OS 6.7 Delayed Clashes and Effects with Fett263 Prop File

NoSloppy · August 24, 2022, 5:03am

Keep in mind that currently there are 7 wav players available in total. Hum and 2 smoothswings are constantly occupying 3 of those slots.
If you trigger more than 4 more sounds that need to overlap, you’re going to have to wait for the oldest one to finish playing it’s sound before a new sounds will be able to play. Long effect sounds exacerbate the issue.
This is the “dud” you get.
I have something in the works to kill off the oldest sound to make room for new.
See this thread and this video.

ProffieOS v7.x feature discussions - freeing wavplayer

Topic: Freeing a wavplayer when we run out. (such as spamming blasts). Ideally, this would be the oldest triggered effect that is not hum, swingl, or swingh. I thought I’d take a crack at this, but I’m doing something wrong when getting a currently occupied player because I still get ‘nothin’ reported. But I should be on the right track? Shouldn’t be a big deal to do, right? RefPtr<BufferedWavPlayer> PlayPolyphonic(Effect* f) { EnableAmplifier(); if (!f->files_found()) return RefPtr<BufferedWavPlayer>(nullptr); RefPtr<BufferedWavPlayer> player = GetFreeWavPlayer(); if (player) { player->set_volume_now(font_config.volEff / 16.0f); player->PlayOnce(f); current_effect_length_ = player->length(); } else { STDOUT.println("************************** Out of WAV players! Getting more...I think."); RefPtr<BufferedWavPlayer> effect = GetWavPlayerPlaying(f); effect->set_fade_time(0.003); effect->FadeAndStop(); effect.Free(); STDOUT.println("************************** ok freed?"); player = GetFreeWavPlayer(); if (player) { STDOUT.println("************************** Found freed player, about to 2nd attempt to player->PlayOnce()."); player->set_volume_now(font_config.volEff / 16.0f); player->PlayOnce(f); current_effect_length_ = player->length(); } else { STDOUT.println("************************** I got nothin. returning nothin."); } } return player; } The 2nd attempt to play is to prevent a dead click while we “reload” this time around.
