Source:seek/tell - Pattern/Row TimeUnit for tracked music?

Post by Ratchet »

What about adding two TimeUnits: pattern and row for getting and setting the position of tracked music (MOD, XM, IT, S3M)
Would be great to perform dynamic music changes :cool:

Also a getLength method for Sources would be usefull (takes seconds and sample TimeUnit for WAV, MP3, OGG... and pattern, row for tracked music).

Code: Select all

source = love.audio.newSource("mysong.xm", "static")
length = source:getLength("pattern") -- returns 5 patterns ie

-- Jump to pattern 4, row 32
source:seek(4, "pattern")
source:seek(32, "row")

i'm not 100% sure on this, but i'm fairly sure that love.audio is just an OpenAL wrapper. the love2d devs would need to modify code on the C++/C# side to add something like that.

LÖVE uses ModPlug which supports features like that...

Yes, but it also completely decodes it ahead of time then plays that back (in static mode anyway), so that information is lost at that step.
