- --- ModTime v1.5 ---
-
- ⌐ Gryzor - Melun Club DeLiRiUm!
-
- (with a great help from Peter Kunath / Delitracker's author)
-
-
-
-
- This tool is a bonus for the Mods Anthology CD-Rom owners!
-
- But it will be found later in the bonus-programs of Pro-Wizard...
-
-

-
-
- Subject:
- »»»»»»»
- Well, the title is clear enough :)
- This tool is able to calculate the duration of several types of Mods.
-
- Recognized formats are:
-
- - Protracker
- - FastTracker 1 and TakeTracker
- - FastTracker 2
- - ScreamTracker
-
- Ok, but where does it write the duration? ==> in the FileComment of coz'!
- Like Pro-Wizard does...
-
-
-
- Bonus:
- »»»»»
- Additionally, it also writes the number of channels of multichannel mods,
- just after the duration, in the comment.
-
-
-
- Usage:
- »»»»»
- Like my other "ModInfo" tool, it's handy to use "ModTime" in a button from
- DirOpus or so... I think you know how to proceed now...
-
- It requires KickStart 2.04+ of course, and makes use of xpkmaster.library,
- as usual ;) and here, it's very handy too (like for ModInfo), the tool
- doesn't need to unpack whole files to do its job!
-
-
-
- Outputs:
- »»»»»»»
- The output is the same as Pro-Wizard's: (examples of filecomments)
-
- - [05:45] ; For a Protracker mod
- - [05:45] - Blablabla... ; For a Protracker mod + other infos...
- - [05:45] - 12 ch ; For a Multichannel mod
- - [05:45] - 12 ch - Blablabla... ; For a Multichannel mod + other infos.
-
- Note that if a module already has a duration stated and/or a number of chn,
- ModTime will overwrite them (I mean, the tool detects if such data already
- exist, and then erases them before inserting the new ones, but be careful
- of the format, it must be exactly the same ('- [' / 'ch -' / etc...))
-
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- I really think that you will find it very useful, if you like, as I do,
- to state these informations for each of your modules.
-
- AmigaDOS filecomments are so useful! :)
-
- Too bad that the CD-Rom's format cannot keep them......
-

-
- History:
- »»»»»»»
- I started to write the first version of this tool in October '94 (yes!)
- but I kept it for my own use :(
- Then I decided to include it in Pro-Wizard as a Bonus Program, but I never
- had the time to write a new version of PW (this was after V2.20), thus I
- release it now, for this marvellous "Mods Anthology" Collection ;-)
