Is XACT still the advised way to get sounds working in Mono?
I’ve been playing about with this today, there are two things that are causing me some irritation.
-
Adding the xgs, xwb and xsb to the contect folder and setting Copy Always has no effect, the files don’t get copied to the Debug/Release folders. You have to do this manually. This isn’t a huge problem, but it foxed me for a bit.
-
the code to get the sounds playing in game is really simple, but the sound is bloody horrible! Instead of the nice gentle pings and pongs I have in XACT the played sounds are more like an Elk being castrated!
I’ve been following RB Whitaker’s tutorials on sound which I know are now quite dated.
Am I doing something silly?
