Title: uFmod, plays xm, but not mod?
Post by: ttemper on January 26, 2012

Trying to put some music into a demo using uFmod, it works for xm files (bin2bas), but soon as I change it to a mod file (bin2bas), no sound.

Compiling with.... fbc -lang deprecated -s gui

Is there something I'm missing?

Code: [Select]

#INCLUDE ONCE "tinyptc_ext++.bi"
#INCLUDE "sfx\happyanswer.mod.bas"

    Dim hWave As HWAVEOUT
    hWave = uFMOD_PlaySong(@happyanswer.mod(0), 88961, XM_MEMORY)

do

<loop here>

end

uFMOD_StopSong()
EXITPROCESS(0)

Unlike the name suggest, uFmod can only play xm files:

uFMOD is an XM player library written in assembly language.

You can convert your mod to xm using milky tracker (http://milkytracker.org).

XM only? k, persuasive naming then. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out milky tracker.

I'll google around n see what mod player I can find.

*edit, the conversion from mod to xm was easy and worked a treat, thanks again.
