This isn't used for the 3 action function calls because it requires an array allocation which would be a bit too costly for something as frequently called as action functions.
They will need a different approach.
Calling the old method with a pointer to an array of unspecified length 'dirty' would be an understatement.
Now it uses a TArray to store the single elements
Added full-panning stereo, improvement of channel management, and many other things.
Also, I have implemented an ability to use custom WOPL (for libADLMIDI) and WOPN (for libOPNMIDI) banks from the same path as "soundfonts", but also, in the same environment, the "fm_banks" folder was added for WOPL/WOPN storing purposes.
To toggle usage of embedded or custom bank, I have added togglable booleans. When bank fails to be loaded, the default embedded bank is getting to be used as fallback.
ADLMIDI 1.4.0 2018-10-01
* Implemented a full support for Portamento! (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added support for SysEx event handling! (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added support for GS way of custom drum channels (through SysEx events)
* Ignore some NRPN events and lsb bank number when using GS standard (after catching of GS Reset SysEx call)
* Added support for CC66-Sostenuto controller (Pedal hold of currently-pressed notes only while CC64 holds also all next notes)
* Added support for CC67-SoftPedal controller (SoftPedal lowers the volume of notes played)
* Fixed correctness of CMF files playing
* Fixed unnecessary overuse of chip channels by blank notes
* Added API to disable specific MIDI tracks or play one of MIDI tracks solo
* Added support for more complex loop (loopStart=XX, loopEnd=0). Where XX - count of loops, or 0 - infinite. Nested loops are supported without of any limits.
* Added working implementation of TMB's velocity offset
* Added support for full-panning stereo option (Thanks to [Christopher Snowhill](https://github.com/kode54) for a work!)
* Fixed inability to play high notes due physical tone frequency out of range on the OPL3 chip
OPNMIDI 1.4.0 2018-10-01
* Implemented a full support for Portamento! (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added support for SysEx event handling! (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added support for GS way of custom drum channels (through SysEx events)
* Ignore some NRPN events and lsb bank number when using GS standard (after catching of GS Reset SysEx call)
* Added support for CC66-Sostenuto controller (Pedal hold of currently-pressed notes only while CC64 holds also all next notes)
* Added support for CC67-SoftPedal controller (SoftPedal lowers the volume of notes played)
* Resolved a trouble which sometimes makes a junk noise sound and unnecessary overuse of chip channels
* Volume models support taken from libADLMIDI has been adapted to OPN2's chip speficis
* Fixed inability to play high notes due physical tone frequency out of range on the OPN2 chip
* Added support for full-panning stereo option
ADL&OPN Hotfix: re-calculated default banks
The fix on side of measurer of OPL3-BE and OPN2-BE where some instruments getting zero releasing time.
They would also pass the test if a menu just was open but not the actual invoker.
Also error out if this happens so that modders can see that they are doing unsupported things. Silent failure is not a good idea here.
This setup has been a constant source of problems so now I reviewed all uses of FName to make sure that everything that needs to be initialized is done manually.
This also merges the player_t constructor into the class definition as default values.
Like Linux and macOS this will only support borderless fullscreen in the active desktop resolution now, which is what modern systems need.
The list of discrete resolutions has been removed as it makes no sense anymore with a fixed video mode - all the other scaling options remain active, though.
Game code should never ever call the renderer directly. This must be done through the video interface so that it can also work with other framebuffers later.
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
