Acoostix

I am a sound designer, who has been using max/msp to develop an audio engine for the my own development. By no means do i intend to compete, its more of a personal project to explore the problems and challenges involved in making a game audio engine.

A mentor of mine developed a half life 2 mod that has OSC implemented so that "most" game calls are being sent out to of the game and into max, for me.

The problem is the mod does not include positional data in any way shape or form.

I was hoping - some kind soul out there - would be interested in taking part in this project and implementing OSC into WHATEVER game engine they choose. The neat thing is that the mod could be used by all kinds of people using osc - the game could become an instrument.

I think many game engines already support osc like ogre, crystal space, 

the blender game engine. don't know about half life, but actually *any* 

messages you send over net to a specified port will do it (as long as

they are terminated correctly..).

The Micropolis (simcity) engine has sound calls commented out inside  
it. It's basically a granular engine.

thanks a ton! I will have to look into it and size up the possibilities

I realize that this is extremely late to the party. Acoostix, I'm currently working on a Hl2 Mod and would like to use Max as a procedural sound engine. I have no experience with OSC, would you still have the mod with OSC implemented lying around?
