As promised, here's another piece that I'm working on for DROD, all the original points apply. Maybe a minute of music will call off the dogs of Software Patents in the forum. :)

http://www.funkbunny.com/caravel/contemp04.ogg

You'll recognize bits in there from other pieces I'm working on, because I tend to be rather thematic.

Yeah, well, I'll patent the patenting process! Can't beat that! ;)

I like this new one, Emmett! Not as much as the others though... I can't put my finger on it, but there's something in it that's niggling at me for some reason. Weird.

The latest one is very cool, I imagine it as a song playing when Beethro's furtively looking over his shoulder, wondering when the next monster's going to pop out.

Game on,

For some reason I just thought of having cartoon sneaking music for level 13, with pizzicato (or however it's spelled) strings playing. Probably wouldn't work as the default music, but an easter egg?

First drafts are always fun. This is a piece I'm currently working on with a working title of 'Beethro vs. The Serpents.'

http://www.funkbunny.com/caravel/serpents.ogg

Feedback is always delightful. Thanks!

A very Middle-Eastern theme...Beethro the snake charmer! It sounded cool, but I haven't had time to really absorb it yet. I think it fits well with serpents though.

Game on,

Ooh, tasty! Nice work, Emmett.

I really like Aggressive and I like what you've done to make Serpents. I'm excited to see what else you pull out of your funky rabbit.

I actually sat in my chair and thought how lucky I was that I was involved with DROD. That's what I call good music.

It worked fine for me just now...it goes straight to an .ogg file, so perhaps you need to right-click and save it instead.

Game on,

I was talking about the googlism link in his sig, not one of the .ogg files. Sorry for that confusion, I should have been more specific.

I believe agaricus gave some options in the thread he started with his own pieces of music. The best solution is probably Winamp.

Is your sound on?

Check your volume controls to see if the wave output is muted or not.

If not, then check your sound card and check that no other programs are using the sound card and stopping Winamp from producing sound.

You don't want wave output to be muted. Uncheck this box.

How do I do that?
Just close any other programs that use sound before running DROD. If DROD sound works then you know one of the programs you closed is competing for the sound card. You can figure out which one with more experimentation.

Oops, I said the wrong thing. What's wave output anyways?

Sound doesn't work for *any* of my programs at all.

Check your master volume control, and make sure it's not zeroed and not muted. Also, go digging through your control panel in the following fashion:

Control Panel
Multimedia
Audio

Make sure your sound card is there with current drivers.

Alright, your wav output looks like one complete sine wave shape overlayed with a flat line. Check to make sure that's not zeroed and not muted.

If that's still fine, there's probably a card-specific diagnostics program you can access, either on your hard drive or on the disc that came with the sound card, which will be able to help you further. There might be some itnernal setting that's not coming through.

Stupid question: are you speakers plugged in?

Dragging this thread up again to mention that there's a new version of Serpents up at Emmett's site. This is the longest piece yet, 3:48, and I really like it! Keep up the good work, Emmett! :thumbsup
