sliBase - v0.1

Commands list:

sliCmd_loadBASS
This command loads an audio file of various format (MP3,xm,mod,wav,ecc) listed in the BASS Library input file format specification and allows to modify any attributes of any objects in the Maya scenes, only in "preview" mode.
The preview uses the IDLE maya status to computing, so if you try to rotate the scene, the preview stops and then restart after you release the mouse or stop the rotation (or zoom, or any other actions in Maya scene).
The archive contains:

• sliBase.mll v0.1
• sliBase_loadBASS.mel
• this is the MEL script to manage sliCmd_loadBASS command
  
• GstNGob.xm
• an audio sample created by me with FastTracker v2.0 for DOS. An old remix of a Commodore-64 game named Ghost'n'Goblins
  
• BASS.dll
• This is the BASS Library I used to create this plugin. Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ian Luck. All rights reserved. Check the site for more information.
