MilkyTracker Bug Reports / Re: Minor Glitch - causing a crash
« on: December 25, 2009, 03:02:15 »
Sorry, I haven't been on the forums here for a while - otherwise I would have responded sooner. The version I have is actually 0.90.85. It just wasn't released - it was an update I was given to resolve the hanging issue in Win98. It's not the PocketPC version - so I unfortunately can't help you there. I'm glad to hear a new release may be coming soon though. Keep our fingers crossed.

MilkyTracker Bug Reports / Minor Glitch - causing a crash
« on: September 10, 2009, 20:59:41 »
I'm running Win98SE and I posted here, back in May, about MilkyTracker hanging on exit. That problem was resolved (thank you) with version 0.90.85. However, I think something else got messed up in the process.

In the Sample Editor, if I switch from 8-bit to 16-bit before actually loading in a sample then I get this message:

"An attempt was made to save the current module in the application folder. Please report this error..."

After clicking the Ok button I get another error message:

MILKYTRACKER caused an invalid page fault in

If however I load in a sample first, then I am able to switch between 8-bit and 16-bit and there is no error or subsequent crash.

I tested older versions (0.90.60 and 0.90.80) and neither of them have this bug.
The pop-up window asking to confirm this flashes briefly, but then it just ignores the request and everything is fine.

So to summarize - this is only occuring in version 0.90.85 (MilkyTracker_mbcs_rtaudio3).
If anyone could look into this, it would be appreciated.

Ok I think I understand the volume situation now.
Too bad they didn't deal with it properly in FastTracker.

Pailes that would be great, if it's not too much trouble.

I wasn't really thinking of the global volume, but since stopping the song corrects the issue (resets the volume) then why not have the program do the same thing automatically at the start of the song?

I don't know, but I was thinking that the freezing problem might have something to do with the file browser. It's just a hunch, because I know that explorer really lags and looks like it has hung if there are lots of directories or files. Maybe I'm totally off course here, but it might be something to look into.

Thanks for all the feedback by the way.

I forgot to mention...
When I discovered that it was hanging I went to use the previous version to see if it was ok, since I didn't remember ever seeing the problem with it. Then I realized I had deleted the previous release. So I redownloaded it after scouring the net for it (maybe there could be previous versions up for download on milkytracker.net?), and sure enough it doesn't have the bug. Version 0.90.60 doesn't hang on exiting the program. I know there have been a lot of changes between it and v0.90.80, but it's a starting point at least. Hope that helps in tracking down the problem.

It may be that the track volumes are being set to zero at the end of the song, but shouldn't the program reset them at the start of the song to initial values or something? Also, I am using DirectX for playback. Any ideas as to why MilkyTracker hangs when I close the program? I'd be happy to have that fixed, if nothing else.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced these same problems, but I've found that:

1) When a song loops (finishes playing and starts again), some songs play ok, but other songs have no volume on every track - nothing plays until you stop and start the song again.

2) MilkyTracker hangs/freezes when I go to exit the program and the only way to get out of it is to kill the program's process from the task manager. This even occurs if I just start the program, don't load any songs whatsoever - do nothing in fact, and then try and close the program.

I'm running Windows 98SE.
