| Readme: | Short: Updated HippoPlayer
Author: kpk@iki.fi (K-P Koljonen)
Uploader: kpk iki fi (K-P Koljonen)
Type: mus/play
Version: 2.50
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 1.2
Hello!
Here you will find binaries with changes done after the original
development stopped.
To use, copy the files over the files that you have from an existing
installation. Check out aminet for the original package:
https://aminet.net/mus/play/hippoplayer.lha
Or, just copy HiP somewhere and "HippoPlayer.group" to S:, then run
HiP. That should work if you have the "reqtools.library" installed.
NOTE 1: The original archive is in its original state. There is no
updated documentation. Please read the change history below.
NOTE 2: Ensure that "HippoPlayer.group" gets updated, as old versions will
not work. The default placement is the S: directory, which is a bit silly
(location can be changed in Prefs). You can also place the file in the
same directory with the HiP binary, too, if you're using kick2.0 or newer.
NOTE 3: If you get errors where some module is not recognized even
if it should be, try removing "S:HippoPlayer.prefs" first.
NOTE 4: Too long didn't read
- Prefs options: "Button tooltips", "Favorite modules", "Keep list on exit"
- Button above the file slider
- Improved patternscope
- New music formats

# Changes from v2.49 (29.11.2021) to v2.50 (31.12.2021)
## New fixes:
- There was a bug in the sample player (which also plays MP3) in AHI
compatibility. It could hang when playback was stopped.
This happened especially when using AHI with the Toccata driver.
Should work now.
- Another different possible AHI related hang bug fixed which could
happen when pausing playback.
- When the play mode was set to "List repeatedly" and the list was full
of dividers (a.k.a. directories), Hippo could get stuck trying to find
a module to be played. This should be fixed now.
- Possible hang/crash bug (related to a stray audio interrupt) fixed
in Ben Daglish and Kris Hatlelid formats.
## New supported music formats:
- Impulse Tracker, using the "Impulse" deliplayer, written by the
Delirium team for DeliTracker.
- Impulse plays IT formats v1.00 and v2.00. Newer formats are not supported.
- Impulse supports pattern skip forwards and back, along with song
end detection. Song position display is not supported.
- 32 channels are in use in all modules. This is due to the way
IT modules work, channels are used dynamically according to
whatever is needed at the moment.
- Modules can be played using the PS3M mixing engine or AHI.
- Stereo scope works with PS3M.
- Channel panning is not supported, each channel has a fixed
stereo position.
- Requires 68020 or better.
- Impulse is not included in the HippoPlayer.group file,
so Hippo will look for it in the following places:
"PROGDIR:", "PROGDIR:eagleplayers", "eagleplayer2:eagleplayers".
Here "PROGDIR:" is the directory where the Hippo binary is installed.
- Impulse can be found in the Aminet DeliTracker archive.
## New features:
- There is a new list mode which can be toggled by the button on
top of the file slider: file browser. The list modes now are:
- Playlist (list icon)
- Favorites (heart icon)
- File browser (disk icon)
- File browser mode:
- In this mode the list displays contents of directories.
- Directories are entered by the "Play" button, return/enter key,
or LMB double click. (Note that double click can
be enabled/disabled in Prefs.)
- The topmost list item shows the name of the displayed directory.
Activating it goes back to the parent directory.
- Files are filtered using the configured match pattern,
see "Prefs/Loading/File Match Pattern" (kick2.0+ only).
- If you have enabled "Keep list on exit", Hippo will return to the
directory where you left off if you were in the file browser mode
when exiting.
- New keyboard shortcuts:
- List mode toggle: [SHIFT+M]
- Navigate to parent in file browser: [BACKSPACE]
## New ARexx commands (for HippoPlayerIR support):
- TOGGLEMODE: change between list modes
- FAVORITE: toggle chosen module favorite status
## Known issues:
- Same as with v2.49
## Thanks for beta testing go to:
- Spot/UpRough
- Marek Hac

# Changes from v2.48 (31.10.2021) to v2.49 (29.11.2021)
It's the pattern party edition!
## New fixes:
- The font selector in Prefs had a proper bug that made it ignore user
selected font received from the font requester. The default font
therefore could not be changed, until now. Note: Hippo accepts
8x8 fixed fonts only.
- Fix the case where the scope window is sometimes left too tall.
