What would be awful is the instrument envelopes affected the playback/execution speed for some versions of trackers. :).

but they are out there

multiply, BANG. so what's wrong with thist magical file? ok i'll shut up because it's scrolled off the recent files and i can't rememer which one.

only tempo and number of patterns

i assume you don't even need to care abot the samples

it is hard to take a mod and work out the time. but not THAT hard.

what, it's still echoing at the end so we're gonna -- no, i am missing smoething

No, there's nothing like that in the module formats... well, maybe reason.

but "effect instruction" can fuck off

but im going to admit i have no fkin idea how this file is stored. i HOPE there isn't a couple of bytes at the start saying how long it should be, because, DRY

There's a lot of assumptions made when you do that kind of thing. For example, if a tune slows down to a stall, but you ignore the stall, you need to assume the playback speed is reset to some common value.

i would like to argue about this

My guess: there's an effect instruction to stall or halt progress. So I'm guessing it has that at 34s, but since the playback routine is provided an explicit time longer than that point, certain interpreter options are set which overlooks that instruction.

but WHY

necta knows stuff we don't, bc someone approved the 0'34 song, and put a longer duration, and it plays correctly

anyway. unless there's an internal loop in the patterning why would you only play the first one

"auto" is what you write when you're secretly sick of c++ but you hate all the other-- *cough*

aww "auto"

But there's one heck of a dive to figure that out.

I don't recommend it: https://github.com

yeah can't find it, scrolled off the recent songs

i just don't understand how it makes sense. in partic if the playlist says 0'34 that's not "fair" if the actual playback may continue to any unspecified time

doen't really matter on necta -- this tune was meant to contain several tunes from one game, seems to be ok once the duration was set (bc it just plays to that length)

libopenmpt

Maybe there's an option to control that. Which library does VLC use for mods?

and if it's meant to loop back to the start, then playing the extra stuff is incorrect behaviour anyway

but latset VLC wlil continue to play other patterns after the advertised time.

player should only look at the ones that WILL play, and predict that time

what confuses me is:

yeah i get the idea that you can block them because there is a sort of "program" in a module that says which ones to play, yes
