Modplug Tracker 1.16 Build Error

[Really Weird Person]

I tried to build Modplug Tracker (1.16) from its source code, but I received the following error.

Error   97   fatal error C1189: #error :  _WIN32_WINNT settings conflicts with _WIN32_IE setting   C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\sdkddkver.h   217   mptrack

How do I fix this so that the program will run?

I played around and managed to get the program to run (ultimately by using F5 after inserting mptrack.exe into the folder named Debug), but it has errors, so changes to the code are not being committed. I am guessing that is what is happening.

[Saga Musix]

What version of visual studio are you running? AFAIK it only compiles without errors in VS6.

[Really Weird Person]

That is probably my problem then. I am using Visual studio 2008.

I fixed that now, but I have a couple of questions, one regarding an error and the other regarding the pattern row.

1. Error:  Occasionnally, when I run the program, I receive an error saying that MODCHANNEL is misaligned (and that it equals 264) or something to that effect.
2. Pattern row:  I increased the pattern limit, but the pattern row does not work prioerly. The first 254 patterns display properly, but 255 is a hyphen (blank) and at 256, the patterns repeat. The tree view and pattern indicator (to the left of the first channel) seems to work fine, but the pattern row does not.

How might I fix these problems? Wow, with the pattern row one, I can maybe see now why you are not interested in reincreasing the pattern limit.

Something else that I would like to do is add the Go To… dialog, but I am thinking that can wait until I have a definite pattern and order limit. They are both currently set to 65,536, thouugh I am thinking that I would like to use [at least] 131,072 in the end (primarily because some songs actually require more than 65,536 as well, such as one that I am considering, which requires 66,963 patterns). Hmmm, I tried 131,072 and that was no good. 65,536 seemed to work, except for the pattern row portion.

I downloaded the latest source code recently. I have a question though. Rakib had mentioned linking the platform and VST SDKs. How do I do that?

The VST stuff goes into OpenMPT's include directory. You can get the necessary files from code revision 241 or older.

I put the files there, but that didn't seem to help. Below is a list of  the errors.

Perhaps my problem is that I am missing a file or some files, but the errors do not say that I am missing any files.

[Saga Musix]

yeah, that looks like you got the wrong VST SDK or put the wrong files in the include\ directory. Note that you can also compile without VST support if you don't need it.

[Really Weird Person]

I have personally not used VST that I can recall. How do I do the compilation without it? I suppose that I could exclude the VST files from the build.

[Saga Musix]

Uncomment "//#define NO_VST" in StdAfx.h

[Really Weird Person]

That seems to have worked. Now I have only two errors. They both involve Microsoft Incremental Linker not working. I am instating an update for Visual Studio. I will see if that helps. It seems to be working now! Thank you, everybody for your help!

[Saga Musix]

Yes, I've seen some problems with the linker before upgrading to Service Pack 1. That might help.

[Really Weird Person]

I guess that is not going to work, eh? I was hoping to use at least 131,072 patterns (though preferably 1,048,576 as to reduce or even eliminate the need to use the position jump) (since it is unaffected by the x-parameter effect anyway), but I would need assistance in modifying ModSequence.h to change the range to go beyond 65,535. Perhaps someone can help me with this.

[Saga Musix]

Good luck with finding someone to do that for you! Do you really think we will help you with getting OpenRWPlug to support more patterns while we already say that the tracker is simply not capable of doing it without rewriting maybe half of the code? Changing limits in the ModSequence stuff is easy, but you will break the tracker with that.

[Really Weird Person]

OpenRWPlug

I must admit, that is funny. I also increased the row quantity to 65,536 to take full advantage of the pattern break. That seems reasonable to me. More than that doesn't though
