• Backups
• Got the paperwork to start on getting client sites hooked up to the main system
• Bugs
  • Lenny did the following and got some kind of NULL sql error. It may have happened to Carla as well
    • Created a project
    • Added service PM on the project tab
    • saved
    • Deleted the PM from the project (first tab)
    • Added a Req on the second tab
    • Added the same (now deleted) service PM to the Req.
    • Clicked ‘update’, which threw the SQL error
    • clicked close
    • Checked the record, and everything appeared to be saved properly
    • Other req updates using the same sequence did not cause the error
  • The goal is thenter one EA line item and then link multiple req’s out of unclaimed to it. Is this possible?
  • Unclaimed needs to roll up and subtotal all lines (just with matching req’s? Not sure what to do about blanks, unless there is a way to find other matching sequences)
  • There are a heck of a lot of “UPDATE budget_center_contracts SET budget_center_id= NULL where uid = xx”. It’s probably a good 70% of the logs.

• Well, after two days of not being able to work on this due to Comps prep and trouble with a significant fraction of my vehicles, maybe I can get some 3D audio working today.
• Added everything from How to: Integrate X3DAudio with XAudio2, and definitely got a result – when the emitter position moved off of center, the sound cut out. Now you might think that’s a bad thing, but my guess is that I have some variable that either being set with zero or junk, which is messing up the sound matrix calculations.
• Using the XAudio2Sound3D project as a source of code to mine, I pulled over the (much more extensive) emitter setup and now have things working, although not as clearly as I’d like. Next is to clean up and package the code into the SampleSound-derived classes.
• And by the way, this might be a good hard hat to try the rig on: http://www.amazon.com/ERB-19224-Americana-Full-Ratchet/dp/B001LYB7JW
• Cleared a lot of nonessential (i.e. listening cone)code out of the emitter
• Realized that I could probably use voice->SetOutputMatrix() to set the channels directly. I added a method that cleans out the dspSettings.matrixCoefficients and then sets a single value in the matrix. Whadaya know – it worked 
• Need to do some packaging of the code, but I now have enough to do tests for the situational awareness system and to get rid of the MIDI boards for the vibrotactile controller.

• Backups – I wonder if I can have the output go through a script that counts the number of “copied” and “moved” to report if the entire script executed correctly? Have to look into that.
• Took the projportfolio debug login out of setup.xml
• Took care of various paperwork, including resume stuff

• Arranged to get the Porsche towed. Well no, that was an adventure in itself, and basically killed the rest of the day.
• Scheduled service for motorcycle
• Handed in tuition paperwork

• Prepping for comps meeting this evening. If I get done early, I’ll go back to XAudio

8:00 – 1:00 SR

• Backups
• There was a demo today! Was invited in towards the end to talk about data security and roles.
• Had a good idea about how to run the PA/RA code on one of our (Dreamhost? Steadfast?) servers and let the labs input their data directly. We could then ingest the data nightly. Need to research this a bit.

• Finished rolling up the SampleSounds(s) into BasicAudio.
• Starting on 3D audio, using How to: Integrate X3DAudio with XAudio2
  • Adding the 3D calls to the main() in ConsoleSound2, just after the BasicAudio class has been initialized.
  • Had to add x3daudio.lib to the project and <x3daudio.h> to the #includes.
  • This looks to be the meat of the calculation. It looks like X3DCalculate() works on the relative position of an Emitter and the Listener and uses that to populate a DSP. Once that’s done, then the Audio2 source is manipulated appropriately.

  •         X3DAudioCalculate( g_audioState.x3DInstance, &g_audioState.listener, &g_audioState.emitter, dwCalcFlags,
                               &g_audioState.dspSettings );
    
            IXAudio2SourceVoice* voice = g_audioState.pSourceVoice;
            if( voice )
            {
                // Apply X3DAudio generated DSP settings to XAudio2
                voice->SetFrequencyRatio( g_audioState.dspSettings.DopplerFactor );
                voice->SetOutputMatrix( g_audioState.pMasteringVoice, INPUTCHANNELS, g_audioState.nChannels,
                                        g_audioState.matrixCoefficients );
    
                voice->SetOutputMatrix(g_audioState.pSubmixVoice, 1, 1, &g_audioState.dspSettings.ReverbLevel);
    
                XAUDIO2_FILTER_PARAMETERS FilterParametersDirect = { LowPassFilter, 2.0f * sinf(X3DAUDIO_PI/6.0f * g_audioState.dspSettings.LPFDirectCoefficient), 1.0f }; // see XAudio2CutoffFrequencyToRadians() in XAudio2.h for more information on the formula used here
                voice->SetOutputFilterParameters(g_audioState.pMasteringVoice, &FilterParametersDirect);
                XAUDIO2_FILTER_PARAMETERS FilterParametersReverb = { LowPassFilter, 2.0f * sinf(X3DAUDIO_PI/6.0f * g_audioState.dspSettings.LPFReverbCoefficient), 1.0f }; // see XAudio2CutoffFrequencyToRadians() in XAudio2.h for more information on the formula used here
                voice->SetOutputFilterParameters(g_audioState.pSubmixVoice, &FilterParametersReverb);
            }

• Backups. And to make sure that it’s possible to see the results of the db backup script, I added in a “pause.exe” at the end of the batch file.
• Deployed the new FA and RA
• RA was taking a *long* time to start up. It turns out that the reason was that there were 17,000 alerts that were going into a DataGrid. The temporary fix was to delete the old alerts, but there needs to be a mechanism for determining/limiting what to show.

• Building a copy of XAudio2BasicSound, cleverly calling ConsoleSound2.
• Since it depends on SDKwavefile, I had to pull SAFE_DELETE, SAFE_DELETE_ARRAY, and SAFE_RELEASE from dxut.h. It also requires dxerr.h. but that’s in the regular directx include directory.
• Extremely empty code right now, but it compiles and links. On a side note, the compiler should accept the environment variable $(DXSDK_DIR), but it doesn’t. And adding macros is an enormous pain, as near as I can tell.
• The code is ported over and works. It’s all stuck in a main() right now. I need to clean up and build an Audio class. Actually, looking at the way the code is set up, a WavSampleSound class might be better. It probably could extend from a SampleSound class, but I’ll break that out later…
• Class is mostly done and running!