- When starting with empty list in random mode, ensure that the first
module being played is actually random and not the first one.
- Do not draw the new list mode change button if it doesn't fit,
removing the visual glitch when window is minified with RMB+Pr.
- A possible hang during stopping of playback fixed. This happened
when AHI was enabled and a non-Paula AHI mode was active.
- P96 multi screen fix: when scope if manually reactivated by LMB click,
this will be remembered until app is closed.
- "Rob Hubbard 2/Infogrames" format was probably not working,
should be ok now.
## New features:
- Patternscope support added to the following formats:
- Art Of Noise (4 channels)
- BP SoundMon v2, v3 (Note and sample transposes are not shown)
- ChipTracker (eagleplayer)
- Digital Mugician (eagleplayer)
- Digital Mugician 2 (7 channels, eagleplayer)
- FastTracker (FM, multichannel)
- FastTracker 2 (XM, multichannel)
- Future Composer v1.0-v1.4 (Note and sample transposes are not shown)
- Game Music Creator
- JamCracker
- MultiTracker (MTM, multichannel)
- Oktalyzer (4-8 channels)
- Scream Tracker 3 (S3M, multichannel)
- SoundFX
- StarTrekker
- TCBTracker (eagleplayer)
- The Musical Enlightenment (eagleplayer)
- Patternscope notes
- Patternscope is able to display 4-18 channels side by side in both
normal height and double height (XL) mode. The 18 channel wide scope
window just fits into a 640 pixel wide screen. Channels over 18
will not be shown.
- Normal configured font is used when there are 4-8 channels to be displayed.
For over 8 channels a smaller font is used, and needs to be installed in
FONTS:, called "mini4", available on aminet:
https://aminet.net/text/bfont/mini.font.lha
- Playing a 8+ channel module takes some CPU power and not much
is left for the patternscope in low power systems. The scope display
is also more CPU+Blitter intensive the more channels there are to
be shown. I had some fun optimizing it, though! This includes my
personal first use of binary coded decimals :-)
- A500 can handle Oktalyzer modules with Patternscope, but struggles
with PS3M (as usual). A1200 should generally perform ok.
- New Prefs setting: "Keep list on exit". This enables the following:
- Module list will be saved on exit and restored when Hippo is started again.
- Last chosen module is selected and played, if it was playing.
- File requester path that was last used to add files to
the list will be used the next time file requester is opened.
## Music format related fixes
- Volume support added for PSID tunes. These are played by the
playsid.library which now gets a live patch to allow volume
control.
- ScreamTracker3 (S3M) replayer would crash when attempting
to play some modules that had an unexpected sample set up.
Some fixes were made to avoid crashing.
- Digital Mugician upgraded to Wanted Team eagleplayer ("mugician.amp").
Supports subsongs, pattern skipping, patternscope.
- David Whittaker upgraded to Wanted Team eagleplayer ("david whittaker").
Compared to previous this one has better support for different variants,
volume and songend support.
## New Eagleplayer formats, plugin name in parentheses:
- Special FX ("special fx")
- Eagleplayer by Wanted Team
- Jason Page ("jason page")
- Eagleplayer by Wanted Team
- Steve Turner ("steve turner")
- "Paradroid 90"
- Eagleplayer by Wanted Team
## Known issues:
- Sometimes after the scope window has resized the right side of the
window frame is not refreshed properly. Activating the window
repaints the window border again.
- Sonic Arranger module "svensktoppen" may cause a crash.
- Oktalyzer module "1 love night dub.okta" may cause a crash.
- There are some invalid S3M modules around with an uneven
length orders table. These will crash Hippo.

# Changes from v2.47 (31.8.2021) to v2.48 (31.10.2021)
In this episode, we will be trying to play them all!
## New fixes:
- File and directory scan was refactored and is now much more robust.
This fixes some bugs caused by very long path names and
some other corner cases, such as uncommon directory types.
Subdirectories will also be added in alphabetical order.
Thanks to Zoltar of the English Amiga Board for reporting
a nasty bug and testing a bunch of desperate fixes.
- Fix crash caused by a devious ProTracker module "Sunday Hangover" by
Skope/UpRough. The modules uses the "EFF" command without a sample,
which is unexpected. Also crashes ProTracker v2.3d and other apps.
