a nice thing would be a right click on a track the user has loaded with the option to remove it from the list, or even better a remove button below the stop button to remove the selected track from the list.

You are right, the "interface" needs to become a little more user friendly. I'll add something like you suggested. You can remove tracks already though. Simply drag them off the window after you stopped the song.

Hi guys!

I resurrected this project after quite a long break the other day. I dropped the idea of reading the max subsong number from memory since it just wouldn't work. Instead I now search for a certain pattern in the files, which is way easier anyway.  ::) I found the places where the number is stored for MON, FRED and HIP formats, but I haven't had any luck with CUSTOM and DW so far.

I know this is a very specific problem, but since there are some Amiga fans on here and it's my favorite forum I'll ask here nevertheless:

Does anyone have format descriptions to the aforementioned 2 formats? Or any hints where I could find them? Does anyone know from memory because they are genius? Any random guesses on how to find them?
Any hint, help would be higly appreciated!

Thanks!

Pad :)


[EDIT:] Yay, I found the pattern for CUSTOM myself, so only DW left.

Just checked this out. Nice work Padman! Looking forward to seeing the next version. It would be nice to have a 'previous subsong' button and some more songs :)

I've had a hunt around for info on the David Whitaker (DW) format or source for a replayer but came up blank I'm afraid :(  Doesn't look like that's going to be easy to achieve...

Thanks mate!  :) Just download v1 of it and get some compatible songs from ftp://ftp.modland.com/pub/modules/[Edit]: Looks like the in_sk00l.dll doesn't get the subsongs info right either. It always shows 4 subsongs, even if there are more and it always starts with the 2nd one.  :-\ With my 'hack' you can at least switch through all available subsongs (well, minus one)...
