You're welcome!

Looks like a nice piece of software. Any plans to port this to other OS's?

bLAZER · 09 March 2014, 15:57

No plans yet... I might try to port it to Linux this year.

Hewitson · 09 March 2014, 16:35

Let me know if I can do anything to help, I have a number of Linux & FreeBSD systems and I can code in C (although not nearly as well as in assembly).

bLAZER · 10 March 2014, 01:37

Sure, I will!

New Protracker 3.6 pattern view. Used for PT 3.6 mods. Might add an option to use this pattern view for all Protracker mods.

I'm gonna try to compile a version for another OS. Started with Linux but then I realized that FMOD (the soundengine I use) isn't yet available for Linux, however it should be shortly. So next on my agenda is to try to get an OS X-version rolling. I've hardly never used a Mac before so it's gonna be interesting... first step is done: installing a virtual OS X.

Great feature! Is it possible to auto-split the wav output files? If not it'd be a nice feature.

edit: I am outputting these to wav and even though the "playing" has stopped, the .wav file keeps growing and BZR has to quit.

bLAZER · 31 May 2014, 00:01

The output to wav is very basic, it will start recording once you start the program and stop when you quit. It's on my TODO-list to make it a little better...

Congratulations on your v.1.00 release.

bLAZER · 16 June 2014, 23:26

Thanks!

Alexco · 07 July 2014, 20:14

Checked it today for the first time (Win7 64Bit). I added a directory into the playlist window and it showed all files fine. But accidentally I added some mp3 and .exe files. If BZR encounters these files it crashes. Sometimes it will also crash if I try to remove such a file from the playlist. Also corrupted modules will result in a crash. Does it support HVL or only AHX? Because my HVL files will also crash it :-)

bLAZER · 08 July 2014, 16:39

Both or HVL and AHX should work fine, and though it might be possible to get a crash if an exe-file happens to match the signature of a sound format it's VERY seldom. I've tested several 10 thousands of mods and a crash is also very rare. So I think there's some other issue. Can you reproduce a crash?

Alexco · 09 July 2014, 08:52

Yes I can reproduce this. Take the testing123.hvl for example. It crashes here instantly.

bLAZER · 09 July 2014, 21:42

Works fine when I test it. Are you sure all program files are from the same version? For example using plugins from 0.99 with the 1.00 exe will not work.

Alexco · 09 July 2014, 22:04

Hmm. I just downloaded the 1.0 zip, unzipped that into a folder and started the .exe. So nothing special. BTW this is my corporate laptop without any DirectX installation and I do not have admin rights.
What is the normal behavior if an unknown file is encountered? Just skip or is there a warning?

ancalimon · 10 July 2014, 01:17

Is it possible to make BZR Player play the songs from Indiana Jones 4 and Monkey Island 2 (Amiga versions of course). I have yet to find any player that is able to play songs from these games. Some of them sound much better than the PC midi versions.
Well... Actually I don't even know how to rip them

bLAZER · 10 July 2014, 16:52

@Alexco
DirectX should not be an issue. Not sure about admin rights. If you right click/Settings/Enable logging you could take a look in the log and see if there are anything that might explain it.
If a file is unplayable it's just skipped, and marked with a line thought it in the playlist.

@ancalimon
Indy IV uses Martin Walker-format...not supported at the moment. I don't know what format Monkey Island II use...so I don't know if it's possible to play...
