standalone converters for hmp and hmi?

[sezero]

@psi29a: Do you plan on adding standalone hmp and hmi converters like
those we have for mus and xmi? I vaguely remember that you had intended
to do so quite some time ago (I can't find the relevant thread at all),
but it would be nice if we had them.

I originally wanted just one decoder per format, not two... :/
I had no idea that Chris would be writing his own when I had already implemented both.

[sezero]

Well, I do trust my memory but I can't find the reference for it :/

Your versions have the advantage that one doesn't have to initialize the
library for them and are very portable across other projects. That's why
I wanted to have hmp and hmi versions of them.

[psi29a]

Me too... I'll try to implement one one of these days. ;) Sadly work, house and 4 children make it hard to find time.

Making this a wishlist item.

Had any luck looking into this?

[psi29a]

No, still for the wishlist. I still want to do it but anyone else wants to, they are free to do so. ;)

I take that back... i might have something...

OK, I'd like to see when they're available.

I know it's been forever... but I'm really tired and this is just baffling me:

wildmidi -x ./03\ -\ At\ Doom\'s\ Gate.mus
ERROR: No midi file given
wildmidi -x ./03\ -\ At\ Doom\'s\ Gate.mus test.mid
Conversion failed: System Error (_WM_BufferFile:216) test.mid (Unable to stat) : No such file or directory.

Derp... I seem to remember this working and dump directly to file. :/

Move the target output midi name right after -x:
wildmidi -x test.mid ./03\ -\ At\ Doom\'s\ Gate.mus

RIght... O.o I got something to compile without errors to support HMP but it isn't 'hooked' up yet to properly count the buffer to give a proper outsize. It was originally meant to write to file a few bytes at a time, so I'm tricking it to write to a buffer.

It's LGPLv2 code from Descent (DX1). It should give us a baseline for comparison to our in-house f_hmp.c
