I'll look into it by myself before asking other questions.

I tried to run the ./configure thingie. It's not part of the package. I am too amateur to find out what to do next by myself.

I thought i could grab a new version before builds are made. I also thought i could check out if some bugs remain in the latest code.

I'm under mac os x. I compiled / installed SDL and all went well.

since its brilliant to be able to already use schism tracker to input notes from a midikeyboard, and have the pattern playback start on first pattern trigger - it is therefore suggested that two (2) switches are created for user usage:

first switch:
when receiving Midi Pattern Trigger - do you start from 1) first row of pattern or 2) row of pattern that cursor is on.

second switch:
when receiving Midi Pattern Trigger - yes/no on "do you filter all midi input?" -mode.

if these two are implemented, it's very easy to guess what i'm going to be asking for next.

9:46 <@distance> either way, is one or the other or both of those switches doable
19:46 <@Storlek> which switches? memory like a goldfish
19:47 <@distance> filter midi note input
19:47 <@distance> 19:29 <@Storlek> how about a switch to ignore midi input
19:47 <@Storlek> that, prolly not, because it seems really really complicated
19:47 <@Storlek> that, yes
19:47 <@distance> - when using midipattern trigger
19:48 <@distance> and switch: say: "when midi pattern trigger received, do you: A) start playback of pattern from

              start of pattern B) start playback of pattern from row-cursor-is-on.

19:48 <@Storlek> in other words "should midi sync start act like F6 or F7"
19:48 <@distance> exactly
19:48 <@Storlek> well, not exactly, since you can ALREADY switch between playing the song or pattern

Comment too long; full version here.

I have no idea what might have been broken, but the file save and export code was a mess so I'm not fully surprised :P

fortunately, I had backed up those songs/wav's.

Unknown File Type: IT

which, as you can imagine, shocked me somewhat!

hope someone can help, im currently keeping Schism running so that i don't lose my changes!!

thanks

theGarbs

Also, it has 2 patterns, not 1 as the status text says.

I use 20100202.

I believe I padded the orderlist before I saved it or something like that but it may have added the 255 after the 256th index, which I then dealt with in a hex editor.

Oh, and I should really remember to put that bit in in future.

Thanks for taking the time to strip out all those
Zxx commands.

Did you make a routine to do that?

I have 15yrs of my own mod work.
Schism Tracker has allowed me to "revive" them.

Thanks a million! :-)

Have a great one.

Shane.

I stripped out all the Z00 commands by hand.
That was the source of my grief. Now the
MOD plays the way it was intended. Hooray!

I forgot that they were even in there.
I was using them as a memory aid (hard to explain).
I don't even use the midi portion of IT mods....

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP/INSIGHT, THANKS! :-)
SCHISM TRACKER ABSOLUTELY RULES!!!!

Shane.

As for the filters, here's a Zxx-stripped version. Were you maybe using IT with non-filtered mixing or non-MMX drivers?

Thanks!

I'll do what I can to correct this.

I noted that when I play some of my other mods,
that they play just fine, provided that I don't
change the speed/tempo...

Feedback was/is always appreciated. :-)

Take care:
Shane.

P.S. Schism Tracker really RULES! :-)

Thanks:
Shane.

If a song changes speed/tempo (the Axxx Txxx commands),
then samples/instruments lose their volume, and or,
disappear completely.

I suspect that MODPLUG is where the bug is, because
other apps that use "modplug" do the same thing.

Could you please look into this for me, since I am
forced to use WinXP, and I have a whole mess of my
own drum tracks that rely on Impulse Tracker.

Most of my songs change speed/tempo a lot. Without a
bugfix, my future in music is dead.

Comment too long; full version here.

What all that means is anyone tracking hg will now end up with a spare head for all the old stuff; don't be alarmed :)

It's trivially simple to ungrab the keyboard, and there most certainly are screen-grabbing programs that run on a framebuffer. Indeed, a few of the early screenshots on this page were captured from a framebuffer, because for a time I wasn't even using X11.

I'm entirely unconvinced that such functionality is at all useful enough to be built in.

> It never worked

Yes it did.

> It wasn't a useful feature anyway even if it did work, because you can take a screenshot perfectly fine with whatever existing method your operating system provides

Except when the keyboard is grabbed. Or when you run it without a desktop environment (framebuffer on z2 zipit).

