The Lobby / Re: Media with tracker music OSTs

« on: January 08, 2024, 11:19:46 »

The only instance I can come up with are all early pop cap games such as PvZ, Dynamite and Zuma Deluxe; Enkord games such as Clash n Slash; There are also other "Office games" genre titles that have tracker music as .mo3 files. Ones I remember are: Astro Fury amd Alien Outbreak

Hi.

Could you name the modules you are talking about, so I can give them a look?

No worries, I was mostly rambling.  My apologies for that.

I guess my primary question can be boiled down to this:  when "note portamento" is read, does it start bending the pitch of the old (current) note on the second tick, or on the first tick?

Likewise for the "note delay": does the first tick count as part of the delay, or should the counter start on the second tick?

    -dZ.

It all starts on the first tick

Hmm. Sorry, but it indeed sounds confusing to me. I really don't know a solution to your problem..

Yes, it helps greatly!  Thank you so much for the help.

I'm really glad it did, because I feel like my wording was a little twisted maybe :-)
Good luck with your progress and don't hesitate to ask about anything

Cheers

Yes. you are correct. Basically ALL commands in the tracker are only applied to the specific row. Note commands, instrument commands, volume commands, effect commands, you specifically tell the song how to manage its playback.

On note portamento, when it reaches the target note in pitching, it simply stops shifting and keeps the note you were trying to pitch to. It will start to change only when you put a different note under that effect and it will start pitching to that specific new note afterwards. It won't shift backwards or any sort of action like that. (Vibrato would be more handy for you in this case hehe)

Yes. You are also correct in your 4th statement

It is up to musician whether the note reached it's point or not. XM does not revert changes if it overshoots or some sorts... Scratch that, Tracker cannot overshoot the target note when tone portamento is used. It can only undershoot it and even then it's the fault of the composer, who didn't calculate the number of rows required to reach the target note on a certain speed.

Hope this helps

Hi again.
The note portamento works a little bit differently than portamento up or down effect. You've got the setup part correct, where you have to put that effect on the row where the note is present, so that it will start shifting pitch to that note. One important thing however is the speed. You have to also add 30x commands afterwards to keep pitching until it reaches your target note. You can also aet the speed to a high value, so it reaches the note in just one row, but generally, if you're going for a gradual portamento to a note, you need to do it like so:

Code: [Select]

C-5 01 v64 ---
D#6 01 v64 308
--- -- --- 308
--- -- --- 308
--- -- --- 308

And so on until it reaches the d#6 note
