Bug in Milky-Tracker :-(

Hello,

I use Milky Tracker for quite a long time now and I want to report you one bug (I have sent a mail to the autor but I get no answer for the moment..).
When you've got 8 voices and you want to mark all channels to copy/paste them to another pattern... then Milky crashes
Who could resolve it ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm the author of the Milkytracker port. I'm sorry you didn't receive any response from me, the email address mentioned in the Milkytracker docs and on OS4Depot is no longer valid (hotpop.com has shut down a couple of years ago). I have never encountered the bug you mentioned, I'll try to reproduce it at home. Anyway, the bug could be common for all the ports and not specific for the OS4 one, the best thing would be to port the latest Milkytracker version (v0.90.86, released last month) before investigating further. I'm very busy lately, I'll see what can I do these days, can't promise anything though.

Is it pure recompile, or some additional os4 code in ?

@kas1e

Some fixes are required for the file opening requester (handling the HOME environment for example), what has to be added too is the support for a list of all the current devices (ATM Milkytracker on OS4 can load/save data only its current partition). There was also a nasty bug which prevented the compile of one of the audio replay modes due to a bug in the version of GCC included in the SDK, a workaround was required, I don't know if it was submitted in the Milky's CVS (they are now using GitHub I see).

EDIT: it requires autoconf too to generate the makefile (at least the old v0.90.80). I compiled it by generating the makefile on Linux and adapting it to run on OS4.

Ah ok.. Thanks for what you could do (perhaps).
And thanks for your great port of milky on Os4

it's hosted on github now and they accept patches, so i guess some amigaos4 changes could be submitted.

@Varthall
In other words nothing hardcore, just home, handling of filesystem normaly as well as deal witch compiling itself. Should be pretty easy, will try soon latest one

@kas1e

Ok, just wanted to let you know that I'm compiling it right now too :)

@Varthall, @Kas1e @spotUP

Very very great !
Milky makes me happy and big basses too

A first version, straight compile with no changes added:

I'm working now on the file handling, as for now modules can be loaded only from the same folder where Milky is stored. I have tried to load an 8 channel module, selected "Mark all" to select all the tracks and copied them, no crash observed.

Varthall

Great work !
No crash with this beta here too. That's very important to not waste time during the music edition

@Varthall
If you will have no time to commit aos4 patches to main milky's repo, plz share them so i can do that boring work for you. Having them in main repo will be good for anyone later for pure compile/run

varti, nice!

@Varthall,

Just to say that I tested a little more the Milky Beta version and I can't use it.. Lots of problems when for exemple I load samples (I must do octave down and down to get the real speed of all samples, problems when I press keys of my keyboard to listen samples etc etc... )
So, is there any updates you will upload next on os4depot ?

Thanks

No news ?

Hi,

I'll post a second beta this evening with a fix for the keyboard problem, I'll check the problem with the samples speed too. Sorry about the delay, I have been very busy this month.

Varthall

@Varthall

I understand very well that you are busy and I thank you very much for your answer and future updates too !

@Varthall,

I wish all is oki for you...
What about a new version of Milky Tracker ? I think you're very busy so, my question is just to know if you think about it for next mounths ?

Thanks

I hope this time to make it :) A second beta with just a minor bugfix for a start, the keyboard should work correctly now:

https://docs.google.com/uc?export=down ... qDqDmouu0zZl9tU0otSHY5cjQ

Regarding the octave down/up issue, are you using the note transposing or is this related to the keyboard issue too?

Please let me know of any other issue (except for the AmigaOS devices change in the requesters and the general GUI slugginess).

@Varthall

Hey, Thanks a lot !
All seems to work perfectly now.. But i must take a little more time to test your nex beta Version. I'm going to made a new mod in a few days so, I'll bring you some informations or/issues.
Thanks thanks thanks !
