[Discussion] New module format - openModplug
woolters:
I've been using MPT 1.16 for a couple of years now and for me it's the ultimate tracker.
But whenever I try to win some new tracking souls among my friends and acquaintances, I have to hook them up with MPT 1.17, because MPT 1.16 isn't downloadable from their website anymore.
As far as I've used it yet, it could go straight down the sewers.
It's terrible for someone who's used to the Fasttracker 2 colour and keyboard setup.
but I thought it's still only a beta, so we have to stay tuned for updates, I'd say.
Eagle:
There's a v1.17 now? Are you sure that is not OpenModPlug Tracker? Or has Olivier Lapique himself gotten down to update the code himself?
EDIT: Just looked on modplug.com, and v1.16 is still available as a Starter Kit version. Got to try v1.17 now.
Saga Musix:
1.17 IS defined as openModplug, they continue the version history ;) the next big step towards a even greater tracker will be v1.17.3.0, coz it has - as say- its own file format and special tuning settings. as far as i can understand those settings, you are able to alter the note frequency associated to the notes... so you could easly play not only in halftones but also in cents :)

No rush indeed - it's still on quite experimental status :)

I'm quite surprised how often I hear how people don't like, or don't even dare to try, the open source version, while my thought is closer to 'did something change?' when speaking about way GUI works. What comes to the keyboard setup, it is configurable, so slight changes can be easily 'fixed', and there are different keyconfigfiles in the release package, one of which even has "FT2Style" as part of its description.
Saga Musix:
indeed, when i "had to" change to openMPT instead of MPT (coz of my new soundcard), i hated the new features at a first sight - but even after a week i got used to them and don't wanna miss them - the channel manager, the increased support of VST, and so on...
