I don't know c++ but here's my vb equivalent
It's kinda psuto code as it's Saturday night, and I'm not abou tto go look
everything up.
'somewhere we'd have a variable called sapi that's set for whether or not we
use sapi
Function speak(text as string)
If sapi = true then
'use sapi to speak it
Else
'use what ever sound engine and waves and such
End function
Then in your game you could just be all like.
Speaktext ("Lobsters")
I'd also make another function for if sapi is off that can check for
strings, and then play wave files base donthose strings. My head hurts now.
Too much thinking for one day.
I'm certainly not questioning your programming abilities, but sometimes it
helps to bounce ideas off a second person.

It's more work, however. What about having a function called speak. And that
way you could do all yoru checking in there, and you'd only have to write
that condition once instead of every time.
I'm learning the hard way to put everything I use in to functions. Like
things such as play sounds and stuff. If I ever have a to swap in a new
audio system, that way I can just replace code in those functions instead of
having to change tons of lines of code. Optomizations ftw

Hi Hayden,
Oh, that would not be very practical at all. You have no idea how much work
would go into developing two different speech systems like that.
I'd litterally have to do double the work to support the speaking of wav
files and Sapi. It would be likethis for every single speech message in the
game including menus and such.
if (settings.sapi == false)
{
// Load files and play them back here.
}
if (settings.sapi == true)
{
// Speak a message with Sapi here.
}
That is quite a lot of work supporting Sapi and prerecorded speech files. It
would be best if we can settle this issue now so while I'm updating the
DirectX problem I can always take care of this speech issue to.
HTH
