Of course, I understand. I feel the same way about my code. I do have a project I would quite like to use XM for, but that won’t be near completion for probably months at least, so I have no reason to hurry you

Thanks you for your positive feedback.
I’m on it and I hope I’ll get it finished soon. I wish I could release it now, but I don’t want do publish unfinished code.

Thank you so much for your work on the XM player, even if it is not yet complete/available it is very impressive, and reassuring that it is even possible to do.

Hi Danny,
The XM Player in its core is finished and working, but most effects are missing and I will implement them step by step. I Haven’t released it yet but I intend to do it soon

Hi Paul,

Are you still implementing this XM as3 player? Have you released it?
I would like to know more about your progress, thank you.

This looks quite promising. I’ll definitely check it out.

Didn’t expect you to pop up in my comments

Have you tried FlashModPlug by UnitZeroOne? (http://unitzeroone.com/labs/flashModPlug/)

Performance is quite a bit worse than FlodPro (which is fast enough that we use it in games all the time) but it can handle multi-channel formats like XM and S3M.

Hi Steve.
In fact, it wasn’t a big deal. I’m just drawing lightmaps (sprites in the color and shape of the light) on a black global lightmap (with the size of the screen) using the blend mode “BlendMode.SCREEN”.

That way I get a global merged lightmap with all lights in it. Then I’m just rendering this global light over the whole scene using the blend mode “BlendMode.MULTIPLY”.
That’s all

If you’re using flixel too, you just have to override the render methods in your lighting classes.

Maybe some day I’ll write a short tutorial about it.

Cool! I’ve been trying to do something like this myself, I don’t suppose you could share how you did the lighting?
