Description

Displays FMOD library configuration dialog box, giving users ability to set output sound driver and device. MMB also allows setting configuration through this script command. If you call FMODConfig command without parameters...

FMODConfig("")

...configuration dialog box will appear:

 

As already mentioned alternative, configuration can be set through FMODConfig command itself using parameters, thus avoiding configuration dialog box. There are two parameters separated with comma.

With first one you set sound output driver using one of following numbers:

1 - DirectX sound
2 - Windows Media Wave Out
3 - No Sound

With second parameter you set status of MPEG accurate VBR ( Variable Bit Rate) timing:

0 - MPEG accurate VBR timing off
1 - MPEG accurate VBR timing on

Put into command, parameters look like this:

FMODConfig("1,0")

In example above, green number represents sound output driver setting.
Red number represents status of MPEG accurate VBR timing.

Code Examples

**Show FMOD library configuration dialog box:
FMODConfig("")

**Set configuration to Windows Media Wave output driver with
**MPEG accurate VBR timing off:
FMODConfig("2,0")

**Set configuration to DirectX Sound output driver with
**MPEG accurate VBR timing on:
FMODConfig("2,1")

Additional Info

Configuration dialog box is displayed on top and project's window can't be used until user closes dialog box.

Description

Sets color of Audio Visualization elements.

First parameter sets label of Audio Visualization object you want settings be applied to. For example,

AudioVis

Second parameter sets visualization color.

Color setting uses RGB ( Red, Green, Blue) system containing 3 components.

Each component can have one of 256 levels. Greater value of component increases color intensity. If you specify value 0, color component will not be used. Value 255 uses maximum color intensity.

Color parameter for Audio Visualization is a comma-separated array of string values, each representing one RGB component (first: red, second: green, third: blue) in value range 0-255.

 

Both Analyzer and Oscilloscope visualizations have background color

that can be changed using following parameter:

BACKGROUND=R,G,B

Put with numerical RGB values:

BACKGROUND= 150, 79, 205

Analyzer visualization uses two color settings:

First you set RGB values for bar color:

RGB(255,0,0)

And after comma, add RGB values for peak color:

RGB(0,0,255)

Put together, second parameter for analyzer looks like this:

Oscilloscope visualization uses only one (line) color setting:

Example of RGB values for oscilloscope line color:

RGB(255,0,0)
