Module Ripper 2.1
└───────────────────┘
1. General Information ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────┘
Mod-Rip extracts modules from files. The module itself should be
uncompressed. If the whole file (demo, intro or whatever) is compressed
with an executable compressor such as PkLite, you should first open the
file using a suitable program, for example XOpen, Unpack, Tron, etc.
The ripper is currently able to handle 10 module formats:
MOD: 1-32 channels, many formats
STM: Scream Tracker 2
S3M: Scream Tracker 3
XM: Fast Tracker 2
ULT: Ultra Tracker
MID: Standard MIDI files
DMF: X-Tracker
MDL: DigiTrakker
MTM: Multieditor
669: Composer 669
2. How to use ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
───────────────┘
The command line parameters are as shown here:
MOD-RIP.EXE <filename> [-oxxxx]
│ │
Name of file where you want to find the module ─┘ │
│
Offset from the beginning of the file (optional) ──────┘
"xxxx" is a decimal number by defult. Hexadecimals
can be used in assemly, C, or Pascal-style notation.
(For example, 12345h or 0x12345 or $12345.)
Once you started the ripper, it will try to find a module in that file.
A progress indicator on the top of the screen shows how much of the file
is processed. If it finds something that can be a module, then you are
prompted for a filename for that one. Before you enter a name, please
check the information displayed in the middle of the screen. If, for
example, the title of the "module" is pure garbage, then it is not a
module, but a false identification. I tried to minimize the chance for
false identifications, but it is always possible to fool a ripper.
If you don't want to save that module, then just press ENTER without
entering a filename. Searching can be interrupted by pressing ESC any
time.
2.1. How to get the doc ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────
─────────────────────────┘
Entering
MOD-RIP -dMOD-RIP.DOC
will print the doc to the file MOD-RIP.DOC.
3. Files in the ZIP ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
─────────────────────┘
FILE_ID.DIZ You guess... 226 bytes
MODRIP21.DOC The textfile you are reading right now. 3682 bytes
MODRIP21.EXE The executable moduleripper. 15203 bytes
REMAL107.NFO Remal info file. 16223 bytes
Anything found in the archive is garbage added by BBSes.
4. What's new? ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────┘
- support for MIDI, DMF and MDL
- XM support improved (it was fooled by multisampled instruments)
- about twice as fast as it used to be
5. Remember... ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────┘
Remember that using ripped modules without the composer's permission is
usually considered stealing. Ripping well-known trade-mark samples and
melodies will make you look pretty lame. So think about it.
