XM Play (Extended Module)

[trancexx]

This is my another try on playing XM music in AutoIt.

Usually you would need third party dll to play this music. The problem is need for both x86 and x64 dlls for universal application. Deploying these new files has its own downsides.
That's why I decided to write my engine for the player. It's written in c++ following available XM documentation, and compiled using free version of Visual Studio. After that binary data is extracted and embedded compressed inside the script.
When the script is used the code is decompressed.

Download zip file and extract folder inside together with all files (most of them are XM music files of my choice), run Player.au3 and see if it's working for you.

XM_Play.zipFetching info...

 

There are no dlls, external files or anything else of such kind. Available functions are:

Load_XM
Free_XM
Pause_XM
Play_XM
Vol_XM

Player.au3 is just an example.

...Oh, and you can load online XMs directly specifying URL.

That's great! Thanks for testing.

I'm not sure if I implemented correctly all the stuff (still not, lol). XM documentation sucks big time. Getting it playing was interesting, since there are no good examples of using threads an events.

Works fine, win 10 x64

Cool implementation and a nice selection of XM tunes. 

 

What format is the embedded base64 stuff?

Tested in XP, 7 x64 and 10 x64. In Win10 sound better. Could you add volume control ?. I feel it would make it sound better with a lower volume. Thanks for sharing

PS: while writing https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/130660-return-to-castle/#comment-1174449 , I wanted a glory song to play after the last level, so, I got me over 400 XM songs  , ..edend up chosing mission_impossible_db_mix.xm

I've added volume control and updated the OP. Tested only on win 10.
