*ahem*

…oh hey.

new layout.

neat.

FINISHED the entire world map.

ALSO, many of you might be happy, others sad, that I've converted the soundtrack from MP3 to MIDI files… Yes, really. WHY?

Well, I thought It'd be cool if the music for each area wasn't so repetitive. I've made a midi version of the Maibuu Rainlands theme, and it's a whopping 16 minutes long. It fades and gradually changes until it loops, so that every couple of minutes the environment feels alittle different and the mood will always be evolving.

AS WE SPEAK, I'm attempting to re-program the water so that it doesn't slow the game down, the water environments run slowly when there's rain as well, so I'm going to fix that with some mad crazy programming. AND, so far, so good.

Side note, I went to the doctor today, turns out I have strep; and it sucks… SO, for the next week, I'm gonna be terribly sick. I'm on amoxicillin so hopefully that'll help…

ANDDD I'm done reprogramming the water.

TIME TO TEST IT.

stand by…

and it…

looks awesome and doesn't lag :]

And, now the rainfall stops at the water, so It's not raining underwater.

Next, I think I'll program in ladders

PEACE YA'LL

Beans really aren't that cool. Anyway, another update, I'm working on some boss music right now haha

MIDI would be a lot faster, sure. But it's a much lower quality as you know. Sounds like absolute crap on older sound cards, or just the wrong ones.

Yea, but I'm on a laptop that's like 4 years old, I can only assume if it sounds good on mine, it should sound good on other systems.

If your sound card can't handle midi you should probably upgrade =p

If your sound card can't handle midi, you don't have one.

@Ferret: LOL that made my day hahaha

I don't have a sound card and my motherboard handles midi fine :/

DSG 14 years, 6 months ago

Well, good for your motherboard.

MIDI all depends on the client's audio card… use OGG or something?

why isnt midi universal?
