Woops.
You spotted a bug, there - it's fixed (i hope).

Tracking / source code for MO3 support
« on: March 14, 2006, 10:09:31 »Quote from: "Eagle"
Probably nothing, except, it is WinAmp. WinAmp is probably one of the worst players for modules. It is one of the best players for Media Player Expert Group Layer-3 (mp3) files, though.
Btw, MP3 standard is part of MPEG suite (Moving Picture Expert Group).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3 I've never heard of Media Player Expert Group o_O Got your wires crossed or is there something I'm missing here...

The Lobby / Re: Tracking library (forum suggestion)
« on: March 10, 2006, 05:13:07 »Quote from: "zovik"
Not sure where to post this, but here goes.
I'd like to post issues of TraxWeekly to the forum (it was a text zine devoted to tracking between 95 and 98 ) to be a reference as well as help keep the history of tracking alive.
Would this even be helpful? Wanted? It wouldn't be hard to get them all up, and I'm willing to do it if the interest is there. I was thinking a thread devoted to the zine, with one post per issue. The only problem is I'm not sure where they should go.
Maybe there could be an extra section of the board for zines, articles, and such. Like a library of tracking.
Hey zovik,
That would be great, and yes definitly something content worthy is always good to have. I have some idea of how to work this out - you post the articles in the "Scene News" forum. When I have the new site up, copying that content directly to a dedicated articles section will be very easy for me, so eventually your zine could end up as part of official modarchive content if you wished.
Posting the articles here on the forum in the Scene News are would also give people the opportunity to respond and leave comments etc...
I could set up a dedicated forum but in my opinion it would be best to keep to what we've got now as to not make the activity on the boards too thinly spread.

Tracking / source code for MO3 support
« on: March 08, 2006, 09:05:38 »Quote from: "Ceekayed"
Anyways, I started thinking what if (yes, again a horrible idea coming)... the whole modarchive was converted into .mo3s. Think about the size of it after that!
Uhm, ok, I'll go eat my medicine.
Yes eat your medicine because that I am afraid is quite out of the question! If you really want to do this, feel free to download the torrents and do them yourself for personal use.
You have to remember, that hardly any players or tracker programmes (especially Amiga users, yes they are still out there and of course older DOS trackers) support mo3, and in most of these cases they never will. Therefore it would render this site pretty exclusive to those players and trackers that do - it would discriminate, in a "Microsoft" way.
I often go by the saying "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" and the existing and established mod formats certainly are not broken, so what if they are uncompressed on the module level?? On the archive, they are zipped anyway - which means that if you mo3 compressed each file, and then zipped it you would end up with a file of relativly equal size and there is of course the potential that the filesize can grow larger if two compression methods are applied.
Food for thought? No. Medicine that tastes bad. :lol:

Update:
I've found someone who is going to take a look at updating our custom written (and old) instrument parser, so once mo3 support is added to that, adding mo3 support to the rest of the (new) site will be very simple indeed. Good news eh?

That's a pretty good review, nicely done eagle
You'll definitly get a review account, just not until the new system is in place (well, maybe i might let you in early on the new system for testing purposes when im happy with security).

Edited the link in the post, had a . after the link which is bad.
Ok, thanks for the info. I'm not yet able to promise anything as the engine that does the decoding of mods is binary and I don't have the source code myself - that will be looked into when I get further into the development of the new backend system. I can probably give a good indication that the new site will support MO3, if all goes well.
