KNOWN ISSUES
-
Works in Safari Version 7.0.6, Internet Explorer 11, and Chrome Version 37. Not tested on Opera. iOS will not play multiple tracks at once, so seamless loops will not work. Also on iOS sound must be initiated by an action (e.g a click) before audio will actually play.
-
If your story throws an alert, or whenever sound playback is paused by something other than another sqTwineSound macro, the start of the next loop will be delayed (by the amount of time the alert was visible.) One way to work around this is to manually pause sound in your passage (<<pausesound $backgroundMusic>>) before you throw up the alert, and then resume the sound <<playsound $backgroundMusic>>again after the alert.
-
Sugarcane and Jonah don't have the neat <> macro that the Sugarcube story format does, so making volume control buttons could be a bit of an adventure.
BONUS FEATURES
-
The full demo (using the Sugarcube story format) provides working examples
-
A Sugarcane- and Jonah-friendly flavor of the script works with native Twine story formats. I can't guarantee this flavor will always have the same features of the Sugarcube flavor, but I hope it's useful.
-
The macros that take multiple parameters (e.g. clip name, volume proportion, and overlap) make a good-faith effort not to freak out if you give them these parameters in an unexpected order. It can kind of figure out that "clipName.mp3" is the clip name, and 0.5 is the volume proportion, and 2000 is the milliseconds to overlap. But if you try to mix up a macro's preferred order of parameters AND give it a decimal number as overlap, expect the unexpected!