- After playing a DeliCustom type module and then trying to play a
XPK/PP/FImp/XFD compressed module lead to the new module being recognized
as DeliCustom even if it wasn't, which lead to all kinds of bad things.
- Fixed the case where favorites were not saved if the user exited while
being in the favorites view.
- If the XFDMaster library was enabled, DeliCustom modules were not
recognized.
- For lists with only list dividers the selection would sometimes
go looping around the list and never stopping, making Hippo
unresponsive.
- A new method of calculating the window bar height is now used.
This should fix the VisualPrefs related bug where adjusting
window and screen title bar heights caused Hippo to add extra
vertical space at the top part of the window.
- Fixed the random generator bug where the first value was not random.
In random play mode this could result to the same first module
being player every time.
- Clearing the favorites list with RMB+New didn't work, now does.
- The sampleplayer had a nasty bug that probably made it not work
at all on kickstart 1.3 in most cases. There was an unnecessary
file seek operation done on an invalid file handle, which, at least
for me, crashed on kick1.3 and didn't crash on kick3.0. Now works.
Sidenote: I'm a little bit impressed how capable the sampleplayer is,
it handles CD-quality WAVs on 68000 nicely. The code though is quite
horrible to look at :-)
- A few other minor issues fixed.
## New features:
- Patternscope XL, with twice the amount of rows.
It is available in Prefs with the other scopes.
Generally patternscope should use less CPU now, due to some
optimizations.
- Dual monitor support is now possible with P96. In such case
Hippo may think the scopes are invisible and stop updating them.
Clicking the left mouse button in the scope window will
reactivate the scope.
- Limited Eagleplayer plugin support. Hippo is now able to use
some eagleplayers for music playback. A set of Hippo compatible
eagleplayers have been fetched from Aminet and included in the
group file. See below for more info.
- The "HippoPlayer.group" file, which is basically a compressed
random access file archive, on kick2.0 or newer,
is now searched first from PROGDIR:, then the default (or configured)
location. Therefore it can be kept alongside the main Hippo binary.
- NOTE! The group file is now larger than before. It's a good idea
on low memory systems to set the group mode to "Load single"
in "Prefs/Play-1/Mode", so that individual replayers are loaded
when needed instead of keeping the whole file in memory.
- Group file data compression was changed from File Imploder to
Shrinkler by Blueberry as an experiment. Much better compression
ratio, slower decompression.
- Info window will now show who created the replay code for the
current format, and information retrieved from the active eagleplayer
plugin.
## Music format related fixes
- Improved JamCracker support: added volume control and position/length info.
- Also fixed an annoying audible *BEEP* once in a while.
(Empty sample data was not in chip mem, my fault.)
- FutureComposer (both old and new formats) now support position/length info.
FC1.4 replayer changed to another and a modified a bit,
hopefully now works better with "rsi theme.fc".
- Oktalyzer now also has position/length info and can be paused, which
previously wasn't possible.
- Improved Art of Noise (4 channels) support as well: added position/length
info, song end detection, fast forwarding. Also uses Hippo timers now.
- Similar *BEEP* bug fixed here as with JamCracker.
## New music formats:
- PreTracker by Pink/aBYSs. Very noice! Samples are generated during
initialization which may take some time especially on slow CPUs.
- SonicArranger
- Now supports more variants, previously only the compact form was
supported. Adaptation based on Wanted Team sources.
- There is still one variant (at least) that is not supported.
- CustomMade
- "Battle Squadron"
- Songs composed by Ron Klaren. Adaptation based on Wanted Team sources.
- Dave Lowe
- Just wanted to hear Hippo play the "International Karate+" title music.
- Adaptation based on Wanted Team sources.
- DeliTracker Custom format improvements, adds support for modules
with external samples:
- SUNTronic modules (from SUNTronicTunes.lha). Smooth!
Check out "spring.src", this uses the Paula FM/AM channel modulation
feature, which is very rarely heard.
Google for "SUNTronicTunes.lha" to get all SUNTronic tunes,
adapted by Peter Kunath of the DeliTracker team.
- ModsAnthology/Synth/Custom/CUST.Lemmings now works, too.
- GlueMon (properly retro sound)
- Tunes from Mahoney & Kaktus music disk "His Master's Noise".
- SoundFX (some nice ones in there)
- Listen to "waterfall.sfx"
- StarTrekker AM (pretty crunchy)
- Audio Sculpture modules are also recognized as StarTrekker modules.
