Sound Cards>
Whippersnapper
For those with sound cards, I have a huge selection of .MOD files I might easily share. Some nice music.
Also have some utilities for creation of same.
Blade Runner
Hi, Whip. How are you doing?
MontyL
Any chance you could post a list, Whip? I've got quite a pile up here, too, but... the more the merrier!
Whippersnapper
Just fine, Blade Runner. And you?
Don Glover the younger
what do you need to play a mod file? I have 3 machines with 3 different mediavision cards, a thunder board, a pro spectrum and a pro sonic.
Whippersnapper
Don, you need a DAC type sound card, like the Sound Blaster, SB Pro, Gravis or any of the compatibles. The Pro Audio Spectrum should do it. Don't know what those others are.
MontyL
Don, the ThunderBoard is SB compatible, isn't it? Your best bet for a sound player would be DualModulePlayer (DMP), which supports most of the sound cards out there. I use a ProAudio 16 card, and it supports it just great. If it weren't for the path, I'd send a copy to Counselor for you...
Whippersnapper
MontyL, following is a directory listing of the lot. These are all .MODs, all in ZIPfiles.
I can, if you like, post a descriptive listing of practically all of them.

I also have a few dozen Scream Tracker modules.
san san
wow, that's a lot of mod files Whippersnapper.
I found a nice mod player for windows.
MOD4WIN, shareware. I like it.
Torch Song
yikes!
MontyL
Killer! I didn't see much in that mess that I already have, Whip. Do you have an Internet account that'll support attached files? I'll start archiving mine in preparation... WOW!
Whippersnapper
I tried that, san san. I'll probably buy it before long... it shuts down on you after 30 days and won't re-install. The clever bastards know they have the best product of its kind! Gotta admire 'em. They want to be paid for their handiwork. It's definitely first-rate. Got Version 2?
golden spud
SBPro is goodo.
I have about 260 mods. A couple are written by local artists (myself, and Darth Puppy)
san san
Yes, MOD4WIN version 2.
I haven't had it for over thirty days yet, so I don't know if it will shut down or not.
MontyL
Two wonderful sets of news, in one room...
san san> Where'd you find it? I've been using WinMOD Pro for a while, but have to keep the rates down so that it'll play fairly well.
NightStalker
Anyone have any knowledge on how to program the SB card?
Richard Seitz
Hey Whip, there might be a way around that. Check for a hidden file and if so rename it and see what happens. Or you could always reset your system clock but that gets old quick. Are you sure you can't reinstall? I don't know how a program could prevent that.
san san
Well, I would, but after setting up PFTUI on this side I realized that we are limited to somewhere about 250K/file per send/recieve via PFTUI.
MOD4WIn is about 1.2K, so that won't work. Sorry.
MontyL
My Angel of The Net... {{TS}}

Angel? <wandering off in a state of shock...>

re:mod4win
It's getting real close to a month that I have had it installed.
I'll check the date/time on my system at work where I have it installed.
Hey wait. I have it installed here. Lemme go look...
Ok, the directory it's installed in is dated 09-28-94. Not quite that month/30
days that someone mentioned earlier.
There was a post about changing a value in win.ini under the
[Compatability] field called EUPHORIA=0x212034e.
There is a really annoying shareware notice that is supposed to go away when
changing this value to . . . Well, I don't have the new vaule here. It's at
work and I garnished the info from an InterNet post.
I tried the new value and nothing happened.
What do you want for nothing, heh!
Really though, I'll keep you posted.
san san
Whip, that sounds like way too much work. It is better to pay them for their fine program, I agree. Now where's that hidden file you were talking of?
I didn't see any hidden files in the directory mod4win is installed in.
I also checked my system directories and didn't see any unusual hidden files that are generated by my operating system(running windows 94 here).
MontyL
Tell you what, Whip. The MOD4WIN and what you spoke of would keep me busy for a little while. Much appreciated, believe me!
FILE69? FILE69.BMB = [ FILE69.LNZ = [ FILE69.BKM = [ Files being sent ]]]. Zip the files into .BKM, Zip .BKM into .LNZ, and Zip .LNZ into .BMB. Really slick, and if you use it a lot (like we do up here) you create a batch file to do the whole process, like this one (MAKEWLF.BAT):
@echo off
echo Creating FILE69 packet for The Wolf Den...
choice Continue
if errorlevel 2 goto quit
echo Creating WLF packet...
pkzip -ex file69.wlf %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
echo Moving WLF packet into LNZ packet...
pkzip -exmu c:\cit\trans\file69.lnz file69.wlf
echo Completed.
goto end
:quit
echo Aborted...
:end
By entering "makewlf this.fil that.fil other.fil", all three get sent, via LNZ, since I'm not directly connected with .WLF (yet). It beats doing it by hand every time.
Whippersnapper
San san, my hidden file was "M4W something-or-other" and appeared in the root directory of drive C:.
san san
Hmmm, scoured the drives last night(dir /s /ah)and didn't come up with any unusual files.
Yeah, split&join work ok.
I'm too lazy to actually do that though. :^)
Whippersnapper
San san, try "dir /a". It'll show all files of all attributes. I'm not sure, but think that file was a System and Hidden type.
In about a minute here, I'll be uploading 6 or 7 .MOD files and a copy of MOD4WIN version 2...
Oh, yeah. I also have a lot of Scream Tracker modules and Scream Tracker ]|[ Beta. It's a decent player for any sort of MOD, of course, as well as a high-powered tracker.
And I have Music Disk Player, a good MOD and Scream Tracker player by Future Crew.
None of the Scream Tracker stuff will run under Windows, BTW.
Whippersnapper
Okay, several MODs and Mod4Win are now in the General Programming room. Enjoy.

MontyL and Whippersnapper -- this may solve your MOD blues, if you have
a CDROM drive... I plan on getting this CD myself, especially after deleting
about 70% of my MODs the other day.
MontyL
Oops... Sorry to hear that, GS. Thanks for the info on the CD.
Guess I'd better call BMB, huh Whip? Thanks! ;)
Oh... WinMod Pro handles Scream Tracker modules _very_ well, IMO. And, other than the fact that ST3 Beta doesn't like my ProAudio 16 card (keeps trying to use it as a mono, 8-bit SoundBlaster, which _does_ work...), it's a pretty neat program!
san san
Yeah.
dir /s /ah shows hidden files and files in subdirectories.
