Feature Request: Support UGE version 6 #1221

Open sttng opened 2 years ago

sttng commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm using the latest release of hUGETracker and created some song. When I try to use it in GBStudio 3.1 I get Error: UGE version 6 is not supported by GB Studio

Describe the solution you'd like I hope UGE version 6 songs to be supported.

Describe alternatives you've considered I guess I could convert songs to a lower UGE version.

As stated in the release notes for hUGEtracker 1.0b10, https://github.com/SuperDisk/hUGETracker/releases/tag/1.0b10

UGE files generated with this version cannot be loaded by GB Studio 3.1. Be aware of this before composing! If you want to make songs for GB Studio, until they update to support this version, use their built in music editor, or hUGETracker 1.0b9.

The new sub pattern per instrument driver of hUGE is not supported in gbstudio, (and we're kind of dreading how to add that to the built in editor) I'm not sure how long it will take for the uge parser to work with this new data, even 3.0 was deleting noise macros for a while. I would advise editing in 1.0b9 for now.

If you mean to support it in the built-in GB Studio editor, I'm not sure you need to do that. After all, GBStudio also doesn't incorporate a full fledged PNG (or Tile/Sprite) Editor. Just to support the binary file format would be ok.
