What's new in Morgul Player:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Version 1.10 07.09.94 12:38:06
ATTENTION!
I need a good MORGUL LOGO of 256 colors and resolution of
320x64. Do not use the 64 last colors, please! Use 0 for black
which gets flashed dark blue with the music, or make your own
black.
I was thinking of something like a nice scary drawing with
Barad-Dûr or something other Tolkienisque as the background and
the word Morgul somehow visible enough..
If you have already done something like that, just send me the
picture, give me the permission to use it and I'll try to handle
the picture to the right resolution and colors.
Notice!
I'd like some kind soul to put up a Morgul binary mailing list
for me. If you're interested, contact me at tnikkane@clinet.fi.
New features:
- I am now accepting CDs as VIP registration. There is a VIP
section in the regged.txt file for CD and money senders.
- The EASY filemode is now default, be warned!
- Added the Easymode option in the configfile.
- Added support for the HA archiver.
- Added a Morgul logo to the gfx mode.
- There is more free memory in shell.
- Online doc viewer (alt-h) and readme.exe are now much
smoother and better.
- Some stuff moved to overlay (at the end of mo.exe). Do not
fear the growing size; there IS more memory free because of
these actions, and the archive is about the same size,
except that the Morgul logo takes space..
- Added an option to start in graphics mode (StartInGraphics)
in the config file.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Version 1.01 - Fixed that nasty hangup bug 29.08.94 18:58:53
- Your feedback on the new colors is appreciated.
New features:
- The graphics mode is now Much Better.
- Added pattern skipping to the help viewer
- Added WAV format into instrument saving.
- Removed the useless GameOfLife screen saver since it occupied
space.. (and scared people :)
- Included a README.EXE for the document.
- ESC in graphics mode no longer exits the program..
Bugfixes:
- The nasty hangup bug which caused Morgul to hang on some
machines at startup is now hopefully gone once and for all.
- Lower-case module names are now accepted (another FUNNY bug
:). This fixes problems with Info-Zip, Unix/OS/2 archivers and
so on..
- Removed heap corruption problems in sample saving.
- Even smarter temp directory handling..
- The Out Of Memory problem when playing with effects is now
removed.
- A simple critical error handler is now implemented, so Morgul
will act nicer when you try to change to an invalid drive
(like if you don't have a floppy in A: and so on..)

Version 1.00 - First non-beta release 30.07.94 04:50:34
New features:
- Configuration file morgul.cfg. This file is not necessary for
the operation of Morgul, but if you need to change the default
values, you can use it.
- Added reverb and filter effects. Activate with Alt-F. See
morgul.cfg. Can be changed with -f parameter.
- Slight change in keys: N now goes to the next module, and
Enter and Space both tag/untag files and change
drives/directories.
- Much improved look and new volume bar system. And the flashing
box is gone.
- Added Drum Machine mode from Ctrl-D.
- Added UC2 support. Because of the oddiness of the UC2 format,
you MUST have uc.exe in your path so that Morgul can read the
contents of the archives; this is the only way to read UC2
archives.
- Scanning of UC2 files can be disabled in the configfile by
setting ScanUc2Files=Off.
- Added QuickMode setting into config file. With this switch,
you can disable the scanning of module files for songnames and
other info, which speeds up dir loading.
- Reduced memory consumption.
- Can now load up to 3000 file names, instead of the previous
446 file names. If somebody really has more than 3000 files in
one directory, he could drop me a line and I will push the
limit to 5000.
- S3M sample amount is shown, and MTM sample/pattern amount, at
last..
- Enter is now also accepted as an exit in many screens, so you
don't have to press ESC (which always has the danger of
exiting..)
- Much better message when no sound card found.
- Added option to hide the unarchiving output in morgul.cfg.
- Soundcard info shown at top screen, lowest line.
- Autogain for 16-bit sound cards
- Alt-4 changes the screen so that you see both the module and
file screen, partially.
- Current dir is shown at the bottom of file window.
- Buffer size is automatically set to fit current sound card
selection.
- Added Surround panning to the Ctrl-P panning setup screen.
Bugfixes:
- Helpviewer did not work without a mouse driver.
- Sample playing with other cards than GUS now works.
- Fixed lots of small, non-fatal bugs which I don't care to
mention here.
- Fixed amplify bug.
- Improved unarchiving logic.
- Fixed small bug in ARJ file handling which caused Morgul to
skip archives on rare occasions.
- The -n default panning switch now works.
- Less UltraClicks
- Fixed tremolo
- New DMA download for GUS
- SB,GUS and WSS bugs fixed
- Now you can use mixing rates >32767hz (damn _signed_
integers :)
