Description
WebAudio
Wiki[github.com]
This addon adds a serverside WebAudio class which can be used to interact with clientside IGmodAudioChannels asynchronously.
It also adds an extension for Expression2 to interact with these in a safe manner.

This is essentially a safe and more robust replacement for the popular Streamcore addon, since it is much more secure and customizable.

Why use this instead of Streamcore?
Streamcore is a dangerous addon.
It has no whitelist, meaning anyone can force everyone on the server to download ILLEGAL CONTENT or grab everyone's IP Addresses through links like grabify.
Server owners aren't safe either, streamcore easily allows you to crash everyone on it through spamming net messages.

In fact, this addon was made out of frustration over how low effort / terrible streamcore is and how the author does not care about the security of people's games whatsoever after years of reports over these vulnerabilities.

WebAudio easily solves this through a whitelist, active development and flexible but strong limits.

WebAudio has much more features.
Have you ever wanted to pause a stream while it was playing?
Maybe turn up the volume higher because it was too quiet?
Maybe even getting the current playback time or FFT values of the stream?
You can easily do all of this + much more with WebAudio.[github.com]

Features
  • Client and Serverside URL whitelists, both are customizable with simple patterns or more advanced lua patterns.
  • The WebAudio type in Expression 2 that adds the ability to change sounds in a 3D space, or change it's volume, position and time whilst the music is playing.
  • Easy to use Lua api that tries to mirror the IGModAudioChannel type.

For some reason, a webAudio object can be created from "https://myinstants.com/media/sounds/taco-bell-bong-sfx.mp3" (whitelisted) but not from "https://trekcore.com/audio/aliensounds/alien_door01.mp3" (also whitelisted). Any idea why? I'm not seeing any errors in console.

Should be fixed now

so what ever you changed broke it

alright confirmation, wa is no longer recognized as an extension, it's not on the list anymore, which is why the functions are gone
[DSTM] Naki 4 Jul, 2023 @ 11:09pm 
When i wrote that, all of the functions were gone, not sure about now

Make sure the dropbox link is valid, I know it's annoying to get the proper url

No other links work, aside from discord (If whitelisted).
