I was looking through the new OGG commands and there was only a command for altering the volume for each music loaded.

I can finally confirm that it does not. Having to set the volume for each OGG file separately isn't really a good solution.

It Would be nice to have a global volume control but it can't really be that big of a deal.

I mean...

+ Code Snippet

function PlayMusicOGGv2( musicId as integer, loopFlag as integer, volume as integer )
	
	SetMusicVolumeOGG( musicId, volume )
	PlayMusicOGG( musicId, loopFlag )
	
endfunction

But most games allows the player to alter the music volume at any time. Adding to that if you create music that fades in and out it's kind of a hassle. What the old music commands had was one system setting and then separate settings for each music file. And with the possibility now to play multiple OGG files at the same time there's only more need for a system command. Yes, a manager can be coded manually for this, but it requires a lot more work than it did before.

I think TGCs customers have been quite spoiled over the years with all these 'we'll do it for you' commands. lol
It's not too hard to code a quick routine which scans through all loaded OGG tracks and changes their volume, I think we kinda expect that someone else will do it for us nowadays.
