hi, I got these problems with dbpro..


1 : when I try to create a random number ( 1-4 ) then add it to a sequence, it always creates the SAME sequence, no matter how many times I dun the .exe.
here is a snippet of code that I`m using:



2 : is it just me, or does the remstart / remend not work ? when compiling my code, it came up with errors in the lines between remstart & remend ?

3 : is it possible to create sounds within darkbasic ? or do you have to load them ? if you have to load them, anybody got and good sites they know of, where I can get free `beep` tones ?

1. Use RANDOMIZE TIMER() first

2. They do work, but if you are using the demo then just use rem instead

3 : No sounds in DBP, only when you run a program and press too many keys, you get a funny little sound saying "HEY! Get off my keys!", so you have to load them in. Sorry, don't know where to get "beep" sounds from, although I would like to know aswell.

DarkBASIC Professional is the best programming utility.

@Daz

Technically that is not true, you could create beep sounds using memblocks.

Rob, I`ve never used memblocks before.....

would it be to much to ask for a quick run over on how to make sounds ?

or would it get too indepth ?

Put it this way, it isn't a 5 minute job and you would be quicker downloading sounds from the web.

Memblocks are where you modify the actual bits which make up graphics / sound data and are not really suited to newbies.

However, I might be able to provide a beep sound.

Normally though, you load in sounds in MP3, wave or MIDI format.

the remstart and remend only ignores 99% of the code I put between it. On the odd occasion it sometimes tries to read it and brings up errors. Its kinda disconcerting

If you search about the forums there's quite a bit about editing and viewng the internal data of sounds, presumably you could recreate sounds without files in such ways.

I have a feeling you were asking if you can directly acces either A: The internal PC Speaker or B: MIDI notes and the answer is, not easily no. But it is possible, there just aren't direct commands for it like in other B A S I C s

Coming Soon! Kangaroo2 Studio... wait and quiver with anticipation! lol

You can make beep sounds extremely easily using Soundwrench, Goldwave, Soundforge and many other sound editing utilities.
