AudioSource development

This page contains the AudioBand.AudioSource api documentation and documentation on developing an audio source for AudioBand.

Building a new audio source project

1. Create a new class library project
2. Install the audio source nuget package
3. Create a class to implement IAudioSource. Api reference on the right.

public class AudioSource : IAudioSource
{
    // implementation here
}

4. The file AudioSource.manifest should be add to the project after installing the nuget package. Edit the file so that the name will matches your asembly file name.

AudioSource = "AudioSource.dll"

Developing

In order to get it functional, you have to implement every function of IAudioSource.
You can find out what they do by hovering over them in your IDE, it will show what the function is used for.
(You can also reference Dsafa's API refence because I don't know how to setup my own.)

You can also utilize the existing ones in the Main AudioBand Repo as a template or guiding line.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on our Discord Server or on GitHub through an issue.

Deploying your new audio source.

(Hopefully) coming soon: An in-app way to download/install/distribute your custom audiosource via This GitHub repo.

For now, AudioBand reads each sub folder under the AudioSources folder. To deploy your new audio source, place your files under a new subfolder in the AudioSources directory. Ensure that your AudioSource.manifest file is also included. You also do not need to copy the AudioBand.AudioSource library files

The file structure will look like this:

Audioband/
|--AudioSources/
   |--NewAudioSource/
      |--Audiosource.dll
      |--AudioSource.manifest
      |--other files
