Short: Newest version, smart module player Type: mus/play 93/06/22 History file for SmartPlay v3.1 by Xtreme Intelligence ======================================================== The whole philosophy behind this program has changed quite a bit since the first versions of SmartPlay. The 1.0 version (6KB) released 92/10/03 was a plain ST/NT/PT player, without any real userinterface. Since then, SmartPlay has been totally re-written at least two times, got a quite advanced & configurable userinterface, and many unique options has been invented. All suggestions from the BETA testers and other users has made SmartPlay a quite small & powerful moduleplayer for the Amiga.. VERSION 3.1 - Rel. 930622: ========================== Program size: 35512 bytes > 7096+ Source size: 134057 bytes > 27158+ Since Last release: 90 days of hard(!) work.. - The outlook & userinterface is once again really improved, and is now more logical to use. Unused functionbuttons will now be properly shaded. - The Configuration window got more options, and a new outlook. Both the ProgramList editor, and the Configuration windows are now running independently from the mainprogram. - Small WorkBench support added. SmartPlay will not crash when loaded from WB anymore, and will handle the WB messages properly. No tooltypes or stuff like that implemented yet (coming in v3.2). - RandomPlay, DoubleBuffer and Fader modes added. - A listwindow containing the names of the samples were added on public demand. It is now accessible from the gadget containing the names of the modules, author, type etc. on the mainwindow. - XPK support implemented, and the PowerPacker decruncher does now use the xpkmaster.library too. - The fastmemory replaylibrary "SPlay_FAST.library" is now really improved and supports all CIA speed, and jump commands. All !PM! modules are also supported trough the new fastlibrary. The modules are now loaded into fastmemory in the same way as to chipmemory, loading & allocating the samples one by one into memory. The player will not need the 260KB chip- buffers for all modules played trough fastmemory anymore, so the new "Chip Save" mode should be quite useful even for daily use. - (Octa)MED(Pro) MMD0/1 4c and IFF-SMUS files are now supported trough the two new replaylibraries, SPlay_OMED.library & SPlay_SMUS.library. - Useful Auto-Flush mode added for the SPlay_xxxx. replaylibraries. If the "Flush SPlay_Libs" Flag is set in the configuration, all used libraries will be detached from the system, and all memory will be freed on exit. - The Volume and Balance knobs are now really working in Realtime. The volume is now more logarithmic, and will fade the samples regarding to the default volume of the used sample. This makes the Volume gadget more useful as the music now will sound the same, not loosing any samples, when set at low volume. - The .PRG programfiles can now be loaded from the PLAY button as normal modules. This makes it easy to create programs containing modules from different paths, and get fast access to them right from the mainwindow. Several programfiles may be linked together by inserting another programfile as the last entry in a program. - A position indicator, showing the amount of played positions added. - PS=PUBSCREEN/K argument added to commandline. - Improved windowposition handling. - ST/NT/PT SONG files will now be properly loaded. The ST15 inst. identify routine fixed. - Minor bug in the ProTracker/NoiseTracker identify routine fixed. - Errors on first module will now continue program properly if requested. - Annoying bug with the modulelist scrollbar (290+ modules in one program) fixed. - The modulename & author information should not disappear at random intervals anymore. - The old ForceFilter option is now replaced by an automatic routine. - End-Of-Module detection improved. - Module/Author/Played/Type cyclegadget text updateroutine fixed. - Borders will not disappear anymore at ZoomUp using the ZOOM gadget. - Only the first gadget will be executed if there are multiple gadgets pressed before SmartPlay is ready to execute them all. - ST/NT modules used to end up looping the first pattern - fixed. - Fixed some bugs in the !PM! PowerMusic decoding. - Memory handling improved. - CIA interrupts will now set all bits correctly on startup. - Some replaylibraries got more/new volume/position functions. - The L+R mousebutton stop/next function improved - Removed the crap-text typed in the CLI window on startup. - "Old Config found.." requester improved. - Many other bugs, and bad Enforcer hits removed. This version should run much more stable than the previous ones. - Phew.. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1100 542 50.7% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/DOC/DISTRIBUTION.TXT 9953 4210 57.7% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/DOC/HISTORY.TXT 23505 8586 63.4% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/DOC/SmartPlay.DOC 6076 4128 32.0% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/powerpacker.library 38104 24999 34.3% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/reqtools.library 2920 1838 37.0% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_BPSM.library 608 433 28.7% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_DELT.library 2740 1660 39.4% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_DSS!.library 6620 3634 45.1% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_FAST.library 4656 2266 51.3% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_FC10.library 3064 1998 34.7% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_FC14.library 584 416 28.7% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_GMOD.library 2632 1571 40.3% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_JAMC.library 9852 5550 43.6% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_OMED.library 572 419 26.7% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_PM18.library 2208 1362 38.3% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_SF13.library 532 393 26.1% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_SM10.library 3512 2139 39.0% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_SMII.library 8096 5677 29.8% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_SMUS.library 2132 1291 39.4% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/SmartPlay/SPlay_ST15.library 13456 7507 44.2% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/LIBS/xpkmaster.library 10096 5906 41.5% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/PREFS/ReqTools 4753 1540 67.5% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/PREFS/ReqTools.doc 35512 21081 40.6% 22-Jun-93 00:00:00 SPLAY31/SmartPlay 1555 516 66.8% 23-Jun-93 11:13:28 metsatahti : THE MOVEMENT FiNHQ - JUSTiCE SCANHQ! -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 194838 109662 43.7% 28-Jun-93 11:14:48 25 files
