One week ago nineko gave me his SKC tool sources and since then I was working on this small, but powerful tool. To use this tool you just need the S&K PC Collection (and in rare cases a VB6 runtime DLL). Nothing more. No midi1to0, (de-)compressor or Resource Hacker. It's all built in. And best of all: It makes it very easy to import looped MIDIs. You only need to set the loop markers correctly, the tool does the rest for you. (I.e. no Hex-Editing needed) (I must admit that I could've uploaded the tool last week, because it was basically finished, but I delayed it because of the extra import features.) Download is here (source is here). The readme includes a How-To for the import/export of MIDI files. Have fun! P.S.: I want to see some music mods for S&K PC! EDIT: Updated links for v1.1. See readme for details. EDIT2: Updated links again - a typo caused a stupid bug
I wish mp3 or ogg could be ported to S3&K PC using this I've got plenty of high quality remixes I'd like to hear in my S3&K.
I will make sure to check this out, it sounds very promising, I am glad to see you could put my very crappy code to good use
Nice tool. It would be more helpful for those who want loops to be dump inside the MIDI itself for recording via a FM Synthesizer emulator (one I got is DOS-based and what's posted by another member here) that has such a font. Doesn't seem to like the syx data or knows it's there. Edit: The loops are there, my bad. Apperently seeking in the application I was using disabled the looping commands. Sorry about the misinformation, which makes this tool even better than I thought it was.
[I request some moderator to move this topic to E&RE. I don't know what I had in mind when I posted this in GSD. Sorry.] Updated the tool to version 1.1. (see first post) This update fixes tons of bugs I discovered while making the SKC RPG hack and there're some new features. Also SKC should new accept every DLL made with this tool. For further information see the readme file.
