Java Mod Player Changelog

What's new in Java Mod Player 3.7

• NEW XMAS SPECIAL:
• Enjoy some light bulbs on your desktop. You can enable it in the view
• menu. Select the screen, you want to decorate and select the effects and
• speed per screen.
• Remark: it depends on the desktop render engine how transparent windows
• are rendered and if a "click through" works. On Windows this works really
• flawlessly, but on KDE it is either flickery or with opengl it inherits
• the dim color of a window decoration under it.
• NEW: Follow song in pattern dialog is now fun to watch:
• - The arrangement is now scrolling to the activated pattern.
• - In the pattern dialog horizontal scrolling by user is not reset by
• caret anymore.
• - no editing the caret (mark text) via mouse by user
• - Rows and channels are fixed for scrolling - and added some color (yes,
• a bit more gray)
• - channel markers are buttons for muting and have a context menu to
• select solo, mute and un-mute per channel
• - resetting to normal mute will regard muted channels with ITs (if the
• author wanted them to be muted)
• - Added sample / panning representation in channel buttons based on
• samples / volumes and panning in channel
• - Coding of colored version was deleted... It is too slow anyways.
• - Follow song can be switched off - however, this will only stop
• automatic scrolling and pattern display. If the currently watched
• pattern is played, the caret will fly by (though being of lightest
• gray)
• - display of current volume column effect and effect column effect
• - No FollowSong while exporting - except for when doing play back while
• exporting
• - upper left corner shows pattern number
• NEW: Pattern/Sample/Instrument dialogs will disappear when a file other than
• a mod (e.g. mp3) is played - and reappear when a mod is played again
• NEW: To make pattern sample/instrument data (hex values) fit to sample and
• instrument dialog index, changed display there to hex as well
• NEW: In the instrument dialog you can now hop over to the sample mapped. Just
• click in the mapping rows on the sample of choice.
• FIX: Look&Feel menu will now show active Look&Feel set
• FIX: for the FIX of the FIX...
• With PortaToNote we did things a bit too easy regarding an instrument
• set. (BTW: The behavior of FT2, IT2.14, Schism and ModPlug is totally
• different here, which values for volume and panning reset to use.)
• Three things are now done:
• - if the current instrument is a long player (i.e. has loops), we will
• continue using that. If no instrument is playing, we will use the new
• given instrument and switch to it
• - but also safe the instrument set. Following notes (without instrument)
• will use exactly that new one.
• - reset panning and volume to the instrument chosen from above
• Check with Airborn.xm and Anthem.mod
• FIX: PatternBreak at end of Song: do a loop and start at given row, do a
• fade-out if wished. Do not do so, if infinite loops are to be ignored.
• (fixed spelling in GUI btw...)
• FIX: XMs: if we have a note cut, we have to store the zero volume, so a new
• note without an instrument set will not be audible.
• FIX: Empty patterns with XMs and ITs are now recognized. Default empty pattern
• is set for display (64 default rows with ITs)
• FIX: After loading Impulse Tracker mods reduce Patterns to real amount of
• channels (we reserved 64 channels in advance for filling)
