SOUNDS AND MUSIC FAQ

1. Where can I find free sounds to use in my games or applications?
2. How can I create my own music?
3. What is the Ogg Vorbis audio file format (.ogg files)?

1. Where can I find free sounds to use in my games or applications?

Sounddogs.com provides thousands of free sounds. More links are also available here.

 

2. How can I create my own music?

The Adventure Maker package contains a free utility to create your own music, called "Music Maker". To launch it, run Adventure Maker, load a project (or create a new one), click "External Programs", and then click "Music Maker".

Help for this program can be found here.

 

3. What is the Ogg Vorbis audio file format (.ogg files)?

Ogg Vorbis is a free (public-domain) audio file format that compares to MP3 in terms of quality/size.

In order to use it with Adventure Maker, you must download the free Ogg Vorbis codec available at the following URL:
http://www.adventuremaker.com/more_downloads.htm

The files compressed in the Ogg Vorbis format usually have the ".ogg" extension.

Important note: when you distribute your project, make sure that the codec (downloadable from the link above) is included in the installation package of your setup program, and that it is automatically executed at the end of the installation process (to do so, just add it to the list of "root files" and "files to run at the end of the installation" in the "Distribution Options" window).
