Soundformat OGG-Vorbis

[FoeOfTheBee]

Ogg is a good I idea, but I don't think it's an urgent issue. As Bvdorp said, it will only be significant for long sounds, like backgroung music or dialog fluff in a campaign. So I'm for it, but I think it isn't won't be an important feature until there are campaigns and event triggered background music.

I say add it in anyways and let modders test it out for themselves and use it where appropriate, as we'll need something like it anyways for when background music is implemented....

Actually, for background music, I'd also consider mpc which is considered both better quality and more CPU efficient than ogg.

I am ALL about adding events to the game that can trigger new background music though, to give it an extra feel of excitement during a huge battle etc. Personally, I'd really like to see something like this happen in game :) This might have to wait for CEGUI to be embedded into Spring.

But people would want to be able to shove their own music into spring if they dotn like the default, so Ogg would be better altho ideally mp3 would be best

Mmm, I've still got my music playlists from the last time this discussion came around lined up for uploading when we finally get active music support. I suppose I should see if I can dig up free versions of the songs (most are classical, making it a lot easier) so that it can be shared around legally...

No, i was just making fun of the «Bermuda» GUI, again . (in case you didn't noticed the change i made to the quote)

Ha, and jouninkomiko, don't start working on the GUI in the near future. I will rather see you hang around for a while before another dev (you) disapears again.

[jouninkomiko]

haha you jerk! I actually kinda am workin on the GUI... in a backwards way. hopefully there will be a proof of concept sometime in the next few weeks.
