Short: EaglePlayer "Protracker" external replayer Author: Wanted Team Uploader: wt@jho.pol.pl (Don Adan/Wanted Team) Version: 1 Type: mus/play This is a different version of the external "Protracker" replay for EaglePlayer 1.54/2.00+. Version 1 Features: - Analyzer - Voices - SampleInfo with SampleSaver (EP 2.00+ only) - PatternJump - Balance - ModuleInfo with Position Counter - Volume - SongEnd - SubSong - Save - capable of finding the author's name with the EP FindAuthor routine - PatternScroll Notes: 1. In order to use this Protracker player you must first disable the internal ProTracker player in the EaglePlayer manager menu (and sometimes the StarTracker player also, for example for modules from the game "Lotus III"). 2. This player doesn't play all tracker mods correctly. It plays some mods correctly, some mods incorrectly, some mods better, some mods worse, and some mods differently than the internal EaglePlayer ProTracker player. At present there is no single Protracker player which correctly plays all Protracker mods because there are too many different versions of the Protracker editor/replay with different wait modes and sometimes even with different commands. 3. This player uses the WaitAudioDMA function so you can change the wait mode in the EP Timing submenu and set the correct values for your particular Amiga CPU and/or screen mode. 4. This Protracker player was based on the Dens Design version of the Protracker replay routine used in the game "Aladdin". It was mostly used by famous tracker musicians like Andrew Barnabas, Volker Tripp and Bjoern Lynne. The main reason for this player is to allow you to play Protracker mods with (pseudo) subsongs like the ingame modules from the games "Aladdin" and "Cool Spot". 5. If a module uses the normal PatternJump command sometimes subsongs that don't really exist are detected. 6. The loaded module must have always be at least as many bytes long as the calculated size. This is why some modules will give you an error with this player. 7. If you want you can try to make a better Protracker player, the source is available on the WT page. 8.
