Plugin question

[cpow]

Hello!

I am working on providing input and visualization plug-ins for the FamiTracker community. I have the input plugin mostly working, just dealing with some seeking issues.

But here's the thing. A single FamiTracker Module (.FTM) file can contain multiple song tracks. I would like some way to be able to hook this to the <</>> buttons on the UI. So if a FTM module is loaded that has multiple tracks, then pressing <</>> will move within those [within the same file] before moving to the previous/next file.

I'm not sure if there's a way to do this. I'm crawling through wa_ipc.h for possible messages to send.

In the meanwhile the majority of FTM files are single-track, so the UI as-is will suffice. I just thought it'd be nice to support multi-subtrack navigation.

Lastly, are there any source examples of visualizer plugins?

This post is information all from memory so if someone says something different then don't worry about my post much.


For modifying the functionality of the <</>> buttons you'll probably have to subclass the main window and then watch for WM_COMMAND (if memory serves) messages. The specifications for what to look for is not in wa_ipc.h so I'll go ahead and provide it here:

The above defines were reformatted by me for use in a cpp unit I use for my plugins and is not cannon, modify it as you see fit. I don't remember where I got them.


There is no vis_*.dll example in the SDK but there are a number of vis plugins with source code available that you can use as a reference. You'll just have to find them.

Thanks for the info. I found the source code for the milkdrop visualizer.
