i have a problem with loading sound with basesound class. i createred sound which is BaseSound pointer (as basesound doesn't seem to have a constructor o.O), but sound->load doesn't work... i think there must be something missing before load, but i can't find what... any help would be highly appreciated.

Like most C4D 'Base' classes, there are no direct constructor/destructor methods. You must use 'Alloc' and 'Free' to allocated and free the class:

BaseSound* sound = BaseSound::Alloc();
BaseSound::Free(sound);

Note that Load() only works with WAV sound files. It is possible that certain codecs are not supported (unless they are installed).

Here is working source that I use (in conjunction with animation tracks) :

if (type == Ssound)  
{  
     // <Bool:On|Off>  
     if (!tokenReader.ParseBool(&fileReader;, &boolVal;, "on", "off")) return FALSE;  
     data->SetBool(ID_SOUND_ONOFF, boolVal);  
     // "<String:Sound_Filename>"  
     SoundSequence *sseq = static_cast<SoundSequence*>(seq);  
     BaseSound* bsound;  
     if (!(bsound = sseq->GetSound()))  
     {  
          ErrorException::Throw(GeLoadString(ERROR_MEMORY_TEXT), "AnimatLOAD.ReadSequence.bsound");  
          return FALSE;  
     }  
     if (!tokenReader.ParseQuotedString(&fileReader;, &name;))  
     {  
          BaseSound::Free(bsound);  
          return FALSE;  
     }  
     Filename soundFile = Filename(filename);  
     soundFile.SetFile(Filename(name));  
     if (bsound->Load(soundFile))  
     {  
          sseq->SetSound(bsound);  
          sseq->SetParameter(DescID(ID_SOUND_NAME), name, DESCFLAGS_DONTCHECKMINMAX);  
     }  
     else ErrorException::Throw(GeLoadString(ERROR_OPENFILE_TEXT), "Sound file:", name);  
     BaseSound::Free(bsound);  
}

HTH,

thanks, solved that, works ok now, but i got something really weird instead... I have a separate new class, in which sounddata pointer has to be created (because getsample needs pointer SData to work with), but it doesn't seem to work. Cinema throws "The instruction at "----" referenced memory at "----"..." error... it works if i declare wariable sd like SData sd; but doesnt with SData* sd=new SData();... that one works just fine in the main plugin cpp (NodeData::Message) though... any ideas?

thanks in advance,
regards
