impulse tracker intro code
category: code [glöplog]
just wondering if theres any introcode for playing impulse tracker (.it) files.
MiniFMod works for .xm, and to my knowledge they have mostly the same effects etc under different numbers..OpenMPT (and likely many others) should be able to convert directly from .it to .xm.
*cough*bull*cough*shit
no Ferris. you are talking out of your ass.
rudi: BASS?
ahahaha ferris, sweet troll, ahahaha :)
Hehe. Classic coder vs musician. :)
While converting might work fine, with some workarounds and compromises, I think that the sample packing of IT will be the breaking issue. uFMOD http://ufmod.sourceforge.net/ has ADPCM sample packing but that is probably a global preprocess thing and not part of XM format, if I understand it correctly.

coda has written a tiny IT loader, maybe you can ask him if he lets you use his code. It worked with generated samples, but it should be easy to add a sample loader if it's necessary.
oh, and make that a loader+player. Used in this prod.
Saga Musix: ok, a loader is easy enough. its the player i want. :p
Phoenix/Hornet wrote an IT-to-XM converter, if memory serves.
Using IT without NNAs, lowpass filter and its sample/instrument concept == using XM.
So basically, it's useless to track a song in IT and convert... better start making a XM. In the end, it's patterns you see in front of you, there is no such things as a musician who can track down in IT and can't in FT or vice-versa.

bullshit on the vice versa. no serious FT2 user can track in IT!
We wouldn't want happy hardcore to be made in IT indeed!
knl: in the end it's mostly about the tracker used, not the format. I have even made a few XM tunes in MPT, but I'd never be able to do so in FT2 itself (but I could most likely get something decent out of Impulse Tracker).
Am I the only one thinking about the notes... and the children?
All the poor children who had to use FT2!
Do not tell me.
no dinner for you tonight kaneel.
Darling, I think we have to find new trolls, it's going downhill since people gave up sample based modules for intros...
Accidental trolling FTW XD
Actually - it seems sample-based (in the oldschool tracker-sense) modules are more or less to be considered sitting down between two chairs ;-)
For size-restricted entries, softsynths are indeed the technology of choise and for no-size-restriction entries, huge pro-tools/hardware/accustic studio-like setups are prefered for quality.
A few still uses chiptunes for intros, but it's more and more rare to come across than softsynth tunes.
The 4ch/mul-ch compos are still around though

I thought the tracking scene was about showing it's useless to use a sequencer and pro tools at 20% of their capabilities while you could use a tracker and skills at 150% of their "told" capabilities. Damn it, I've got aaaalllllll wrong for years :(
Less is more, IMO.
there is still challenge to be had writing modules for 64k intros, including convincing your coder to give up 32k for you yet again.
