Aloha my friends, Now I bring to you folks an external that wraps around MikMod < http://mikmod.raphnet.net/> library. This is aimed at game and multimedia developers. Mod files are the best format to use in games since you can change properties and loops inside the music at runtime. They are also very small.
MikMod is released under LGPL, so I can't profit from this. To respect the original license I am releasing both the bundle and it's source code. I've built only for MacOS X because I use Carbon Threads to play the music (actually to update the music player) in another thread so you can play songs without any performance penalty (a must for game development). This external was tricky to build because I had to include a framework (mikmod framework for core audio) inside the external bundle... Included in the download are an example stack and some sample songs from modarchive.org Page is here: http://andregarzia.com/revmikmod.html I've exposed just some of the MikMod calls, just enough to get us all started, the calls are: RevMikModInit - initialize library. RevMikModClose - close library. RevMikModPlay <file> - plays the given file path. RevMikModStop - stops playing. RevMikModPause - pauses playing. RevMikModResume - resumes playing. RevMikModGetData(<key>) - returns some data based on the key given. Keys: songname: name of the song modtype: string type of module loaded comment: module comments numchn: number of module channels numvoices: max # voices used for full NNA playback numpos: number of positions in this song numpat: number of patterns in this song numins: number of instruments numsmp: number of samples realchn: real number of channels used totalchn: total number of channels used (incl NNAs) initspeed: initial song speed inittempo: initial song tempo initvolume: initial global volume (0 - 128) bpm; current beats-per-minute speed sngspd: current song speed volume: song volume (0-128) (or user volume) patpos: current row number sngpos: current song position sngtime: current song time in 2^-10 seconds RevMikModSetVolume <0-128> - sets the volume. RevMikModSetTempo <1-32> - sets the tempo. RevMikModSetSpeed <1-255> - sets the speed. This is my second external... :-) Cheers andre _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
