2 jcsnider Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We're limited by MonoGame in the audio regard. .ogg for music and .wav for sound is all we /can/ support using our current audio libraries - and we really don't want to switch. While MP3 and other audio formats should be trivial I think it becomes more complex for the monogame team when dealing with cross platform.  Best, JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just placed the music wrong spot, but It's not showing up in my map options while editing? Neither are my sounds. I assume it's a user error, I'm just not sure what.

0 Gibier Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Indeed but now the recent pc should have enough space for those format. No more need to break the audio by compressing it cause of the device drive space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
