Download

The command line version of xmodits can be downloaded here.

If you want a more user friendly version, consider getting the gui version here. Do note that the gui version has less supported platforms.

Please have a look at running on older systems.

How to Use

xmodits {ARGUMENTS} <module path> [destination folder]

e.g:
    xmodits ./test.s3m ~/Music/Samples/

    xmodits ./test.s3m

    xmodits ./mod1.mod ./mod2.it ./mod3.s3m [destination folder]

    xmodits --fmt="8svx" ./*.mod ~/Downloads/samples/8svx

Note: If the destination is not provided, xmodits will place the ripped samples in a self contained folder in the current working directory.

Additional Arguments

Building

Install the Rust compiler if you haven't already: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

Clone the source code:

git clone https://github.com/B0ney/xmodits-cli

Build:

cd xmodits-cli
cargo build --release

The compiled binary is placed in: xmodits-cli/target/release/

(*nix systems only) You may get a Permission denied error if you attempt to run the program. In that case, you'll need to mark the binary as executable:

chmod +x xmodits

(Optional) Compile with build metadata embedded in the binary (enables --Meta flag), This will take longer to compile:

cargo build --release --features="with_metadata"

(Experimental) Compile with multi-threading:

cargo build --release --features="rayon"

Running on older systems

Windows

Minimum supported OS: Windows 7

XMODITS is compiled with vcruntime (msvc only) embedded, so it should run out of the box.

Linux

For backwards (and forwards) compatibility, it is recommended that you download the *-musl variant.

Older linux systems may have glibc versions too old to run the program.

You'll most likely get an error like this if you attempt to run the *-gnu variant:

libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18` not found (required by ./xmodits)
