BASS library, with UNICODE enabled
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 3:06 pm
I've been using BASS library to play songs etc, but needed to enable Unicode strings, but doing so caused the BASS lib to not play anything because of the filenames were expected to be in Ascii. I couldn't find a simple command to do it, so here's a quick solution.
(Somebody will now tell me it's easier than this
)
Then when needed before creating the stream channel.
You could also use this for any strings that need to be in Ascii.

Code: Select all
Global *BASS_Filename
Procedure SetBASSFilename(filename.s)
If *BASS_Filename
FreeMemory (*BASS_Filename)
EndIf
*BASS_FILENAME=AllocateMemory(Len(filename)+1)
PokeS(*BASS_FILENAME,filename,-1,#PB_Ascii)
EndProcedure
Code: Select all
SetBASSFilename(songname)
Handle = BASS_StreamCreateFile(0, *BASS_Filename, 0, 0, 0)
You could also use this for any strings that need to be in Ascii.
