Description:
HivelyTracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid ’90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss.
AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga. Hively Tracker is released for AmigaOS 4.0, AmigasOS 3.1 and AROS!

Changes since 1.5:

* Right since 1.0, the EDx command was broken! Fixed.

* The range check on Cxx commands was broken. Fixed.

* Now strips the upper nibble of 4xx instrument commands when loading a “THX\0″ file. AHX always did this since the introduction of filters (THX\1), but AFAIK WinAHX and its derivatives never did.

This is old news, but we didn’t post about it here yet, and Hively Tracker 1.6 is coming up, so we wanted to set the records straight.

1.5 18-Aug-2008
===============

- A parameter in the undo system was declared as a signed byte instead
of a signed word, which meant that some song parameters got corrupted
when they went over 127. Editing songs over 127 positions long was
buggered, for example. Can’t believe i didn’t spot this until now
- Added Protracker mod import. Just like the one in AHX, it simply strips
out all PT commands that are not equivalent to AHX ones, and all
instruments are set to a simple tone, so you’ll still have a lot of
work to do to make it sound nice.
- Added a size optimisation feature. It removes all unused instruments,
and duplicate tracks. If you click with the right mousebutton, it’ll
additionally try and use the transpose column to remove tracks which
are the same but transposed. However it doesn’t know if sounds
continue after the newly transposed track so you may have to manually
fix any problems with that afterwards. Both modes keep the original
version and open a new tab with the optimise version so you won’t
lose your work if it messes up. Both modes also use track 0 as the
empty track as AHX and HVL both make smaller files if that is the
case, however, if there are no empty tracks in the module, it won’t
keep track 0 blank unnecessarily.
- Added a new command! When “EF1″ is placed on or after the last note
in a track, the “transpose” value for that channel will be preserved
until another note is played in the channel. This overrides the
default AHX/HVL behaviour, which is to switch to the next transpose
value as soon as the next position is reached.
- ‘=’ now does row preview, like enter does in protracker
- ‘-’ now toggles horizontal advance in the position editor
- Added “posedadvance”, “notejump” and “inotejump” fields to the
ht.prefs file. They don’t show up in the prefs window, though, so
you have to edit them manually (run hively 1.5 and quit it to make
them show up in the file). “posedadvance” is either 0 or 1. When set
to 0, horizontal advance is disabled by default.
“defnotejump” is 0 to 9, and sets the default notejump in the pattern
editor. “definotejump” is the same for the instrument editor.

1.4 24-Aug-2007
===============

- Playback no longer stops when the “Load Mod” filerequester is open
- Undo & Redo for almost all edit operations
- Cutting an area in the position editor cleared both columns of
the left & right edges even if they weren’t selected. Fixed.
- Cutting or pasting in the position editor didn’t update the
track editor even if the current tracks were changed by the
operation. Fixed.
- If you change preference options that require the GUI to be closed
and re-opened, it now does that instead of requiring you to quit
and restart.
- Skin directory, initial song directory and initial instrument
directory options all now can be selected via ASL directory requester.
- Right-clicking on a channel mute button now mutes all other channels
except that channel. If it is already the only un-muted channel,
all channels will be unmuted instead (suggested by Syphus).
- Added “9xx” panning command to the instrument performancelist. It
only changes the panning position for that specific instrument. The
next time an instrument is played in that channel, it returns to
the last panning position set with the traditional “7xx” track
command.
- Pasting or marking blocks in the position editor didn’t work
correctly if channel 1 wasn’t the leftmost channel. Fixed.
- Pressing Ctrl+B while marking a block now cancels block marking
instead of resetting the mark position.
- Added a drumpad mode, selectable either by the funky new on/off
gadget or via the backslash key. When enabled, selecting instruments
via numeric keyboard causes them to be played, and if edit mode is
set, the instrument is inserted into the song. Suggested by Syphus.
- Changed the release cut gadget from a 0/1 number gadget to the funk-
tastic new on/off gadget (W00T!!111)
- Fixed a bug in the command line replayer that was really dumb and
should have been spotted ages ago! Oops.
- Before, if a skin directory existed, and the logo bitmap existed
in that directory, but there was any other file missing, hively would
bomb out instead of reverting to the default skin and retrying. Now
if a skin fails to load for any reason, hively retries with the
default skin (SIDMonster-Light). This allows hively to load even
if ht.prefs contains an invalid skin (such as SIDMonster-Heavy,
which has been discontinued from 1.4 onwards).
- Fixed an incorrect pointer in the autogain routine
