Many people are having problems with OpenAL sound in the simulator. Here is the fix that I found.

Launch : Audio MIDI Setup.app
/Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.app

And change 48000.0khz to 44100.0 khz, and that should do the trick.

So you want to get your iPad/iPhone app seen? I just got back from taking a look at the iPad at the Apple store and Best Buy, and I found that you CAN NOT hold down on an app icon and allow you to delete and or rearrange the icons. So I asked why not? And both the Apple and Best Buy employees will tell you that you have to do this when you sync your iPad with iTunes. Oddly enough the iPad sim allows you to rearrange the icons and delete them. Maybe this is only on the in-store iPads, better yet! So I then thought whats stopping me from going to my apps website (www.beat-bots.com) in safari and then clicking the plus (+) button and “Add to Home Screen” 10, 20, or 30 times, on all the devices in the store. This would definitely piss them off, and you might get kicked out if they figure it out. But unless they want to bring the ipads in the back room and remove all the icons you added for your app then your in business. Now everyone who picks up this magical device will see all your icons and want to tap them and see what its all about.

Batch PNG to PVRTC and PVR for the iphone.

Updated 01-04-2010:

As you may know PNG’s look great on the iphone, although they take up allot of memory when you use allot of frames in your animation. There is the option to use PVRTC/PVR images with the trade off that they dont look so great on the iphone but are very small when it comes to there memory usage. The problem is that Apple tells you in their (Technical Q&A QA1611) to use terminal and their “Texturetool” to process each PNG to the PVRTC/PVR format. This can be a bit of an undertaking when there are tons of frames in your animations.

And as a designer I tend to stay away form potentially blowing up my computer trying some crazy image converting in terminal. And I think I can assume that most designer/animators would. So I thought it might be helpful to build an app that can take care of the process for you and BATCH process the PNG’s to PVRTC/PVR images with a PNG preview for each PVRTC/PVR image.

This converter will batch process all PNG images in the selected folder and output them as PVR images with a PNG preview for each PVR image.

It allows you to create four variants of PVR data, the primary difference being tradeoffs between quality and size.
You will have to experiment with these variants to determine which setting is the best compromise for each individual texture image.

Encoders:

–channel-weighting-linear
–channel-weighting-perceptual
–bits-per-pixel-2
–bits-per-pixel-4

IMPORTANT: Source images for the encoder must satisfy these requirements:
• Height and Width must be a power of 2.
• Must be square (height==width).
• Source images must be .png or .PNG
• There CAN NOT be any spaces in the path to the PNG file or the name of the PNG itself.

BEST PRACTICE:
• Place this app in your Applications folder and create a shortcut to it in your dock.
• Create a folder on your desktop called “Converted” or something without spaces.
• Now place your PNG’s in it “image1.png, image2.png, and so on”.
• Finally run this converter on that folder “Converted”.

WARNING: Valid PVR data is at least 32 bytes in size. This means that images that are 8×8 or smaller will be padded to 32 bytes total before being written to the archive. For example, compressing a 4×4 image consumes 32 bytes, even though it only requires 8 bytes of storage.

Here is an example of the command that is ran in terminal:

Encode Image.png into PVR using linear weights and 4 bpp, and saving the output as Image_L4.pvr and a PNG preview as Image_preview_L4.png

user$ texturetool -m -e PVRTC –channel-weighting-linear –bits-per-pixel-4 -o Image_L4.pvr -p Image_preview_L4.png PATH/TO/THE/IMAGE/Image.png
