Listener Orientation

[SteveDeFacto]

Seems ridiculous to me that SFML 2.0 does not provide access to the up vector which is the default functionality of OpenAL. SFML is a beautiful library but I completely fail to understand why Laurent is being reluctant to implement this basic functionality. Also while I'm at it there are other things I want to complain about. sf::Window::getPostion does not work on Linux and sf::Mouse::setPosition is sending an event on Linux.  I will gladly fix these things for you, Laurent.

Please post in an objective way, emotional posts rarely lead to useful discussions.

sf::Window::getPostion does not work on Linux

Can you describe the problem more clearly? By the way, you should open a separate thread for this issue in the Window subforum.

There's a previous discussion about this up vector, did you read it ? It probably contains interesting stuff.

And yes, please don't mix unrelated things in a single post. I'll be glad to answer to the other topics when you put them in a separate thread, and give more details about them

Yes, I did read it. I also read another post about the same issue from almost a year ago: http://www.sfml-dev.org/old-forum/viewtopic.php?t=6057&sid=e5a5bc3374c79e6f25d9b9646fdb316d It seems apparent you have no intention of implementing this feature anytime soon. I am almost certain this would be no more than an hour of work on your part and I believe you don't see it as necessary since sfml does not do 3d rendering.

As for the other problems I was able to hack my way around them so I don't really care that much. I'm just going to keep using OpenAL directly for my audio but it seems like a shame that the only thing preventing me from using sfml audio is the lack of an up vector...

Really?

I'm just asking that you consider this feature.

I'll do.

I have to think more about it, and see how this can be solved (with or without adding something to SFML).

So it seems obvious that I'll consider adding this feature, and more people requesting it will probably speed up the process.
However your attitude won't help at all.
