If any of you would like it, I have a mod playing routine (for GUS and
SB) that could be easily modified to play sound effects also. It works
for Watcom dos4gw. I would allow it to be used for free: I think
$10,000 is too large for smaller programmers.
The mixing routines are very fast: they have no problem playing mods
and take about 2% CPU time. It is completely written in ASM, though
this will change. (Only plays 8 channel mods now, but easily changed)
If there are enough people who want this, I will do it.

That would be really great of you to do. I to have been looking for a
MOD,S3M,etc. sound library. I am currently using SOS but that doesnot
play mods and has a big licensing fee. I do not mind paying, but
really... Anyway I feel alot of us out here may drop our expectations
from libraries like the described Galaxy and use a nice fast simply FREE
system.
Thanks in advance,

Simple method - find the mci mod player drivers that I used to have a
while back. A friend found an mci driver that could play mod files
through the wave device with the simple programming of mci commands.
Since then, I've changed harddisks probably a dozen times and can't
find the package anywhere. It was really good too! If you ever run
into it, please email me a copy (I'll do the same).
Hard method - go to a demo groups ftp site and look for c/c++ code to
play under the dos world. Using the mixing and sampling algorythms to
build you audio data and pipe it use the waveout routines. Good luck
with this method.
Good Luck,

Whoops! Sorry about all the messages - I got errors connecting
to the server when I tried to send the messages last week, and
thought they'd been lost, but they'd actually been queued and
were sent out when I wrote a different msg this morning!

Add me to the list. I would love to have C code to play s3m and mod

scream tracker in fact, so especially the s3m format is of interest.

Have you people downloaded ID's wolfenstain-3D source? Well you should. It has some great code
which can help you play music. it doesn't actualy give you everything, you'll have to write
quite a lot yourself but thats the fun on making it work, not just using someones
code word for word.

Sorry, but I missed the previous messages and do not know what's
going on exactly.
Anyway, I use DJGPP and the SB05 sound library, which comes with
full source code and CAN play MOD files (not s3m -yet-).
At the moment I am updating the library to allow a sort of
hyper-textual module, to give my game contestual music.
You can find the library everywhere you find DJGPP (sb05_dj2.zip).
All the best,
Massimiliano

DJGPP is now available from Simtel.Net and its mirrors. See the
URLs below and my posting of the latest list of authorized Simtel.Net

First the good news:
Source code for playing .mod, .xm, .s3m files under Borland or Watcom is
available via ftp x2ftp.oulu.fi pub/msdos/programming/mxlibs/mikmod*.zip
Now the bad news:
Anyone lame enough to follow up this sort of thing with 'me too' posts will
undoubtedly not have the intelligence to get this source code working.

Hey guess what this newsgroup IS for. It's for code exchanges and
getting answers to questions about code for MSDOS programmers. Now as
far as I see it me too's are a necessary evil. And anyone using the fact
that we use me too's in order to make us seem unintelligent probably is
an AOL user.

Are there newsreaders out there that just don't show you what
groups a thread is on at all? No wonder crossposting is such a
problem - perhaps if people wrote newsreaders that gave you a clear
idea of where you were posting before you posted then there wouldn't
be such a problem.

I would like to do something with midi (play individual midi notes
etc.) If anybody knows somethin to help me to get started.
I would like to use win95. Some library with very hilevel funktions
or eaven some artikle that would explane what this microsoft

You should have documentation on the multimedia API functions of Windows
95 provided with the on-line help of your compiler.

I have been trying to find information on writing a DOS program to
directly use a SB card. That is, w/out feeding it a .mid file, or a
.wav file.
I'd like to load the SB driver and then play specific notes (sounds)
from the program.
I wonder how games programmers do it. Perhaps they have their own
drivers that interface w/ the SB cards?
