The example file you provided on the forum plays perfectly here in OpenMPT 1.20.04.00, there are no infinite loops. There is nothing wrong with the pattern loop behaviour. |
|
|
Clarification: The problem only happens with this file: http://modarchive.org/module.php?108033 and only if "Loop Song" is off. It happens because of the crazy pattern jumps. OpenMPT would have to keep track of the order of all played rows of the current pattern to fix this behaviour, which I don't currently think is a good idea to do. |
 |
why is the loop playing indefinitely at my end then??????? |
|
|
Read my previous comment. |
|
|
ok.. I now see that is the file I used... why did you say it plays fine if the linked module is the EXACT module??? |
|
|
and why did you mark 'unable to produce' if you said that was an issue with that linked module??? |
|
|
Am I really that hard to understand? The error you describe only occours if "Loop Song" is off. I never use that feature, it took me quite a while to figure out what you were actually trying to describe (thus the first comment was on the song being played with "Loop Song" on). |
|
|
I've made an attempt at fixing this... Revision 1430 should play the module as intended even if "Loop Song" is off. Try here: http://sagagames.de/stuff/mptrack.exe |
|
|
it only loops once then the whole module stops cold!!! |
|
|
Yes, because you have "loop song" disabled. It should stop like every other module you play... |
|
|
No, I mean it stops RIGHT AFTER the looped portion of the song!!! it DOESN'T continue with the song!!! just that looped portion plays!!! it won't EVEN loop three times as indicated!!! is that hard to understand??? |
|
|
Yes, it is that hard to understand, because you are not being very specific. You said "it only loops once", and that could also mean "the song only loops once" and not only "the specific portion of the pattern I think about only loops once", because, as I've said, I think to have fixed the problem, and OpenMPT plays the song completely on my end, no matter if "Loop Song" is on or off. Are you sure that you have used the new mptrack.exe from my comment above? How do you play the module? Do you simply hit the "Play Song" button? |
|
|
I downloaded the mptrack.exe and replaced the original and hit play... |
|
|
so I hit play again it plays through, so I hit 'play from beginning' 10 more times to see if it was working... three of those 10 stopped after the looped portion... this could be a bug under 'random' |
|
|
The problem only appears to happen when using "Play Song" for the first time after the module has been loaded. It never occours with "Play Song From Start" (which is what I am always using). |
|
|
I closed the module each time... I must have hit 'play' a few times... so I try again... it seems to be an issue with pressing 'play' upon opening... |
|
|
Here's another try, which should also work when just using "Play" instead of "Play from Start": http://sagagames.de/stuff/mptrack.exe |

works... |
