Howdy peeps, I'm at the sound-design stage of my current game and I'm having all sorts of issues adding various sounds throughout. On several occasions, I've added sounds to objects only to have them disappear when I re-open the bbdoc at a later time. The second big issue is adding 'in-game' music. When I add an mp3 to the game-field, it cancels out all other sounds. Q1: Anyone else having these issues? Q2: mp3 is still the official format for both sound-fx and background music right? .caf or.aif any good? I'm using Mac 10.10.5 with V1.3.5 of BB, cheers.
1) Never seen it cancel out like that, is the volume of the music too high compared to the others? 2) Just mp3 for everything.
Hi @Andy, this is weird, I just opened the game and everything is playing just fine. I'm using standard 128k mono mp3's and all the levels are fine, I've been adjusting them in a demo sound-design file I make in Logic Pro X, just for the exact purpose of trying to level all music and fx prior to placing them into BB. Q: Is there some kind of audio writing process that goes on when I save the file that doesn't execute whilst loading sounds and testing into BB preview? I know we have 'Remove Unused Sound Objects' in the tools menu to help clear out sounds we've been testing, but not sure why I'm experiencing lost sounds on several occasions. I haven't exported to a device since applying the sound design, so I'll try that and report back, cheers.
Hi Phil, i have the same problem. I have a mp3 for bgm and mp3 for character jump. the character jump will not play any sound in all occasion while the bgm works fine. i put the bgm into the character jump and it doesn't work too. I tried the play preview sound button in character's property, the sound is not playing too. These are my mp3 music mp3 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2svdj4ulvqsn8c/025842884-lively-playful-mood-1-min-loop.mp3?dl=0 soundmp3 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/57qlznbzcgnc4or/buzzy_jump_01.mp3?dl=0
Hi @alienflaky, I downloaded your mp3's and dropped them both into the BB demo game 'Square Run' and they both played fine. I will say I have noticed a glitch/bug in BB, when you load in a new sound and hit play to preview, sometimes not all sounds will play. Close down the preview window and re-open and the sounds are there. Try clicking Tools > Remove Unused Sound Objects, then load in your two sounds, open preview, close preview, open it again. See if that works. @Andy, perhaps this is something you can look at/verify, plus, I've noticed that sometimes the edit pencil is not available on the sounds or images until I click away to the menu editor or another scene and then come back, it seems to be intermittent. It's available most of the time, but it's something I've noticed more when playing around with sounds.
This is driving me crazy right now working in BB1.3.5 and editing an action animation which is available once then later won't even come back by clicking away. Usually it intermittently works and I have a feeling it's related to me working on a game that was build with 1.0.17 but nonetheless, frustrated :x
