I should be able to handle that music code, however, are you sure you want to use FMOD and not bass? I'm not sure of their differences, but I think bass can do more. FMOD may have more for MOD-type files though. So... the background music is xm/it/etc... and sound effects are wav or mp3 depending on their size?

By the channel numbers, you mean how many simultaneous samples playing?

As for terrain, that sounds really cool, except I'm not sure where I have it in my storyline to go out of town... I guess we could throw that in. We'll need to talk more about story in an IM program or something. I'm on GMT 6pm to 4am usually, give or take a few absences. I'll try to keep it on with informative away messages if I'm gone. All my IM s/ns are in my profile.

I'm open to whatever music library you want to use be it FMOD or BASS, I really dont mind terribly much. As for outdoor scenes, as I recall the intro did call for the lead character to be out in a field. Anyway, this is just me playing :) This book has some nice stuff it in on generating sky domes with procedural textures for the clouds, so I can do real-time animated clouds and weather effects. I'll add you to my IM contact list next time I'm online.

Sssh, quit nit picking :) I bought the book, come on- the character is going to have to go out in the big wide world sometime. Besides, outdoor scenes give a good excuse to create some pretty particle effects, rain, snow etc.

Actually I read an interesting article on creating flocks of birds that fly around using a slightly modified particle engine.

Hmm really think I need to change my avatar, really sick of looking at myself :/

I read about flocking in my game programming gems books, but it's been so long....

I was just down at the bookstore (obviously) and saw those game programming gems books, was thinking of buying them. Could be useful reference material. But at $AU160 each, I might have to wait till payday. Somehow I think food comes before programming :)

I doubt Morrowind would use CrystalSpace, but hey- could be wrong.

As a side note does anyone here happen to have an honurs degree in mathematics. I was looking at this paper from SIGGRAPH 2000 written on realtime cloud animation(with really nice shadows and those pretty little rays of light that poke out through the clouds). Understand about three quarters of it, but whoa-boy, some of the later stuff is totally doing my head in.

This is gonna take me the better part of a year to figure out. Oh well, I want a pretty RPG :)
