[Fraggie]

Thanks for the compilation.

The correct file is now up. Sorry.

JaZz - slow_day.ahx plays the same stuff constantly... I brought up the Pattern in the Visuals and saw that it went back to 000 and there's nothing inserted after that. so from time 01:32 -> 7:40 it's basically a looping sound. Is there any way to reduce the song length to where it really ends? After 12 patterns it should stop.

You can listen to the tune here:

[Fraggie]

You need to ask Jazz to fix his songs.

[Elrinth]

Is it difficult to implement a silence / empty pattern recognition-routine?
I'll try to gather a bunch of tunes which continue even tho they're supposed not to and see how many they are if it's worth looking into to make such a routine.

[Fraggie]

It's not silent.

The tracker plays it the same way, so I'm not sure about cutting the song because of empty patterns...

Edit: This will be most of JaZz's songs.

[Elrinth]

then damn that jazz.. I can't add his songs to my ultimate collexxion

[Fraggie]

This is indeed a bizzare way of tracking. Maybe these songs were intened for some customized player in a music disk/game/demo? Or edited afterwards and spread broken. (?) I don't know.

Fraggie: Where has your website gone?! Without which, we cannot enjoy your plugins!

http://dhost.info/pieknyman/ is utterly empty at time of posting.

[Fraggie]

Bloody hell. I'll fix the page in the evening. Thanks.

[brycco]

this tune seems to muck up the instrument list..that (8 bit - 16) is definitely not in the right spot!

[Fraggie]

Your file is corrupted.

Use Modland!

Bugs
====
When the AHX/HVL plugin is used with Windows Classic 2.1 skin, there are huge gaps between columns in 'AHX/HVL Pattern/Dot-Mode Display' visualization. The bug does not exist when used with Default and Windows Classic 2 skins.

When clicking on the timer, only the hh:mm:ss formats are shown, not order:row formats. When AHX/HVL file is playing, the order:row timer format should be made available, similar to XMPlay's built-in MOD player.

When playing a 1-song AHX/Hively Tracker module (eg: children of pie[1], Virgill-Forsaken[2]), the Length field in General tab is 1 second longer than the song length in the Songs field.

1. Right, the display went crazy because of a non-proportional font.
2. This needs to be addressed in XMPlay first. I believe it already is on Ian's "to do" list. (Probably at the bottom of that list. )
3. Rounding mismatch.

1 & 3 I will fix. Thanks for your feedback.

[Fraggie]

Rev.17 is ready.

 * Fixed pattern display for skins with non-monospace fonts
 * Fixed "Length" field rounding problem

Also updated docs (thanks deus-ex, just took 4 years).

Bugs
====
After installing XMPlay AHX/HVL plugin rev.17, XMPlay does not load AHX or Hively Tracker modules. The 'Open file(s)' dialogue box still recognize the files as XMPlay-able file type, but the plugin itself is not listed in the XMPlay's Input and archive plugins list. The bug does not exist with XMPlay AHX/HVL plugin rev.16.
