[WIP] Guitar

[amrcidiot]

Beta testers needed. I still have some bugs I need to fix.
So if anyone (coder preferred) wants to take a look at my lua file and test out the game, send me a pm or im.

I'm working on a VERY simple lua app, Guitar.
controls are as follows
x-E chord
o-F chord
/\-G chord
[ ]-A chord
up-Eflat chord
left-D chord
right-C chord
down-B chord
l-drum beat1
r-drum beat2

as I said, real simple.
It's my first project, so it will be low quality a first release.
I have one question, however.
what extensions must audio files be, and how can I convert them to that extension.
thanks,

they can be anything i presume, download VDrum and look at that..

[amrcidiot]

i get a freeze at my loading screen.
it has to be certain settings i think for .wav 'cuz just a normal .wav does not work.
hmm....

[BigSanFrey]

try mp3.. they work tut here

Look at my Drum Simulator, same idea, get code or whatever, as long as it helps!

I don't know what they have To be but I do know what can convert them:
I used Blaze media program.
and also I love music so I'm really exited about going on this game.

there was a tutorial thing the other day mentioned of the PSPU front page about converting certain music files to wav format to be played with my drum app, VDrum. Have a look for it, theres a link to a program that can do all the converting for you

[Freshmilk]

Hold on, I'll get you a tutorial that'll tell you all the types and how to convert them, i used this for my first LUA project. Just gimme a minute. EDIT: http://www.evilmana.com/tutorials/lua_tutorial_10.php

Applying Sound
luaplayer can play the the following formats: UNI, IT, XM, S3M, MOD, MTM, STM, DSM, MED, FAR, ULT or 669 for music. WAV files can be used for sound.It is possible to convert MIDI files into the above mentioned formats.One program that can do this is Modplug Tracker. Also, keep in mind that luaplayer DOES NOT support mp3 files.
After we learn a few sound commands we will apply these with some things we learned previously to create a small program.

If I were you, I'd follow the tutorials on that site; they're very useful, that how I made my first lua program, and thats what I used to teach AndyMosh to code, lul. Modplug tracker is a very useful program, and I'd suggest you go download if you're planning to work in lua; note that certain versions of lua can use MP3's now, that tutorial is outdated, but still I'd suggest using midi sounds if you're just planning to make a soundboard style application. Good luck with that, and feel free to ask me anything about lua or modplug tracker if you get stuck; my email is Freshmilk_05@hotmail.com.

First will be very limited release

so far the gui is a little sucky, but that's why we have first releases, right?
thanks a lot guys!!
