FMOD problem with webstart?

[kappa]

i have gotten fmod to work nicely with my app but problem is when i package it in a jar i can't seem to get the file to load, below is my load code

public static void load(String ref) {
		
		System.out.println("Loading : " + ref);
				
		File file = new File(ref);
		if (!file.exists()) {
			System.out.println("No such file: " + ref);
			System.exit(0);
		}
		
		// using ref (path)
		module = FMusic.FMUSIC_LoadSong(ref);
	}

the problem comes since FMusic.FMUSIC_LoadSong(String ref) only supports a string and i can't seem to figure out how you would change it to get it to load the resource out of a jar, since URL isn't supported, any help on this would be appreciated!

read the file manually from the jar and feed it's contents via a butebuffer to LoadSongEx

Check StreamPlayerMemory.java for loading into buffer (FSound example though, but same idea).

ah ok thx, got it to work, btw will lwjgl be moving to fmod 4 any time soon? since it has the much wanted midi support on the linux systems too?

[Matzon]

no, not planning on it any time soon - however someone might volunteer to do it and donate the code

If you really need FMOD 4 there's already a FMOD 4 port for Java: NativeFmodEx: http://jerome.jouvie.free.fr/Fmod/NativeFmodEx/index.php
