Changelog in 2.1.1:

• Removed unneccesarry scripts in the Components menu
• Fixed issue with Mute Music actually calling Mute All
• Revamped code structure (prepped for exposure in the Paid Version)
• Application.LoadLevelAsync support (additive will not be supported)
• Ability to Pause everything
• Ability to get current playing song easily
• Ability to get full current scene playlist easily
• Ability to go to Next or Previous song in scene playlist
• Fixed issue with minimizing unity
• Added more to the demo scene, 2 pages of functionality now
• Fixed issue with callbacks

In 2.1.1, the structure of the code is different so you'll have to at least reimport a couple things:
DemoTwo.cs (if you're using it)
SoundManager.dll
SoundManager.prefab

FYI, a change like this most likely won't happen again.

Just in case, I would click 'view all' on your current SoundManager prefab and take a screenshot of your SoundConnections and SFX. Worst case scenario, you'll have to recreate the SoundManager prefab and add the component from Component > AntiLunchBox > SoundManager.

Let me know if you have issues updating.

Changelog in 2.0:

• Added a Sound Effects Management and Pooling System

• Added ability to set music and/or sound effects enabled
• Added ability to get a SoundConnection for a certain level

• Modified system to be able to handle temp change when the pitch is changed
• Fixed issue with crossfade time changing forever if the clip length was less than the crossfade length
• Fixed issue with volume not updating when the crossfade duration was 0, causing a new track to sometimes start at maximum volume
• Fixed issue where if you played another track manually, but switched while it was crossing in-- it would finish the cross in before successfully crossing out
• Clips will now be removed if you select none
• Fixed issues with Unity4 deprecatd functions

Hey all,

Thanks to Yusuf AKDAG for alerting me of this issue.

In the recent release there was a build issue. I have fixed this and the new version (2.1.1) is on the Asset Store.

The structure of the code is different so you'll have to at least reimport a couple things:
DemoTwo.cs (if you're using it)
SoundManager.dll
SoundManager.prefab

FYI, a change like this most likely won't happen again.

Just in case, I would click 'view all' on your current SoundManager prefab and take a screenshot of your SoundConnections and SFX. Worst case scenario, you'll have to recreate the SoundManager prefab and add the component from Component > AntiLunchBox > SoundManager.

Let me know if you have further issues.

The Free Version just got an update to 2.1.2.

There are a couple bug fixes and optimizations added. This update, however, does not include the NGUI intregration, PlayMaker integration, or UI facelift that the full version recently got.

Happy gamemaking,
AntiLunchBox Studios

 

HEY ALL,

For Mac Users there's been some iffy behavior in the editor where it doesn't continue a playlist in certain conditions. I'm posting the fix in the next update. I'll try and have the fix go through approval faster.

Hey guys, an update just went up to the app store with the volume = 0 fix.

 

Hi,

I'm testing the free version of SoundManager to decide if I want to buy it...

* How do I set up an 3D sound environment. When I use the PlaySFX-method I can hand over a Vector3 for the position. But how do I listen to this? Is there any functionality built in SoundManagerPro or do I have to use those AudioListeners from Unity?

* Where can I find in-depth documentation about Playmaker integration and additional how-tos? The documentation here: http://antilunchbox.com/soundmanagerpro/soundmanagerpro-documentation/ is only showing the interface of the SoundManager.

* The scenes 1 to 3 are empty in the Demo folder, so the example Scene cannot be tested as it should.

* Why is there a difference in the GUI/Inspector of my version? In the screenshots below you can see, that there is a difference between the version you used for the tutorial videos and mine.

 

Hey FrozenTarzan,

Here's the answers to your questions:

Yes you have to use an AudioListener. There is normally one always attached to your Main Camera, but you can set it on any object you want.

Unfortunately, there's no official documentation for PlayMaker integration yet. I will be making a video for PlayMaker / NGUI / 2D Toolkit integration soon. However, SoundManagerPro PlayMaker integration does have tooltips and descriptions on every Action and field. Just hold your mouse over any field (or action in the Action Browser) and a description explaining how to use it will show up. So far there hasn't been any questions about the integration so it's holding up for now.

You want to start in the SoundManagerProDemoScene. It doesn't matter if those scenes are empty. They are just there to show switching between scenes. In your implementation, all you have to do is include the SoundManager in your starting scene (in this case it's the SoundManagerProDemoScene). The behavior that occurs when switching between scenes later is handled for you.

That is because I stopped updating the free version as often. It is behind by quite a bit in updates, which includes updates to the look as well. I put a disclaimer in the comments. I had originally planned to keep it up to date, but DLL's are not as secure as I'd like. Piracy lead to the discontinuation of the free version.

Hope that explains it for you! Feel free to ask anymore questions and I'll help you out the best I can,

ALB

 

Thanks a lot for your quick reply!

* Got 3D sounds working.

* Looking forward to the documentation, but it seems quite straight forward.

* Just forgot to add the scenes in the build-options, so working now.

* So then I will close my testing session of SoundManagerPro... and tell my boss to buy it ;-)

 

sorry to hear

did you try .net obfuscators, number of free ones which work pretty well, at least with .net, never tried with mono though, but i dont see why they would not work.

 

Hello. thanks for good plugin!

I have a question. Following is process I want.

1. Two scenes is in my project
2. First scene is Sound Tool Scene. so it contain test ui. (can play all SoundConnections)
3. Other Scene is Game Scene.
4. Sound Director use Sound Tool Scene.
5. Two scene share SoundManager GameObject with Prefab.
6. Sound Director add SoundConnection to SoundManager GameObject and apply it to prefab.
7. SoundManager Prefab is conflicted.

Why is SoundManager Prefab conflicted?.

 

O wow, missed that!

But ya, I have it obfuscated it in my last update. It's just that most of the affordable ones easily have deobfuscators available online. And it would be crazy for me to drop 800 on a legitimate one at this point.

 

Hey ParkHong,

You don't want to have a SoundManager in each scene. Just have it in the scene you start with. You also don't have to apply it to the prefab. If you want to save a modified SoundManager prefab, I suggest you create a new one (drag it to a new folder). You should watch the youtube videos to see how SMP works:

Hope that helps,
ALB

 

Yes, I don't want to have a SoundManager GameObject in each game scene. but I want to have a SoundManager GameObject in GameScene and SoundManager Test Scene.

so we need to shere SoundManager GameObject using prefab between each scene.

is it correct that SoundManager Prefab is conflicted when SoundManager GameObject is applied?

Let me know, please.

Thanks

 

Oh, OK

I see what you are trying to do. Just haven't had anybody use it like that. I'll need to see if that works since I haven't tested it. If it doesn't, then I would suggest just having two separate SoundManagers.

Hi! Im implementing this in my game, and is going great, but I found the following connundrum

Right now when Im firing a machine gun or similar, the clip is automatically set to loop instead of playing once. Unfortunately I use this code.

p.s. sorry about the confusing code, this is inside a coroutine so basically it stays inside the coroutine until the trigger is not pressed. when it exits it checks if the clip hasnt changed for some reason.

Problem is , I dont know how to check if a sound sample is already playing, so I have no idea how to implement this now.

 

Hey Azrael,

I answered this in the other forum. Hope that helps
