stop when the project is paused in the editor)
(double also the audio stops early)

introducing 8bit engine v4.5!
possibly the last update you’ll need to download!
we literally moved all of the songs onto github!
qmbz hbnf | download
(note: i am aware of the song bug, if you know how please tell me how to fix it)
(edit: i just fixed a crash with going back to the main menu after playing)
(also tetrisA is fixed)
(edit 2: i fixed the song bug, mostly)

#212

well here’s the howler docs:
GitHub - goldfire/howler.js: Javascript audio library for the modern web.

you can call the “unload” function on the howl instance to stop and unload the audio. good news, the unload script runs when the project is paused. bad news, it doesn’t get called when it goes to another frame. so i guess you’ll have to create a global array to store all the created howl instances, and then code it to stop every sound in that array in the default script of every frame.

I would just need the code for all the notes (what each note is called and how to make them appear in game) if thats possible

#214

everything related to notes in-game is in the “game” frame

you’d also need to edit the editor code to be able to place the custom notes that you want. the editor code is 350 lines long though

#215

probably gonna add a mod loader at some point

#216

fixed the options system

#217

Do you have a wick file (or an html file) i could try?

#218

if you mean changing the built-in controls, yes.
if you mean keybinds that are set by the user, no.

#222

You can actually make the user use their custom keybinds
