Full Version:
OpenMPT v1.17.02.48

Has the bug occured in previous versions? If yes, please specify version(s): (This option is optional, and doesn't need research. But in case you know...)
not tested

Description of the bug:
Some copy&paste stuff does not seem to work properly with MOD files.
If you copy an effect, it will change.

How to reproduce (step by step description):
Comparison XM and MOD:
write the Effect F01 in the effect colum. mark the "F" and press ctrl+c! now, move down and press ctrl+v. in XM format, everything happens like expected. in MOD format, the pasted effect will be 101!

Confirmed. Even when marking "F01".

Sounds like it is being interpretated as an IT function during copy, and pasted ad an XM/mod function.

Tested some other codes in a MOD file, and they all changed after pasting :
C -> D, E -> 2, A -> F.

It confirms my suspicion, because these commands (left side) is the command in IT, where the right side is the same command in XM.

You're right.
After checking the effects code-lists, I found a workaround for this.
The XM-list has a complete copy of the MOD codes, plus some extra from H to Z.
So it's perfectly safe to convert a MOD to a XM, the codes will stay the same. (Not the other way around of course).
Because this copy/paste works correctly in XM mode, then the editing of a MOD could be :
~ Open the MOD
~ General Tab : Song Properties -> XM
~ Do the editing
~ General Tab : Song Properties -> MOD

Another fine example of this bug:
When you try to copy LPChip's pattern from here http://forum.openmpt.org/index.php?topic=1987.0 into OMPT you get the same notes but effects are messed like crap. Instead of volume slides I get pattern breaks and note cuts are missing. The module type is set to IT by default

Pasting works fine for me when pasting the whole text including the first line "ModPlug Tracker IT", not just the pattern part.

2Relabsoluness I paste the first line too so the problem still exists. I'm using 1.17.02.48, it's the most recent ver as far as I know. Maybe someone can verify this, because I got a riddle here :?

I tried it again, and this time it didn't work, but when pasting the text into a text editor and removing an empty character at the end of line 'ModPlug Tracker IT', then it seemed to work.

Thanks, Relabsoluness! Now it works fine :oops:
