Subject: Skeleton Swing from Assembly 2007 problem with UADE

I noticed the #3 placed song from Assembly 2007 oldskool music compo, Skeleton Swing, doesn't play very well with UADE (2.09). Or at least it sounds very different from the included mp3 version. Modplug and MikMod sound about the same as the mp3.

The song's available at [url]ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/parties/2007/assembly07/oldskool/music/skeleton_swing_by_inphernic.zip[/url]

Indeed, it sounds very different. The major problem seems to be in the protracker replayer. Could you contact the author of the module and ask which tracker was used to compose that song? This might not be a bug, but an unsupported tracker. Unfortunately, mods do not come with proper ID tags that could be used to determine the tracker.

I asked the author about compability, and he told me that it isn't compatible with Amiga trackers. So the case is closed. It's not a bug.

Thanks for letting me know about the problem. I've fixed the compatilibity issues and uploaded a second version to my site.

Thanks! (For others, it can be downloaded from:
http://inphernic.duckiehorde.net/index.php?page=3 )

The new version plays. I assume it is designed to be played with
A1200 filter. You can make it always play with a1200 filter automatically by issuing:

uade123 --set=a1200 sswing2.mod

See ~/.uade2/song.conf after that..
