Title: When I save my XM file to the MOD format, it changes the shape of my samples
Post by: YuGiOhJCJ on October 06, 2016, 14:49:56

Hello,

In MilkyTracker 0.90.86, when I save my XM file to the MOD format, it changes the shape of my samples.

In order to save my XM file to the MOD format, I do:
* Config > I/O > Frequency table > Amiga frequencies > OK
* Disk Op. > .mod > Save As

In the sample editor, at this moment, the shape of my samples is still good.
But if I load my .mod file on MilkyTracker, then I will see in the sample editor that the shape of my samples has changed.

Here are some screenshots to illustrate the problem:
* With a kick sample:

* With a sine sample:

* With a snare sample:

* With a square sample:

Can you explain me what I am doing wrong please?

Thank you.
Best regards.

I found a workaround: Downgrading to MilkyTracker 0.90.85.
It is a bug in MilkyTracker version 0.90.86 that is not present in MilkyTracker version 0.90.85.
After building MilkyTracker version 0.90.85 on the same machine, I am not able to reproduce the bug.
It seems to be related to an already reported bug [1].
Unfortunately, the fix provided is not working.
I have built MilkyTracker version 0.90.86 with the provided patch [2] and it is not fixed: Saving my XM file to the MOD format changes the shape of my samples.

I can't reproduce this bug with the latest git - perhaps you could try a new build.

Indeed, with milkytracker 26f975179392c115adc8b3b5cd594a20d63cd787 [1] (the latest git) I can't reproduce this bug.
But with milkytracker 0.90.86, I am still able to reproduce it.
Well, if you want to use a release but don't want to have this bug, I recommend to downgrade to milkytracker 0.90.85.
But if you want to use a current version, the 26f975179392c115adc8b3b5cd594a20d63cd787 version is fine.

Oh, I like the look of that particular commit message.
