GameMaker Studio 2 Pure GML External Audio

This is a pure GML extension that enables loading external audio during runtime.

Super Simple API

• ext_audio_load(filename) - Returns ExternalAudio data structure with loaded audio data
• ext_audio_free(externalAudio) - Frees ExternalAudio data structure along with audio data
• ext_audio_get_id(externalAudio) - Returns actual sound ID to use with GM audio functions
• ext_audio_get_name(externalAudio) - Returns name of file without the path or extension

Check out the internal scripts if you want to see how everything else is done in more depth.

Only Supports WAV

Example

//First you need to load your external audio file
//This is limited to GameMaker sandbox limitations 
externalAudio = ext_audio_load("path/to/file.wav");

//Then you get the sound id to be used with audio_* functions
externalSoundID = ext_audio_get_id(externalAudio);

//Use GameMaker audio_* functions like you normally would
audio_play_sound(externalSoundID, 10, false);

//This is also perfectly valid
//audio_play_sound(ext_audio_get_id(externalAudio), 10, false);