The replay routine is almost identical, but not quite,
so may not play perfectly.
- Recommended listen (since M.U.L.E. rules): "the-real-mule2.mod"
- Voodoo Supreme Synthesizer
- An obscure synth format.
- Based on eagleplayer by Buggs/DEFECT. Some bug fixing was needed for
this, plenty of illegal memory reads were happening.
## Supported Eagleplayer formats, plugin name in parentheses:
- SynTracker ("syntracker")
- Eagleplayer by Eagleeye/DEFECT
- AProSys ("aprosys")
- Original sounding synth tunes.

- Seven voices.
- Eagleplayer by Wanted Team
- StoneTracker ("eaglestone")
- One of the newer 4-8 channel Amiga trackers.
- These don't work on kick1.3 and/or 68000.
- To play these, additional libraries are needed in LIBS:
- stoneplayer.library, stonepacker.library
- These can be found in the StoneTracker aminet archive.
- These modules have a separate sample data file which needs to be
correctly named for the eagleplayer to find it, by prepending "sps."
to the sample file name.
Example:
- Module name: "spm.hypnosphere"
- Sample file: "sps.hypnosphere"
- Eagleplayer by Emmanuel Marty, one of the authors of StoneTracker
- MusicMaker V8 ("musicmaker4", "musicmaker8")

- "Test Drive II"
- Eagleplayer by Wanted Team
- Tim Follin ("tim follin ii")
- "Ghouls 'n' Ghosts"
- Eagleplayer by Andy Silva and Buggs/DEFECT
## Misc
- In the original hippo release, in the HippoSupport folder, there is a
tool called "TerminateHiP". This is no longer compatible with Hippo.
Instead, an AREXX script such as the following should work:
rx "address hippoplayer ; quit"
## Tips
- A nice place for exotic modules is the FTP server Modland.
- Another place to check is the Wanted Team web page.
## Thanks and greetings to:
- Spot/UpRough for beta testing and music format related assistance.
- Marek Hac for beta testing.
- Wanted Team for Eagleplayer resources.
- Authors of all the included eagleplayers, I hope you don't mind!

# Changes from v2.46b (15.6.2021) to v2.47 (31.8.2021)
Here's another version, since Amiga is fun :-) In this one: new exotic
music formats, favorite modules feature, enhanced kickstart 1.3
support, some fixes. Check out the details below.
## New fixes:
- Fixed two serious crash bugs introduced in v2.46b. When starting to play the
next module (especially by double clicking) Hippo could get confused
and crash. These problems were very likely to happen especially on OS 3.2.
- Tooltip fixes for buttons *Del*, *Pr*. Also increase tooltip delay a
little bit.
- Fix the case where HiP is given modules without absolute path via
command line or via icon launch (eg. *DefIcons*), and the added
files can't be opened. Now works.
- Another relative vs. absolute path fix. When adding files so that
the filerequester path is relative it could be that Hippo was not
able to open the added files.
That is, a file was added with path "Modules/DrAwesome/mod.bud peculiar"
instead of "dh0:Modules/DrAwesome/mod.bud peculiar".
- The default unzip command in prefs was changed to *c:unzip >nil: -jo "%s"*,
this allows opening zipped modules where the module is within a subdirectory.
Previously such modules would not be found from the zip file.
- In Prefs the MPEGA settings were reported to display garbage at times, I
wasn't able to reproduce this but some additional checks were added,
maybe they will help.
## New (very old) known bugs:
- _VisualPrefs_ tool can be used to adjust window bottom and top
border, and window and screen title bar heights. Hippo can get
confused and displays some extra vertical space below the window title
bar when these are adjusted.
## New supported music formats:
- Medley Sound and Future Player
- The author of these and the superb Imploder themes
Paul van der Valk has recently passed away. His sound was truly unique!
- Future Player replayer adapted from Wanted Team EaglePlayer sources.
- Medley Sound replayer ripped from Imploder 4.
- Ben Daglish
- Also adapted from EaglePlayer sources by Wanted Team.
- DeliTracker Custom
- There are hundreds of these modules available, with varying
quality. Many modules work fine but some behave badly. They may do
illegal memory accesses or crash speactacularly. The same happens
also when played with DeliTracker.
