Re: 1tracker v0.47

Yippee! Yes, Phaser2! I'm very, very happy right now.
However, not completely happy because unfortunately I get an "not a valid win32 executable" error when trying to run this (XP SP3).
Ok, I'll see if I can compile it from source for Linux. Though without krue's compile guide I think it'll be tricky...

edit: not getting very far:

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Well, I downloaded my archive and tested it on two PCs, both with Windows 7, one is x86, another is x64. It works.

As for makefile, I don't use it, and there were changes in the project, so it is outdated. I don't know how to fix it.

Edit: Ok, I googled about this issue, and indeed, VS2013 (unfortunately needed to compile JIT) has some bullshit setting that affects this. Tried to change and recompile, please re-download and test it.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Yes, that did the trick, thanks. Btw took me a while to figure out how to operate the instrument editor, you might want to add those keys to the help page.

Unfortunately I'm very busy at the moment so it'll be a while before I get around to really digging into this, but nevertheless a huge thank you, Shiru.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

We had the linux guide on the other forum, right? sad

I've tried to run version 0.19 through wine, it works but it's very slow. I've also tried to compile it on Linux, but it seems to be complicated. If I remember well, we had to grab some angelscript sources elsewhere and compile them in advance...

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Patch for Linux support: http://krue.net/1tracker/1tracker_linux … 7.27.patch

The patch currently only works for 64bit systems.

After applying the patch to the contents of 1tracker_src.zip:
1. delete the contents of angelscript/lib
2. make in angelscript/project/gnuc
3. make in the top level directory
4. copy 1tracker to the contents of 1tracker.zip

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Ah, thanks krue. Alas, I only have a 32 bit system - any idea what changes I'd need to make? At the moment gcc chokes on scriptbuilder.cpp, with some weird errors like

angelscript/scriptbuilder/scriptbuilder.cpp:808:83: error: invalid conversion from ‘int*’ to ‘asUINT* {aka unsigned int*}’ [-fpermissive]
     t = engine->ParseToken(&modifiedScript[pos], modifiedScript.size() - pos, &len);
                                                                                   ^

Re: 1tracker v0.47

In the top level makefile, change the occurrences of virtual_asm_x64 to virtual_asm_x86.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Yes, it works! Thanks a ton, krue!

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Excellent. You're welcome. The sound seems to work better on this version too.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Thank you Krue (and Shiru, of course), it works fine for me too!

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Sorry guys, another update. Now with Phaser3.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

I've tried to use 1tracker more on Linux. Unfortunately, for stocker engine I only get sounds from the drum, not the instruments. And for most other engines, I get sound but as soon as they play a bit too much (when entering notes they start playing and loop), then it crashes and I get a segmentation fault. (No crash with Tim Follin 3ch so it's probably related to some engines).

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Latest builds have 3 new engines: OctodeXL, ZX-7, and the newly created prdr.

@garvalf: What Linux flavour are you using? Haven't encountered these problems under Debian, though I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.

@Shiru: ZX-7 engine is giving me problems, complains about "the engine does not provide any data".

Re: 1tracker v0.47

with the 0.20 release and on an other computer, it seems to work without crashing so I'm happy... (@utz I'm using Linux Mint)
For the Stocker engine I didn't notice I had to create the enveloppe so now I can get sound. For ZX7 it's working, just I got a few "the engine does not provide any data" at the beginning then nothing more...

Looks like 1tracker is on version 0.21 now, do we need a new patch?

I may be a bit optimistic trying to get this going on OS X... has anyone done that before?

17

Re: 1tracker v0.47

So far I failed to build version 0.21 on Linux, so we might indeed need a new patch.
In theory it should be possible to build 1tracker under OS X, since it's SDL based.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Any news here? smile

19

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Sadly, no. But it's good you remind me, I'll try to poke krue for a new patch file at least.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

1tracker updated to v0.22. Changed the markers (set by the Space button) into blocks, just like SNESGSS, where it proved to work much better. Ctrl+L (select channel) and Ctrl+A (select all channels) now alternate between the whole song and current block on each press, which is really convinient. Font and color scheme is tweaked to (hopefully) more pleasant experience.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Excellent! I find the new block system very intuitive, and it will indeed help to speed up the (already fast) workflow.
Btw, how difficult would it be to display an automatically generated block list to the right of the screen (accessible with some hotkey, for faster navigation in the song)?

Re: 1tracker v0.47

I'm thinking how to implement it in 1tracker. SNESGSS had similar feature (Ctrl+F), worked well.

Found a number of issues with copy/paste and expand/shring after previous changes, so I need to fix them first.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Implemented block list and names. Press Space to split the song into blocks, press Ctrl+F inside a block to edit its name. All blocks listed on the right, along with their names. There is the old navigation with Home/End keys that allows to jump between blocks, thus inside the list, so there is no separate keys for this.

The issues I mentioned in the post above were fixed too.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Perfect, this is exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you very much!

One little question, is it still possible to configure the color scheme? The current scheme isn't bad at all, but I like to work with a black background.

Re: 1tracker v0.47

Sure, just edit palette of the font.bmp, with Graphics Gale or something. It was configurable like that since the very first version. Details on the palette indexes is in the docs/readme.txt
