I want to be able to make my games smaller in size by using .ogg files intead of .wav's. But I don't know how to use caster and would really like some help, please.

Sometimes you need to figure things out by yourself, friend. There should be some examples of it and you can find them by a simple Google search. Or you know, you can also just use GameMaker: Studio instead.

Especially with the caster_load function. 2. no.

[quote="Auction Lemon"]2. no.[/quote] Studio is much much better than Legacy. Especially Studio 2.

[quote="Auction Lemon"]I know, but I don't care. I'm more use to GM8 than anything else.

GM:S isn't even very different from GM8, but learning a new tool is always a good thing.

The only valid reason to use GM8 over GM:S is when your project has already been in development for a very long time and uses large amounts of code that cannot be ported to GM:S.

What are you using thats in wav format? If its SFX, then the difference will be negligible, I'd recommend just continuing to use sound effects as waves and save yourself the trouble. If its music, then maybe OGG is your best bet but I can recommend better DLLs if you're interested. But MP3 is also a fine alternative and doesn't require any DLLs.

I tried putting in the index, volume and pitch, but it would only recognize the index and not the rest. I also checked the Caster Helpme file but it doesn't help much.
