Once again you have the perfect response and resources! I did notice some of the 'exception code' when I was going through the libopenmpt source. This is definitely exactly what I needed, and it looks to be smooth sailing (as much as it can be) from here. Thank you so much ;D !

Ok! So I've made a lot of progress, but I keep running into errors with reading mod files. Is there a place I can find the 'anatomy' of a mod? It's a bit hard trying to figure it out by just analyzing other programs' load functions.

Also let me know if this conversation is better suited for somewhere else. Thank you!

I think you're right. I tend to use MilkyTracker pretty often, so I'll try to jump into the source, maybe make a primitive player.

I did have one question before that. The ft2 player used Windows Multimedia to actually play the audio once it was decoded and put into the buffer, and it seems that OpenMPT does not. Is there a preferred audio driver (if that's the right word for it) for making players? I wouldn't want to use one and find out it's depreciated.

As always, thank you for your help!

So after about a month of diving into your sources I've made a pretty good understanding, though I still think there's stuff I need to learn. I wasn't able to make the tiny mod player work, which was likely my own inexperience. I instead focused mostly on the ft2 player which, as you said, was more difficult to understand.

Do you know of any other simple players that I could look into? This stuff really is cool!

These look perfect! I'll do my best to learn it on my own (and with online resources), but I may come back here with a question or two if I'm having trouble.

Thank you for the help, and thanks for all the hard work you put into this site and OpenMPT!

Hi! The title is pretty much what I'm asking. I've been looking through the Openmpt source code (https://source.openmpt.org/browse/openmpt/trunk), and specifically openmpt123, to try and understand how it works. However, the complexity of the project has confused me, and I was wondering if there was a more 'simplified' player or guide I could look into.

For background, I'm no stranger to programming (though c++ isn't my strongest language), but I know very little when it comes to audio programming. I'd love to learn this stuff, either to make my own kind of player, or to contribute somehow!

Thanks!