- One version of _Lemmings_ tries to do file accesses to load
separate sample files, this is not supporte by Hippo and will
probably crash.
- A few modules do not get recognized as the important bits are not
close enough to the start of the file.
- Minor issue: Some modules display the subsong range in the
titlebar so that the first song is #2 instead of #1.
- Beathoven Synthesizer
- Game Music Creator (Jumping Jack'Son!)
- Digital Mugician 1
- PumaTracker
- SidMon 2 (SidMon 1 is already supported)
- Delta Music 1 (Delta Music 2 is already supported)
## New features:
- _Prefs_ option for toggling button tooltips on and off. By default it is on.
- Support for _gzipped_ archives. You need to have a working
gzip-application in path. (This was once supported but was removed
at some point.)
- Recursive subdirectory scan when adding modules is now supported on
kickstart 1.3. Previously only the top level files of the selected
directories were added.
This has only worked on kickstart 2.0 or newer until now, due to the
usage of a kickstart 2.0 DOS-library specific function. This
function was reimplemented using available kick 1.3 methods.
- New ARexx commands *CHOOSEPREV* and *CHOOSENEXT*. These work
similarly as when the user presses arrow up and down to choose a
module in the list. *GET VERS* command returns the app version. *GET
VOLU* returns the current volume setting.
- Favorite modules! You can now right click on a module to favorite
it. Favorite modules are displayed in bold font. To view the
favorites, there's a new button on top of the filebox slider gadget
to click. It switches between normal listview and favorites view.
Favorites are automatically saved after the user has been idle for a while,
or when exiting the program, to file "S:HippoFavorites.prg". This is
a normal module program file.
To enable this feature toggle the _Favorite modules_ switch on the
_General_ subpage in prefs. This feature probably doesn't make any
sense if you are using floppies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Changes from v2.45 (10.1.2000) to v2.46b (15.6.2021)
There was an actual user request (by daxb) in the English Amiga Board
a few years back to remove the module list size restriction.
This turned out to be a fun challenge. The code assumed
the module list index to be a positive 16-bit number, and
also used the same index with some magic values to mean
a few things. There were a lot of places to change to make this work.
The restriction is now at 0x1ffff (131071), which is a crazy amount.
Such a large list eats a lot of memory and is quite slow to
process, as it is a doubly linked list. List iteration
operations needed some optimization to be usable on an A500.
(Next challenge: get rid of the linked list approach.)
Random play bookkeeping previously worked only for lists of up
to 8192 (0x1fff) modules, this limit is now removed as well.
I decided to challenge myself with some UI changes. The main window
buttons are quite cryptic with both left and right mouse button actions,
which I have conveniently forgot about. I implemented a modern feeling
tooltip which will pop up a helpful text for each button.
Maybe this is the first tooltip on kick1.3?
Right clicks on the buttons don't really work like
left clicks. I don't know why the past-me left them like that,
they're ugly and non-user friendly that way. I changed
the buttons to have a proper visualization for right clicks as well.
I also added a few wait pointers to places with long running operations.
Another thing that motivated me to do some hippo coding was the realization
that the multitasking approaches used in HiP are bad.
At the time I had no idea about thread safe programming. This could
lead to some random crashes at times due to bad luck with timing.
Exec provides semaphores to protect shared data,
so these were added to a lot of places. Some safety regarging
interrupts relying on some data was also added.
External applications using the HippoPort still use all data freely.
## Fixes:
- Extraneous requester pop up removed when loading TFMX modules.
- Fixed a case where unpacked modules were not identified as modules, or
a non-module file was identified as a valid module (due to badly initialized
memory).
- A memory leak removed from the file requester.
- Memory usage is lowered in several situations:
- Random play bookkeeping now uses a dynamically allocated table.
- Each modulelist entry is now about 30 bytes smaller, for 1000
modules that means memory savings of about 30 kB! :-)
- Unnecessary library loading removed from startup. This also speeds
up starting on slow machines.
- Improved stability
- Starting and stopping playback and loading modules like a crazy
person is now not so prone to crashing. This is achieved by
adding exclusive access checks to module data and module list in
several places (see above).
- Other general bad behaviour removed from many places, not directly
visible to user.
- May survive low memory situations better when loading module
programs or adding files.
- A bunch of smaller fixes, such as enforcer hit removals at a few places.
- Code refactoring! It's still quite a mess in many places.
