Technical forum / Re: Strange sound problem

Thank you for the quick reply Mnemonic!

I messed around in the registry, and indeed, changing the MasterVolume setting (from "ffff" too "ffffffff") did the job!

Technical forum / Strange sound problem
« on: August 13, 2020, 11:57:22 AM »
I've been trying out two different wireless so-called gaming headsets in the last days, Razer's Nari and Corsair's Void RGB Elite. For some reason, I only get sound from the left channel on both headsets while testing my game in Wintermute. The same thing happens with my previous games, and I've never had any complaint even similar to this. So the problem seems to be on my setup.

Soundpanning is set to false, so it can't have to do with that, and the correct sound device is set in the game settings windows when I start the game. When sounds are "previewed" by selecting them in the Wintermute interface, both channels play however. It only happens when I run the game, in both compiled and non-compiled versions.

Any help appreciated!

Technical forum / Re: No more updates for Wintermute?

I agree that it's extremely sad that WME isn't updated anymore. I've tried all the other major adventure game engines, and no other even comes close to WME for me. Visionare, for example, is a good engine with certain features that I would love to see in WME (primarily portability and scalable resolution), but it would take me at least 3 times longer to make a game with it.

And now we're all in desperate need of 64-bit, since Mac has dropped its support for 32-bit.

Got it! Sorry for being so stupid.

But, unfortunately the screen is cropped when I change my HD project to lower resolutions.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean with "startup.settings". Are you referring to "settings.exe"? If so, I get the same result when removing it from the folder.

That's good thinking. Let us know if you get it to work!

Technical forum / Subtitle problem in Mac conversion
« on: December 11, 2017, 08:14:38 PM »
A friend of mine is making a Mac version of my latest game with Wineskin Winery. Everything works fine, except for the subtitles. As I understand it, when the subtitle is on one line only, it works fine, but when it's on two lines, parts of the first line flicker. The behaviour differs slightly between windowed and full screen modes.

I use bitmap fonts, and the same thing happens regardless of which font I use.

Any ideas?

SOLVED: Bitmap fonts don't seem to work with OSX High Sierra. I had to make a direct path to a font included with macOS. Ironically, I initially made the bitmap font to make it compatible with other platforms than Windows.

Technical forum / Re: Strangest problem ever - registry path sound troubles
« on: December 07, 2017, 05:11:53 AM »
Hi Indra!

The registry path (typically) has to be changed at least a few times. I was now going to change it from "(game title) - pre beta" to "(game title) -beta" for example. I will a also make several final versions of my game, which can not share the same registry path. But regardless of changes, my problem was that ALL new registry paths I created (including the default ones created by WME) displayed the problem.

However, I found the root of the problem. WME creates a key in the registery under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. It has several entries (I'm sure I'm using the wrong term here), of which one is MasterVolume. The specifics for each entry seems to be created by your computer. For some reason, the value for MasterVolume is now set to ""ffff" on my two Windows computers. When I look at my previously created keys, it is set to "ffffffff". Changing this value solved the sound problem. So, for some reason, my machines have suddenly decided to set this value differently than before. So the problem was my computers, not in WME. Most likely, it has to do with the software I installed recently.

Technical forum / Strangest problem ever - registry path sound troubles

I just can't wrap my head around this: The sound for my Wintermute project has worked flawlessly this far. However, when I change the registry path, the sound suddenly only comes from the left channel! When I change back to the previous registry path, the sound comes from both channels again. This happens both with the compiled version and when I start the game from within WME. I'm on Win 8, but tested it on my Win 10 computer too, with the same result. It couldn't possibly be a hardware problem since it only affects my newly created registry paths.

When I take my old project files, from previous games, the same thing happens: The sound only comes from the left channel when I change the registry path, and works again when I change back. We're talking about small changes in the path, like changing a number.

The only thing I can think of that I've done between the working and the non-working registry paths is installing a little program called Audio Switch (which lets you change between audio sources with a hotkey) on both computers. I've uninstalled it without success.

I might add that I've studied the audio specifics on the newly created registry entries, and have found nothing that differs from the working entries.

Thankful for any suggestions!

Good idea, but it doesn't work for me. The text "Success, etc." never appears.

It seems like the problem is with Adrive, that hosts my files.

Does anyone have any tips about good file hosting services? I get all confused these days with all cloud services around. Most of the time, it's hard to get the relevant information from their sites, for some reason. All I need is the possibility to easily share files by simply sending links, and a reasonable price. (And no ridiculous Google warnings!)

Thank you Mnemonic. I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe I should contact the external host, and see what they say.

Any idea why Google Chrome gives a "Malicious Download Warning" on my WME-created demo?

Technical forum / Manual width for bitmap fonts
« on: June 10, 2014, 01:34:32 AM »
How do I manually manually specify width for each character in a bitmap font? I don't get ideal results using auto width.

Most characters work fine with auto width however, so the perfect thing would be if it was possible to only specify the width manually for some characters.
