Sorry for appearing think, but what exactly is FMOD? I've seen reference to it in the product updates on the main page. And wondered if anyone knew a little bit more about it. Cheers! :) -Mikey F

Its the part of Blitz that controls the sound and music and is a licenced product.

Does this mean we can use some of the code I see in that website to control sound from blitz (IE: passing calls as to a DLL???)??? I know that is a pretty ignorant question bbut ??? -RZ

No not really, its built into blitz, and its not the entire library that is available with blitz. You could use the fmod dll with a decls to utilize some of its functionally that isn't used by blitz I would think, but I believe that their licence fees are on the expensive side.

Actually, FMOD's licensing fees are very reasonable...depends on the type of project you are doing. If you give your project away, then FMOD is free. cb
