SDL_mixer and static Mix_Music structure

[fog76]

Hi all,
i wanted to know if it was possible to convert a .mod file into a .h file to have a small music stored directly into the executable file.

I mean something like this:

Code Select Expand


//into .h file

static Mix_Music *MyMusic = {0XFF, 0XBA, 0XCC.... and so on



to be simply called into main.cc in a similar manner:

Code Select Expand


Mix_PlayMusic(MyMusic, -1);


My idea is to create an executable file that contains within it the piece of music that should sound. In your opinion what is possible using SDL_mixer? And how can convert a .mod file into a .h file?

Thanks to all!

fog76, that is indeed possible. You need a program to convert the binary file into a header (.h) file. There are many variations of this program called "bin2inc". Here's one I just found.

HxD is what I use for this sorta thing; just open the .mod and use export->C . Will do exactly what you want .

That looks like a handy tool Ferris. Disk and RAM editing sounds especially cool

Yep this prog looks like really more usefull than the simple php script I made for this sort of conversion By the way Bin2inc will be fine also
