RKGames Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Quick update. I spent 6+ hours this weekend on CV Tracker! Fixing lots of little bugs and making it more stable for it's beta release. By next weekend for sure, good or bad, there will be a beta available to all who want it!!!!! I will also likely release a few short youtube tutorials on the key functions so everyone can jump in and know what the heck i was thinking when i coded this app. Thanks for all who have been waiting for this, but you will have your chance to play by next weekend Take care, Russ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKGames Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 SO DARN CLOSE!!!! I'm really close to releasing a CV Tracker beta and found a few little things i need to add into CV Tracker for a nice stable build! I spent the last 2 nights looking/tracing an annoying bug, but finally just got it fixed just minutes ago! Got 1 bug left and it's beta time! I truly worked hard to get it out this weekend, but will likely have to wait till late this upcoming week or next weekend to release the beta. Soon, really i mean it!!!! Most notably, i got unique instrument volume effects working that can not be assigned to any of the notes on any sound channel! No more hand coding volume sweeps and effects by hand one note at a time, just create the volume instrument and assign it to the note or channel and done. you can instantly change how a whole song sounds with just a few clicks.

ten-four Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Russ. Great work you have put into this project. I believe that you will make a lot of programmers happy with your project. Nice work Russ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKGames Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 OK, the moment some of you have been waiting for! CV Tracker Beta v1.20b is NOW AVAILABLE!!! visit my website at http://skyrank.com/c.../cvtracker.html Keep in mind this is an incomplete beta, but will allow you to compose, load,save and playback! so it does have enough in there to actually create some nice music! There are lots of things i need to add, but i wanted to share this version so get some people started composing! Windows XP and Windows 7 only. Sorry, but please dont ask for mac / linux versions as i'm not sure if i'll get around to them. This has already taken half a year to code in my spare time and i need to get back to game coding soon! I can not wait to hear what some of you will create with this. PLEASE post your .CVT song files on here or message me them to share your creations! Colecovision data format export is NOT available yet, this is the next big part to tackle! you can load and save to the .CVT format with no problems, so you will not loose your work! I'm hoping to post a few youTube video training tutorials in the next few nights to help show how the functions work! if you load the included demo songs and play around with them, it should start to give you a feel for how the tools work! Take care and enjoy! Russ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colecomusic Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Russ, I got this problem during the installation. I Installed SlimDX then I ran setup.exe of the CV Tracker but this message appeared (I translate it) "Can not download the application. Missing files needed for the application. Please contact the application provider for assistance" Please help! I am using Windows XP Thanks! I am very excited about the fact that finally I'll be able to make music truly in a Coleco Vision Love Pavlov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroillucid Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I should have mentioned that I tested on 2 XP pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKGames Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I should have mentioned that I tested on 2 XP pc I did find one mistake in my install instructions! you must download the SlimDX Developer SDK. it's on the same page as the link on my site points to, but instead of clicking on the first orange "Get the Latest Release" you must click on the second one to get the SDK version. install with all default settings! BUT FIRST, UNINSTALL THE FIRST VERSION OF SLIMDX!!! just use remove programs from the windows control panel. let me know how that goes! I was successful in uninstalling and reinstalling from ONLY the files on my site with no issues! I'm going to try on my win xp machine again Russ Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very excited about the fact that finally I'll be able to make music truly in a Coleco Vision Love Pavlov Pavlov, I made a mistake and said you need to download the wrong version of slimDX. I just a few hours ago updated my website to say you need to click on the second orange "Get the latest release" button on the slimDX site. you need to download the developers SDK version of slimDX on that same page. Let me know if that works for you! I'm running into issues with installing CV Tracker on my winXP PC for some reason! I've been researching all night. Works great on my two Windows 7 PC's!

RKGames Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 If anyone has luck with a working install of CV Tracker on windows XP let me know! follow the revised install instructions on my site http://skyrank.com/cvtracker/cvtracker.html Sorry for all the inconvenience on this everyone! Also if anyone has a successful win7 install let me know as well! I have it running just fine on 2 win7 PC's and had it running just fine on my XP pc until i uninstalled and reinstalled direct X.
