Back from Cairo

Balanced Screenshot IIIBack from the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2009 in Cairo. Our team, Runtime Error, reached the top 6 of the Game Development category with Balanced. We had lots of people coming to our booth there, and they all liked our game. Some people found it a bit too complex, though, I'll have to blame the Xbox 360 Gamepad for that. Here's a set of pictures for you!

NeLSound XAudio2 Driver (Update)

The project to run NeLSound on top of Microsoft's new XAudio2 API is already nearing it's final stages of development. The driver currently implements all basic functionality required by NeLSound, as well as the some of the environment effects (commonly known as EAX), and has support for the OGG Vorbis music format. I am currently working on adding support for the ADPCM sample buffer format used by NeL to the driver, and I will soon work on the rest of the environment effects implementation as well. Also, the new owners of NeL have made available a new official website for NeL over at http://dev.ryzom.com/, and you can browse the code of the new sound driver at http://dev.ryzom.com/repositories/browse/nel/nel/src/sound/driver/xaudio2.

NeLSound XAudio2 Driver

I have recently started working on an XAudio2 driver for NeLSound, which will allow OpenNeL to make use of Microsoft's new XAudio2 sound library (included in the latest DirectX SDK), in addition to the three sound libraries already currently supported by OpenNeL (FMod, DSound and OpenAL). The project currently does not implement all functionality yet, as the rest of the features will be implemented in the coming weeks, but it already runs the sound_sources sample included with OpenNeL pretty nicely without problems. The code can be downloaded from http://nel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nel/trunk/nel/src/sound/driver/xaudio2/, and is released, like all other available OpenNeL code, under version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
