.ogg files

I remember Nick Gammon stating that .ogg support wouldn't be added, but is there somehow any way that, whether through use of a .dll or otherwise, .ogg files can be played through MUSHclient triggers?

You can do a mass conversion of OGG files into WAV files using open source software such as ffmpeg.

I've been using Audacity to convert smaller files, but .wav files get unpleasantly big. I was hoping for an alternative, perhaps a plugin if it exists, that would allow playback of .ogg files.

I think I remember seeing a MUD elaborate that they were able to play .ogg files but I couldn't figure out exactly how. How could I go about using .dll's to add that functionality, as I think I saw you report on another forum post?

You can just require DLLs in Lua, but the DLL being required must have Lua-ised function calls (it needs to be made with Lua in mind). Otherwise you need to use FFI, which can be slightly trickier. Do you have a DLL in mind?

I have a post about making your own DLLs for calling from Lua:
