Very interesting, this helped me a lot! Thanks!

I'm currently trying to be able to import an audio file in-game and have it play. And there's barely any info on it except for the handbook.

[@DragoniteSpam]

You can load a wav file into a buffer and play it with one of the audio buffer functions, but it's restricted to raw audio files so you can't really use it for music or anything. If you want to load music (or anything else) from the disk, I recommend the fmod extension someone made: github.com/mstop4/FMODGMS

Could this be used to for chunking vertex buffers?

[@DragoniteSpam]

Sure, I did a video on messing with vertex buffers on-the-fly at some point too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6uwkpl4nNhnpac Doing this every step with large vertex buffers may still amount to some performance hit though, so it would need to be a bit optimized. I've done that for stuff like real-time terrain deformation before.

@@DragoniteSpam Ok, thanks a ton! What I'm going for is pretty basic I think, so it shouldn't be too large a buffer

[@DragoniteSpam]

@@pogostar1878 Good luck with whatever you're working on!
