Seeing how FPScreator uses FPI language but at the same time FPScreator is made using darkBASIC language kinda makes me hesitant.

I need to use the following list of darkBASIC commands for an advanced audio "engine" or script.

LOAD SOUND : LOAD SOUND Filename,Sound Number
LOAD 3DSOUND : LOAD 3DSOUND Filename,Sound Number
SAVE SOUND : SAVE SOUND Filename,Sound Number
DELETE SOUND : DELETE SOUND Sound Number
CLONE SOUND : CLONE SOUND Destination Sound,Source Sound
PLAY SOUND : PLAY SOUND Sound Number
LOOP SOUND : LOOP SOUND Sound Number
STOP SOUND : STOP SOUND Sound Number
PAUSE SOUND : PAUSE SOUND Sound Number
RESUME SOUND : RESUME SOUND Sound Number
POSITION SOUND : POSITION SOUND Sound Number,X,Y,Z
RECORD SOUND : RECORD SOUND Sound Number
STOP RECORDING SOUND : STOP RECORDING SOUND
SET SOUND PAN : SET SOUND PAN Sound Number,Pan Value
SET SOUND SPEED : SET SOUND SPEED Sound Number,Frequency Value
SET SOUND VOLUME : SET SOUND VOLUME Sound Number,Volume Number
POSITION LISTENER : POSITION LISTENER X,Y,Z
ROTATE LISTENER : ROTATE LISTENER X,Y,Z

Sicne FPScreator is made in darkBASIC, will it recognize these commands?

There's no guarantee. You need to look at the FPSC documentation to see if those commands exist or not.

Just because something is written in DarkBASIC doesn't mean it automatically supports everything DarkBASIC can do. If you had asked the question the other way around, it would be a different story.

If you load your level in darkbasic, (which you can do quite easily) then yes.

However, if you're using only FPSC then probably not, as the engine may not have been designed to allow this. You can however compile your own FPSC with the source code which is freely available and add this functionality yourself.

Fpsc is made with dark basic, And the commands are different. You can however "Mod" fpsc by downloading the source for it. Fyi the source is only the fps-game.exe Not that actual engine.

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

The source code will only produce fps-game.exe file, not anything else, like the whole editor etc,,

The FPSC zip file in upgrade 7.5 contains "FPSC-MapEditor.DBPRO", which contains the source code for the world editor.

Yeah, re-compiling the source code would be way out of my knowledge range in coding.
