Title: Shareable color schemes
Post by: Harbinger on August 15, 2009, 01:26:20
Store color schemes in a separate file.

Exchange the presets button in the Color options page for a single Load button where you can browse for preset color schemes.

A Save button would also allow you to save your color scheme in case you'd like to share it.

This could be good... :)

This would be excellent indeed. With a feature such as this, I would not have to manually color the program each time! Of course, you know how I colored it, so perhaps this comment will be totally ignored. Maybe not totally ignored. I might be exaggeratng a little bit with that.

You might just have a look at the mptrack.ini file instead of recovering your colors (or just don't delete/overwrite it at all).

Oh, you mean keep a backup copy of mptrack.ini. That would certainly be a wise move. I am not sure why I did not think of that before.

well, one should always have a backup of that (and everything else), though i would also support the request to make color schemes exportable... i understand, that as simple as it may sound it would require quite some work... still it's a nice idea to make them shareable

ofcause this is not something really urgent...

So, perhaps what that means is that hopefully Jojo (as well as everyone else) has a lot of patience. My dad and I did try to modify the program in the past, but because:
1. I do not know much about how to program in C++ and my dad did not remember some of the techniques (I think that would be the wrong term, but I cannot remember it at the moment) to make programs. In addition, he said that the code that ModPlug Tracker uses is too complex for his understanding.
2. Of the program code's complexity
I would imagine that it will probably be quite a while before we see this version of ModPlug Tracker on SourceForge in a stable form (especially if the sequencer, row count and the effects were reformatted to start at 1) (highly unlikely). In fact, I would say that is probably less likely to happen than the sequential limit being increased again (which Jojo has already said is unlikely to happen).

why would anyone want that? that's how trackers work, period.

I am not exactly sure why someone would want that (since computers' counting numbers (which are based on the binary (base-2) system) start with zero anyway) (which is indeed weird assuming that, when the inventor learned how to count, he/she started at one rather than zero).

No, it started with zero.

I was referring to the actual inventor not the invented (assuming you were thinking the other way). :lol:

Ok, I was bored, so you maybe feel a bit happier now.

Why, are you pregnant now? :nuts:

Nonono you're getting it wrong. Only you are.

Eh okay...

Congrats to me then X) :nuts:

So... who's the mother? :P

You should know that! :P

Crud... I was afraid you were going to say that!

Hmm, and I thought that LPChip and Jojo were guys (at least LPChip, based on his (?) name (http://lpchip.com/home/)). Either I was wrong or they might be having some biological strangeness going on. I didn't think that males got pregnant.
