[v1.0.0] DW2 Mod Loader, First Mod(s) with C# source!

Post by TylerIN »

Moved content to Reddit because these forums keep thinking it is spam.

Check out the release here on r/DistantWorlds and r/DistantWorlds2.

Hey, did you see anything in the source about what sound codecs/containers DW2 will load? I see it has an ffmpeg library... so hopefully that means pretty much anything?


I ask because the vanilla tracks are mp3, and it would be great to export music as literally anything but mp3.

I'm not going to talk about what's in the source. Try experimenting with flac or wav?

NAudio is used, so... https://markheath.net/post/media-founda ... -naudio-17
This means MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, and includes streaming from the internet. It can even pull the audio out of video files.

The discord message was deleted because it was an old version. Updated it to just point to a Discord message that links back here from the official DW2 Discord #mods channel.

I guess the Reddit post for the mod manager was deleted because of spam...... :roll:

This file hosting issue is why we need the Steam workshop.
