Read file asynchronously without blocking the game

[mindslight]

I added some functions to read file asynchronously, because I working on a video reader, but it's working for any file and any usage

If you're interested, here 's how it works:

The function bellow will be called when the file is loaded:

Code: [Select]

void            my_async_read(char *contents, int length, int optional_token)
{
}

To read a file asynchronously, you just have to call jo_fs_read_file_async() with the filename, the callback and an optional token (user value for the callback)

Code: [Select]

jo_fs_read_file_async("DEMO.TXT", my_async_read, 0);

In attachement, you will find a sample code to load a background image (TGA) from the CD asynchronously

you're welcome

is it possible to execute this function while the CD is playing some music? I'm trying here but the music stops.


Tks man!!!!

I think the problem is when the console will read a image from the CD it stops to read the music... I don't know if it can read two things at the same time!

You can read multiple file at the same time but not with the audio CD (I think)

Yes, I realized that, but I found another way to do what I wanted heheheh! Thank you
