Mod Support?

[Brujah]

I remember having asked this question a while ago.
Will it or is it possible to play modules with purebasic?

The Blitzbasic Version of our game uses Modules for creating a bit of atmosphere.
Can I acomplish this with purebasic too?

The mod library for pb says windows only in the help, but i seem to remember asking before aboutt hat and was told it does work in linux? Maybe someone else can confirm this?

Yes, it's possible. You have to download the 'Module' lib for linux here (and check the MIDAS license) : http://www.purebasic.com/download.php3

I did exactly what I read in the Dodumentation.
Thats my code:

Code: Select all

If InitSound() = 0
EndIf

If InitModule() = 0
EndIf

egal = loadmodule(1,"laby/sounds/archonsoflight.mod")
playmodule(1)

delay(5000)

And that what I get as response:
Error: Line 4 - InitModule(): Incorrect number of of parameters.

The linux version is quite old, so you will have to put the max number of modules in the InitModule() function like: InitModule(20) ; Max 21 modules, from 0 to 20. Also #PB_Any, aren't supported (shouldn't be a problem for this lib).

I tried to kill artsd before running it. But I still hear nothing.
Does anybody know what I could do?

[Brujah]

I tried around a bit but I still cannot get it working.
This is what I try:

Code: Select all

If InitSound() = 0
   print("Sound Error!!")
   end
EndIf

If InitModule(1) = 0
   print("Module Error!!")
   end
EndIf

egal = loadmodule(0,"/home/markus/laby/sounds/archonsoflight.mod")
playmodule(0)

print("playing...")

repeat
   examinekeyboard()
until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Return)

end

[Brujah]

Maybe the error lies in the location of the libmidas.a?
The documentation in midas is a bit weird here.
For linking with programs they give you examples for c and delphi.
But I still have no idea about purebasic.
Placing it in the same directory as my program does not work.
Where to place it? Do I have to do something else?

[Fred]

You theorically don't need the .a if you use the linux module library.

[Brujah]

I placed the library "module" in the userlibraries directory. In /usr/share/purebasic.
But it is not working, my program crashes when I call initmodule(1).

Can anybody try if it is working on your machines?

Is it a problem of suse? Or my sound configuration?

Really confused...
