Yeah, but 'upgraded' mods. They have more options and stuff. And they can contain more and better effects. And they have VST effects, modifyable row lengths etcetera.
You can best open the with Modplug Tracker: www.modplug.com .
The only mod format that uses compressed samples is *.MO3 . Itīs from the makers of BASS.DLL . *.MO3 can use MP3 samples or OGG samples . Which drastically decreases the MOD size . The MO3/UnMO3 utility can be found here . It converts an mod into an MO3:
Unfortunately there is no extension to play MO3 in MMF . Calling the extension developers at this place . Still, i fear that there may be a conflict with MP3 encoding here . Licence issues . So i donīt think that we will see MO3 support for MMF ...
One thing for VST effects in *.it mods : Plays fine in Modplug tracker . But play it with an MMF Mod extension in an app, and all VST effects are gone .
The only efects that can be used in an MMF App is the DirectX ones , using Modfusion Ex ( not sure if the current available version of Modfusion Ex supports that . I have asked Josh to implement this feature . He did ( thanx again ), and it was downloadable in the Extension section of the Clickteam Board some months ago. Which i did ... ) . Still, tweaking the DX effects into the right timing is a pain .
Too bad that the MPT page is down at the moment . But Modplug Tracker is Open Source . And can also be found at sourceforge.net :
