defMON (Page 9 of 28)

LET'S SYNC EVERYTHING!

Okay... so regarding the previous bugreport, I understand the fix is not happening, neither is any possible workaround meant to be shared, or what is the plan right now? I mean, some of you lived with the bug for 8 years now, so it would be extraordinarily awesome to know how to prevent this poo from happening. :-)

I started to use defMON recently, but I encountered a problem. Everything works fine until I come to the sequences that start with letters instead of numbers. Those sequences start to act wierd and hick up. I've noticed that they don't end with the two red dots that seems to be standard otherwise. Does someone have a clue to what could be the cause of this problem?

Thanks for the reply. Well, what I meant was that I can use the sequences from 01 to 09, but from 0A and upwards it starts to get messy. But today I discouvered that actually the red dots seems to be missing just by random. Anyhow, when the sequence list reach step 04 (containing sequence 0A) it starts to reapeat itself and then gets stuck on step 05 for some reason, doesn't seem to have anything to do with the red dots really. I post a link to a video of my messy project here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpn0shaYO3Q
Could it be some sort of bug? I am using an emulator on windows. The problem occurs on Vice aswell as on CCS64 so my guess is that it's not caused by the emulator software. By the way, Is there some meaning of the red dots?

Or I guess grab the latest version from here and see if the bug persists:

[edit] I added version 201711 ot the defmon wiki download page: http://toolsforscholars.com/defmon/doku … d:download

Pretty sure this version fixes that bug (and is the last non-experimental version that I know of)
It might not retroactively fix your song but like you said you can just add the pattern breaks to it.

Hey guys.. regarding that bug with sequence breaks that disappear in unused sequences if you save and then load a tune.. Try this version and see if it fixes your problems:

http://toolsforscholars.com/defmon-20171024.zip (EDIT: Use the link in the next post instead. This one will be removed.)

I did some changes to the worktune (un)packer code. If it works as intended, these changes to the code will not only avoid the problem in the future, but will also fix tunes with missing sequence breaks that were created in previous versions. Just go ahead and load your broken tunes in this version of defMON and see if they are magically healed. If it works, we can add it as a new version to the defMON wiki.

A word of caution: I didn't have time to test these changes to the code very thoroughly, so please save some backup version of your tunes before trying this version of defMON, in case the added code messes something up.

@Ett nytt liv: Good to see new defMON users. I think your problem relates to the missing sequence breaks (red dots). Looks like those were missing in all three sequences precisely at the place where defMON started behaving weirdly in your video.
