Listen .v2m module music in VB .NET?

[Freefall63]

Hey guys,

I made some .v2m music on my own and would like to play them statically in vb 2008 .NET,

because this is my favourite language. All I could find on the net was a c++ project, a delphi .dll and

a vb 6 native project with a modified linker to link a v2m lib. Now I need to ask, is there any way?

Greetz,

This lib is a bit older. Farbrausch released V1.5 some time ago.

Grab the source code of the V2 Lib here and try to interface to .net

Have fun...

Ah thx dude for remind me they´ve already published their sources. Well I´ve still no idea how to start...

[Freefall63]

More help would be appreciated....

Try this fast test, not all V2M funktions are implemented.

Its C# and im not a .net coder.

I think yu can easily convert to vb.net.

Its based on Ufo-Pussys dmex.code

chech out this topic : http://forum.tuts4yo...al-dlls-from-c/

I also added an old example with "MagicV2mEngine.dll"

you can also embed this dll into your final EXE using a recent version of MoleBox and there will be no external Dlls.

Great, thank you guys! I´ll take a look into that.

@Kurapica:

I also need to thank you for the c# ufmod netmodule tutorial, it was great!

Is there also a batch script for VB .NET?

@hmi222:

Woher hast du diese V2_DLL.dll??? Das ist C++, sag bloß du hast diesen behinderten scheißhaufen von farbrausch quellcode kompilieren können

Übrigens funzt das anscheinend bei mir nicht, beim start gibts gleich mal ne dmex fehlermeldung "Entrypoint not valid or not found." und daraufhin sofort diese exception "Could not map v2m!". Hab die plattform jetzt auf x86 konfiguriert aber es hat sich nix geändert. Dein code muss soweit auch stimmen, kompilieren kann ich das ja auch...

[Freefall63]

Sry forgot to switch back to English^^

Well Kurapica´s project didn´t work either, I´ve uploaded the error screen. Never saw that error lol

[Kurapica]

of course It won't work, because I'm sure you have a 64 bit OS and as you can see, the exe doesn't have the 32bit required flag set ...

Open the Project and change the Target CPU to 0x86 and It should work .. this is necessary because the external DLL is a 32 bit module.

[Kurapica]

@Freefall : the same topic , http://forum.tuts4you.com/topic/27912-play-xm-chips-without-additional-dlls-from-c

contains the VB.NET version too, check the attachements.

[Freefall63]

I already set it to x86, and look at the picture, there is no HResult exception. the error came from this line:

V2mPlayFile(CD.FileName, True)

It seems to have problems with reading from memory o.Ô

PS: Thanks for the link, finally I can use netmodules in vb now YEY!

sorry I don't understand german or that language, but I remember that the DLL fails playing some V2M modules, could be a format problem or something like that.

[Freefall63]

It´s an old v2m file, so that´s not the case. I already know of this issue What else may be the problem?

[Kurapica]

send me your Project if possible otherwise I can't guess in the dark !

It will be an opportunity to install Visual Studio again after all this time

[Freefall63]

Ok let me see, do you have some time this evening? It would be much faster if we work together on that with teamviewer.

Is your OS 64bit? So i think thats a problem to replay that way.

If so, try to test on 32bit.

all examples in this post are working for me, also Kurapica's too!

[Kurapica]

1 - start a "cmd.exe" as an administrator

2 - Type "bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOff" + Enter

3 - Restart Windows

Not my fault, I didn't code that DLL or add that silly DEP crap feature to windows

Yes! It´s working now, great! I only have two questions left:

1. Where do you have these v2m c++ playback dlls / projects from

2. Do I need to repeat these steps when I want to run my app on another computer?

[Kurapica]

Q1 : I made these forms with Visual studio 2008

Q2 : most probably it will work on Windows XP without these steps, but on Windows Vista or 7 there is no guarantee, maybe you should find another DLL that doesn't mess with DEP ?

another solution that I didn't test and to avoid turning off DEP, use a recent version of MoleBox, Create an executable pack and make sure to add the V2M DLL to the package, It may work normally on any PC.

Which examples (dll's) are working now?

Could yu please detail something more?

to nr 1:

The V2_DLL.dll was compiled by me, based on the sources of the new V2M Format Version 1.5 by kb/Farbrausch. http://1337haxorz.de/products.html#v2

So there could be made more modifications.

The MagicV2mEngine.dll was done by magic_h2001 ( http://magic.shabgard.org/) based on the V2M format before V1.5. I think yu can find magic_h2001 here on the forum.

Your example works for me when I disable DEP. F*** this DEP s*** - it doesn´t work on any other pc because of this dep issue...

How exactly did you compile a dll out of that example on http://1337haxorz.de ? I couldn´t even compile the example project xD

Perhaps you could make a little tutorial for me to learn from you?

Q1 : Of course you made the forms with VS 2008, but how did you compile the dll?

Q2 : I tried molebox some time ago to include the bass.dll, however that didn´t really work...

[Kurapica]

Freefall63 : Why don't you calm down ? we all can use the F language skillfully so please keep the tone down.

I didn't compile the DLL myself but I found it in a package made by mudlord If I remember correctly.

Maybe you should try a recent version of Molebox again and make sure It works before jumping to false conclusions.
