I want to know if in allegro 4.4, there is a way to load music in OGG format instead of the MIDI format.

I know some plug-ins exists for loading PNG. So I though there could be one for OGG. Else I'll need to convert them in MIDI which could change the output results.

Enjoy! and have fun

There was an addon called alogg, but the host site no longer exists. Maybe someone will still have a copy floating around they can upload for you.

edit: You could also try using BASS.

logg comes with Allegro 4.4 and is capable of ogg playback and streaming.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

I found logg website:

http://opensnc.sourceforge.net/logg/

On my windows OS, I downloaded and built allegro manually so the logg files are there.

On my linux OS, allegro was installed from the repository so the logg files, like "logg.h" file, are not there.

Still, I could probably just add the source code of logg directly into my project and it should work.

I could do the same with loadpng as I will end up needing it. ( I did some searching and loadpng is installed on my linux system)

Enjoy! and have fun

On Linux, just build from source. The addons are part of 4.4

If I build from source, that means that the continuous integration will also need to build it from the source. It's doable, but just a bit more complicated and more time consumed by the gitlab runner.

Enjoy! and have fun
