ok. the full download is now at:
http://www.gprogs.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=15
there are a few noted differences:
first, i liked the design of the maxmod distro so i redisgned the layout of the SID mods. there are now 3 mods all under the parent SID mod. i broke out the FreeAudio sample loader, the MaxMod stream loader, and the libsidplay2 wrapper into their own mods.
NOTE: please remove the gg.mod/sidplay.mod folder!
second, the streaming version has a few features the sample version doesnt. the streaming version can switch the track its playing. you can get a total track count and see what track is currently being played. check the docs for more info.
enjoy folks :) this has been a lot of fun. boy do i love playing the ultima 3 SID :)
@REDi - first, thx for MaxMod! very cool. second, i thought of that distro method (i even had an email in progress to you about it), but then i would be splitting where the SID mods come from. at this point, id like to keep it all together.
@smilertoo - in theory yes. i havent tested it. if you use the stream it doesnt require processing the full track into memory first. this should save a lot of memory and also it allows you to start playing a track almost immediately... low load times since only the SID file itself has be be loaded into memory.