That said, if you can rationally disprove those statements, I might consider adding a proper screenshot mechanism, but I seriously doubt its usefulness.

Why is the screenshot facility being removed?

This was very useful for taking screenshots of schismtracker in fullscreen mode.

I don't even know what might have been broken... and then fixed again, I guess

Great job as always!

(sorry about the tone of my last post, reading it now it sounds a lot shittier than I intended)

This behavior was observed in registered copies of IT.EXE (the same copy that has shift-chording in the pattern editor)

Did implementing this IT.EXE bug bother anyone?

Also ST3 is full of stupid bugs, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those bugs was related to portamento. Does it sound "wrong" in Impulse Tracker as well? I don't know if I ever listened to Satellite One in ST3, so maybe I have just been hearing it wrong for many years :P

Anyway, if you have any sort of bug to report, a testcase with preferably one channel and a very simple pattern is most helpful.

I'll look at all of the pitch handling code today.

Try playing satellite one by purple motion on a current build, it's completely unplayable.

Fixed, thanks.

(And yeah... I actually had to search for .far files to test the loader, because I have one of them.)

But looking over the code I noticed here that it says "Farnadole" instead of "Farandole".

http://schismtracker.org/hg/rev/8cbdadd80681

1.139+ strcpy(song->tracker_id, "Farnadole Composer");

Not like it matters, who uses this psycho format, anyway?

Seems that xmplay and xmp both reset the envelope and retrigger the note when it hits the note off, I don't get why but I'll try to investigate that later. For the time being I checked in a patch to make the envelope reset when a note is triggered and there's nothing playing, which I'm not sure how I managed to not ever notice before since it only makes total sense that you'd want new notes to start with the envelope not at the end :P

yes, I have not bothered with further subtleties of the Gxx effect yet. It does a lot of things wrong. That's still a low priority, considering how many players get that effect wrong in so many profound ways.

(Ux modplug extensions?)

-GM

P.S. I got it working eventually... and me.png.it is STILL not using the IT behaviour (compatible Gxx ? don't switch samples, just change volume : if the C5 speeds don't match, DON'T CONVERT (i'm looking at you, modplug >:/ )). Don't forget ßainor.it, too, as mikmod would play it IT-like if the loader wasn't so fragile (it conks out normally due to a few things, mostly the Ux modplug extension).

open -n "/Application/Schism Tracker.app"

or failing that:

"/Application/Schism Tracker.app/Contents/MacOSX/schismtracker" &

will show all non-Impulse tracker commands. It's a bug that Shift-F8 isn't listed; most things are.

cool...

brilliant...

Manual? what manual? :)

thanks.

One the first press, make F8 pause the song at the current point of the current pattern, setting the cursor at that point in the Pattern editor.

F5 then resumes from that point.

Second press of F8 acts like the current f8 and stops the song.

It came to me while listening to KungFuFurby's latest entry in the Trippy compo.. somewhere around pattern 150, i got hungry and didn't want to start it all over again :)

We're looking into implementing ctrl+B (and ctrl+O) directly on the sample screen (F3).

I'm not entirely sure I understand what it does, but I know I want to be playing around with it.

Thank you.

All the names are made up

I do plan on making keyjazz play nice with instruments and also chords on the instrument list and so on, yes.

Also: keyjamming still isn't respecting NNA on F4. Is fixing this regression on the roadmap?

Maybe make it work on the pattern editor (does the same as alt+l/r) ...and then list them in "global keys" on F1/help? Though that might confuse some ppl who are used to those keys in Impulse Tracker.

I sometimes find myself fugging up my orderlist with keypad + trying to fast forward to next pattern(s), and end up overwriting orderlist entries with +++ markers.

... Fixed in hg.

I had a channel full of effect data without any effect commands assigned. (Just numbers in the right collumn) that I was using to keep track of my offset locations for a big sample I was cutting apart. (Love that Oxx)

When I saved and reloaded, it was all gone.

I compiled from the 20090728 release.

And when I'm on the info page, holding Ctrl and pressing left or right no longer moves through the order list. Ctrl+UP and DOWN both still cycle through the instruments though.

It's not giving me any errors on the console, nor did it give me any at build time. I'm not sure which info would be relevant for you.

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2)
libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2

I miss them.

But anyhow 24-bit would be actually useful, even if it's import only.
