I'm trying to talk with nineko now on irc so we can sort this out. I hope somehow we can resolve this so any other people with issues can get to use this program too

Yesterday I had a very hard day at work and I was really tired so I didn't manage to connect, I'm sorry. Don't forget that I live in italy, so I will be probably sleeping during the week.

Double post + Bump.

After some beta testing, I decided to officially release version 3.2 of xm3smps, with a lot of new useful features.
Quoting from the changelog:

You can now remove a voice from the song you're converting

Added leading zeros for 1-digit values in the hex preview in the voice manager

You can now copy and paste voices from the clipboard

Added more options, with an "Options" screen

Fixed a minor bug related to non-looping songs

Added more Tool Tips and more Shortcuts

Optimized the XM loader: it now needs less memory (usually around 60% less)

Added an optimizator that tries to remove redundancy in loops

Fixed a DAC-related bug with some non-standard XM files

The meaning of these updates should be self-explanatory.
As usual, many thanks to Puto, but there is a also new entry in the "special thanks" field: Oerg, as he found out a quite obscure bug I always overlooked.

Also as usual, feedback and comments are appreciated. I tried to include many requested features in this version.

Go get it on the wiki!

About the icon, I prefer the first one.
Your gui is very useful. I appreciate it.

nineko · Feb 21, 2008

While I do appreciate the feedback (thanks!), I don't think it was a good idea to do a 1+ month bump just to give your opinion on something decided since long time ago... Just saying.

Oh well, let's put some useful information in here since it's been bumped: the next version of xm3smps (whenever it will be) will support direct importing of voices in Cube/Iwadare format. The import filter is actually already in and working, but I don't think it's good to release 4239423 intermediate versions so I'll wait to have more stuff for the next release (namely, I still want to rewrite part of the code).

Isn't that Spinball's format?

Varion Icaria · Feb 22, 2008

It's Mean Bean's format, I forgot what Spinball used.

Tweaker · Feb 22, 2008

Spinball uses GEMS. I think that's the only Sonic game that does, in fact.

muteKi · Feb 22, 2008

Yup. Unless it might have been used for the scrapped SatAM game.

No.

Man, I need to write a page on the wiki about that driver someday.

nineko · Mar 29, 2008

It's coming...

Hitaxas · Mar 29, 2008

*is pumped*

I am sure this will be loads better than the previous release. I can't wait to see what you have in store for all of us.

nineko · Mar 29, 2008

How could you guess so quickly that I'm working on a new release?

Btw, that pic still has some hidden meaning, try to get the reference... :P
edit: and when I'm going to release it

SephyUK · Mar 29, 2008

5 days from now?
Or the 3rd of May?
Anyway, I have yet to work around the problem with MSCOMCT2.ocx. I put it in the folder with xm3smps, system, and system32 and still no go. I've tried millions of copies of it. Can someone help me with this?

Spanner · Mar 29, 2008

I got mine from here.
You are supposed to put it in /system32 & then restart your computer, it should work instantly.

PsychoSk8r · Mar 29, 2008

Well, there's 5 lines, which there are in a standard musical notation. But I'ma go with Sephiroth. 3/5(/08) =P

Sith · Mar 29, 2008

Erm, # indicates decimal values instead of $ hex. *shot*

Anyway, you're gonna make a lot of hackers happy with this nineko.

Puto · Mar 29, 2008

God, you guys are dumb.

nineko · Mar 29, 2008

Come on dudes, that's ascii art for "xm3smps" <.<

Aurochs · Mar 29, 2008

???
