- Short: MUI-based module player
- Uploader: tsuikki@lut.fi
- Author: paporkka@freenet.hut.fi
- Type: mus/play
-
- D.A.S.ModulePlayer V2 has been written based on D.A.S.ModulePlayer V0-1.80
- (further on referred as DASMP)
-
- DASMP is a program for playing different moduletypes supported by several
- tracker programs. Originally DASMP was designed to play only PT/NT/ST
- modules, but for version 1.63 external player libraries were added.
- External player libraries weren't added to make player backward compatible
- but to make future compatible. If someone should make new tracker program
- with different/better modules type, it would be fairly simple to write
- supporting external player library for DASMP.
-
- Ultimate goal when developing DASMP is to make PRO - level module player,
- since there exists many moduleplayers, I wanted to make player for those
- who have hundreds of modules which needed to be handled efficiently without
- unnecessary limitations.
-
- For version 2.0 and above MagicUserInterface is used to create the GUI.
- A lot of rewriting was done, about 80 % of the code has been rewritten and
- HUGE amounts of new code has been added.
-
- Following is not the complete features list. Most of the features you can find
- by experimenting the player. Besides, I don't remember everything myself either.
-
- o MUI = Boopsi object oriented Graphical User Interface with
- some awesome features.
-
- o Unique Author based list handling/sorting system.
-
- o Basically ANY External archiver supported.
- - Multiple files within one archive supported.
- - XPK packer libraries supported.
-
- o All existing and future module types supported
- through External Player libraries.
- Already finished libraries:
- - QuadraComposer 2.0 EMOD modules. Most functions implemented.
- - (Octa)MED modules. 4 - 8 tracks. (dasMMD0.library)
- - DigitalSoundStudio tracker. (dasDSS0.library)
- - Experimental versions of FutureComposer players.
- (requested by Roger Martensson)
-
- o Unique active search system.
-
- o Sorting by
- - Name
- - Name reverse
- - Date
- - Date reverse
-
- o Several ways of keeping modulelist up to date.
- - Normal filerequester (multiple selections supported)
- - Arexx adding
- - Whole directory adding
- - List file load
- - Add update (only newer than specified date added)
- - Check for non existing modules.
-
- o High Configuratibility
-
- o Auto detaching when opened from CLI/Shell
-
- o Screen jumping to frontmost screen when hotkey'd.
-
- o Massive AREXX support.
-
- o Neat little quadrascope and dscope view.
- - Task priority for these is definable
- - Drawing speed is definable.
-
-
- o MUCH OPTIONS THAT I DON'T REMEMBER MYSELF EITHER.
