Hi,
I know you guys are very busy with EV3, but could for the next evo patch or some unsupported hack, could you allow background processing?

thanx

Hmm and make the game as slow as a slug with bricks tied to its head? Don't think so.

It's a little late for EV:O, I believe... but this would be nice in EV3, even if the only "background processing" was with the CD player...

And on my G3, that would be a very nice idea... it's so damn fast that I usual get killed before I even have a chance to get my secondary weapon fired... also, my damn missiles now go in straight lines... not useful! (esp at 500cr. a go!)

WARNING: I cannot be held responsible for the above, as apparently my cats have learned how to type.

I don't mind the slowdown, EVO is a great game with a great story, but having to stop everything else to play it is just wrong.

Background processing would be cool. They could just make a check box, "allow background processing" in the prefs.

It may never happen, but we can hope :).

Wait a minute, if background processing is what I think it is, then EV:O already has it. When I play EV:O, I normally either have a few mp3 tracks playing in the background, or a CD playing, no slow down, nothing. I am running a G3 though

I didn't mean to do that.
Please, continue.

Yeah, you can play MP3s in the background. I do that too. But if I am using a playlist, every time I finish a song, I have to punch escape and go back to the main menu for a second to allow the mp3 player to go to the next song. An option to allow background processing would be nice, I agree.

Woah... "the Necromicon" and "Chrestomanci", please explain your set-ups (version of Override, version of MacOS, mp3 players and computer type)... With my 1.0.2 Override, 8.6 MacOS, MacAMP 1.0b7, and 333 iMac, IT DOESN'T WORK

intresting, i can get music to play in the background, except it always stops at the end of the song. sombody must change that!

The difference is, I don't use macAMP. Use SoundApp, my personal favorite, or LameMP3, or SoundJam Free. I have used all of those to play MP3s in the backround. They are all available from VersionTracker.

That's what waitNextEvent() does. Somebody was talking about that earlier, maybe not this topic. <20 seconds later> Ah. It was on the "EV3 suggestions..." topic.

I'm using Override 1.02, Mac OS 9, Audion or sometimes Quicktime Player, on a Rev. D 350 iMac.
