ill check the feature list right away and start some random testing. Great job everyone!
In addition to general feedback, it would be nice to hear whether this works in Win98/Vista/7/Wine.
I will get Vista this weekend, I will also be able to test it on Win98 and Wine. And maybe Win7... :)
Works fine with windows server 2008.
But still problems with Blue-Line Plug-Ins.
Great, Relabsoluness, good work, an impressive list. I will implement this.
As stated, primary information about the used OS is quite relevant, so maybe it should be some label of a post about a bug.
Inspired by the IrfanView forum on behalf of quick information about some posting-environments,
I like to suggest an extra option in the members profile section (LP?), showing below the avatar, about the local OS version.
This will enhance understanding the specific problem, without asking for obvious details first.
Of course testing in another environment like my Win98 on my second laptop can still be mentioned in the post.

Quote from: "Sam_Zen"...an impressive list.
Much due to Jojo as well.
Sam: You might want to upgrade to service pack 3, it's really a good thing to do so... lotsa bugfixes and a couple of new useful things.
Works fine under Vista x64 here. So far it crashed only due to crappines of its vst host. Exactly as on my XP.
2 Jojo : Just to check - is 'service pack 3' the same as the mentioned '1.17.02.53'. ?
service pack 3 is a windows update. your picture says that you (maybe) use winxp with service pack 1, which is pretty old. service pack 3 includes many fixes and a couple of new features, one of the being native WPA2 support for example (if you're using WLAN, this is mandatory nowadays).
Windoze SP, I see. This snapshot is from my studio system computer. At the moment, due to circumstances, I'm working on a laptop with Windows XP Personal Service Pack 2 the last 4 months, but I was too lazy to change the info.
I have a personal policy to be very withdrawn to get new Windoze versions on a system.
Automatic updates are disabled. Just because of a lack of trust.
I did notice the pattern cut. I am going to try something though. Opening a 5,101 pattern song and seeing what happens [kind of like how you can open [but not create] songs that have fewer than 4 channels]. Speaking of channels, I will have to play with the channel manager as well to see if you can reduce songs to less than 4 channels again. That would be funny! :lol: I also noticed that the spin control that controls how many patterns are shown ahead of the active one has now been removed. That is odd. Perhaps that is controlled in a different location [or not at all].
Apparently the channel thing does not do anything. Row minimum: 4, row maximum: 1,024
Here is what I discovered. It can open songs that are more than 4,000 patterns in length, but they are truncated to 4,000 patterns [which ended up being 3,999 for me because of the fact that my patterns start at 1 as opposed to 0].
Quote from: "Sam_Zen"I have a personal policy to be very withdrawn to get new Windoze versions on a system. Automatic updates are disabled. Just because of a lack of trust.
I think while your policy seems logic it's counter productive. The newest version with the latest update is usually the most secure version.
New version works swell on my Vista 32. Question, what are the "parameters" used when timestretching?
QuoteI also noticed that the spin control that controls how many patterns are shown ahead of the active one has now been removed. That is odd. Perhaps that is controlled in a different location [or not at all].
See here:
Quote/ <re> Default orderlist margin value can now be controlled with "DefaultSequenceMargins" ini-settings under "Pattern Editor" context. (rev 225)
Quote from: "g"The newest version with the latest update is usually the most secure version
Newest versions also often add unwanted, or even unasked, extra apps along with the security patch.
I prefer to have my safety dependent of personal alertness, caution, and then the setting of my firewall.
So I take the risk of being counter productive at the cost of some own extra effort.
So far, '.53' works fine on XP - SP2 by the way.
I suppose if Sam_Zen was going to upgrade because he is looking for features, he might as well upgrade to Windows 7, which has just a few extra features that Windows XP does not have :lol: That is kind of a joke because Windows 7 [as well as its predicessor, Windows Vista] is almost completely different looking than Windows XP. Windows 7 looks different form Windows Vista even [slightly], but it is most definitely different in look from Windows XP [although they do both use a blue color scheme].
Quote from: "g"Question, what are the "parameters" used when timestretching?
SequenceMs, SeekWindowMs, OverLapMs, ProcessStepLength (zero value means default)
(these should appear in tooltip window when leaving mouse pointer on top of the parameter edit box for a while)
Explanations for the three first ones(fourth is less important, only performance-related parameter) can be found from the SoundTouch readme.
2 RWP : I'm just not looking for extra features or different looks.
All this time i thought nothing was being done, you two were grinding away at the machine! :D
Thanks especially for including the "b" character for the pattern entries. Now i can show Db tunings with my songs!
Very anxious to test this version out! Even if it turns out to be buggy, thanks at the very least for the changes, Relab & Jojo! We'll report what we find! :wink:
Quoteincluding the "b" character for the pattern entries. Now i can show Db tunings with my songs!
Hold on. The "b" character ? "Db tunings" ? Tell me more please..
Quote from: "Sam_Zen"Quoteincluding the "b" character for the pattern entries. Now i can show Db tunings with my songs!

Db would be the same as C#.
Harbinger already made a tuning and used a weird char to represent the b part, cus he doesn't like the # one that much. Now he can complete it.
Nice work -- I've only find one regression (which I've already put in the 'bugs' forum).
How exactly does one go about changing the enharmonic spelling of a note from # to b?
Seems to work fine on Vista 64-bit so far... Even with ASIO4All :)
Only weird thing I found so far is that the plugin dropdown menu on the instrument tab seem to vanish all the time... clicking on the "invisible" menu makes it visible again, though.
Quote from: "bvanoudtshoorn"How exactly does one go about changing the enharmonic spelling of a note from # to b?
Look at this (http://forum.openmpt.org/index.php?msg=18560.0#msg18560), except now we have the "b" so use that instead of "\".
Ah, now I see, the 'b' being in my vocabulary a 'bes'..
have been doing all the same stuff as usual for a good ten hours or so with this version and is all rock solid, not seen any new bugs from regular use and i think it's fixed one i could never track down that made some plugins detune randomly. thanks! amazing version as far as i'm concerned!
Promising report, anboi !
1.17.02.53 is now 'officially' released. The executable in the release is the same as in the test version that was available here, but there are small changes in the release package. Thanks to bug reporters, testers and other people who have had their important role in the process.
The new file does not appear to work. Here are the errors that I receive.
Error 1 (from WinRAR): (http://www.postimage.org/Pq1Kv6fi.jpg) (http://www.postimage.org/)
Error 2 (from Windows Explorer): (http://www.postimage.org/Pq1Kv8Kr.jpg) (http://www.postimage.org/)
clear your cache and download the file again.
How do I clear my cache? Note: My computer is running the Windows 7 release candidate [presuming that you are running Windows XP and the cache is cleared in a different way for each OS].
The cache is a browser thing. In Mozilla Firefox, it can be cleaned by pressing ctrl+shift+del for example. for any other browser... use google. :P
Oh, I did not realize that is what you meant. Thanks
I think that I can figure that one out.
Almost forgot, thanks for the return of the RSS updates :lovethat:
