[Openal-devel] IPACT - for Dan Peacock

[Daniel PEACOCK]

Hi Joss,

ISACT is no longer maintained and has been removed from our websites.
It's a shame because it was stuffed full with features (a very advanced
interactive music system, a simple GUI driven scripting system for creating
complex sounds, various high-level objects for controlling sound playback
behaviour (e.g random selection of wavefiles and parameters, mulit-layering
of sound effects, a cool 3D path editor for preprocessed sound animations),
and a real-time editing interface for updating parameters while playing an
ISACT enabled game.   It has been used in a few commercial games, most
recently Bioware's Mass Effect.

The editor is for Windows, but the run-time has been ported to Windows,
Mac, Linux, Xbox and Xbox 360 at different points in time.

I am speaking passionately about it because I was one of the programmers
who worked on it, so I would like to see it live again.  It *may* be
possible for us to open-source the code if enough people were interested in
looking at it.   It needs a bit of updating and tidying up first though!

Hi Dan, (if you happen to be watching)

The very helpful Jason mentioned a production tool called Ipact
Production Studio, first released by Creative a few years ago.

Is it still available / developed?

I have been unable to find any recent working links to it anywhere or
any information more recent that Jan 2008.


All the best



Joss
