Hi, can anyone please explain to me what happens to media handles that get saved with a saved game? Say I'm playing a song and save the game in the middle of the song. What happens after I load the game? I tried it and it seems to me that music does play but it starts right from the start. How can that be prevented - or, to put it straight - is there any way of restoring a game and start the music where it was when the game was saved?

thanks

you have to get the current position of your clip, and then jump to this position. the engine doesn't handle this separately, so you've got to write code for it (but in most cases, you should use var_nsave for handles).

joey.

thanks joey!

but that's kinda problematic, isn't it? I may be wrong but I think that you can't play any media from any other position than it's start.

you could play the media at a very high speed for one second without volume (it's possible, isn't it?). then let it run normal speed and turn up volume. just a guess, i think this could work.

It may only be possible to do it via DLL but not in C-Script. If you're learning C# (and not C++, which C++ takes a lot of time to learn and master), you might want to wait for Conitec to migrate their C++ code over to .net (or maybe not but I'm hoping that if Conitec want to test 3DGS for new version of Windows code-named Longhorn, then Conitec will need to port 3DGS over to .net to make it work for Longhorn).

Anyway, sorry and I didn't mean to hijack your thread--but I just though I'd let you know if you don't want to learn C++ but would like to have a feature for saving song position for that song, which is not possible with C-Script.

Thanks for your replies, guys!

actually it's possible as i said...
Code:

---

// time jumping needs, should be 1

var jump_time = 1;



// moves pos seconds forwards

function media_jump(handle, pos, vol) //media handle, position in seconds (!), volume after jumping

{

    media_tune(handle, 0.1 /*or 1, i don't know*/, 100 * pos * (1/jump_time), 0);

    sleep(jump_time);

    media_tune(handle, vol, 100, 0);

}

joey.

cool! thanks!
