Hi,
How can I get sound loaded with dbLoadSound contents into a cstring? I know could use the file read commands to do this, but I cannot use this, I need the sound loaded from memory.

I guess you would use memblocks but I have never used them and dont know how to use them.

Any idea how to use do this?

Thanks,
Alex

Well - this is one where I'd forget dbLoadsound, and either use DarkGDK file IO or some standard C/C++ file io to load the data from the sound file directly to the CSTRING.

you'll need to know your sound file format well and know it before you try so you at least have a good idea how to write the loading code.

google about the sound file and the CSTRING thingy - whatever you're trying to do has a reason they want the data in a cstring and they probably have some info some where on hints, tips, why, rules, etc.
