and how can we convert it among formats like .mod, .s3m, .xm, .it, .txt (vortextracker), .mid, etc.? 

unfortunately, there is no way to convert

you mean "no way" or "not yet"? and since .tic files stores music information, couldn’t that information be extracted somehow? (since it’s not that difficult, for example, to convert .vgm files into .mod, i wonder how difficult would be doing the same from .tic)

I mean "not yet", of course, music could be extracted or imported, but you have to implement converter.

Hi,

Just analyzed tic-80 tracker format and made quick tool ...

http://gigatron3k.free.fr/html5/tic80tracker/

Open module with Openmpt , copy one 3 byte of pattern (only notes) this mean eg "C-5"

copy the entire pattern ; go to http://gigatron3k.free.fr/html5/tic80tracker/

past copied pattern to the empty area ... and normaly you have all data for tic-80 tracker under ;

copy now all text starting with 04 and past it to tic-80 tracker;

- only octave 5 and 6 supported... no instrument number at the moment;

a bit faster than note/note by hand ;

great tool, thanks! :)

btw, i took these notes i guess might be useful (sorry if it doesn’t look clear enough): 

vn I? oi   (v=invertvolume?,o=invertoctave*2+?,n=note+4?,i=instrument)

04 00 60 = C-400F--
14 00 60 = C-400E--
F4 00 60 = C-4000--
04 00 00 = C-100F--
14 00 20 = C-200E--
24 00 40 = C-300D--
34 00 60 = C-400C--
F4 00 E0 = C-8000--
00 00 00 = --------

vvvvnnnn i....... oooiiiii

you must copy entire pattern channel 0-to 63 "Notes part"  3bytes;  and then the converter working well;

Don't copy 8- 16 or 32 notes... but 64

*** not understand sorry ///

04 and 6 bytes ;

04 mean position 64 on the tracker

if you are in position :

18 this value is 31 ... 0 to 15+(3 in hex)   every 16 notes the second byte is increased by 1;  

04 nv00io  :    note+vol+fx+instnumber+octave;
