i had a huge overhaul to the mod*k Lyceum articles written and ready to go, and have now updated all of them with much more info under the "module optimization" section -- check it out! i hope my research comes in handy for this major!!

sorry to triple post lol but how is the voting going to work on this one? do voting periods for the previous format open up when we get a new format, like with advent? or voting at the end (i.e. open after 56 entries)?

this is a comment to save dami some boons for his next comment :)

dami, that lyceum article has the good nitty gritty. thank you

for example, i did not realize that IT compressed empty space better than XM

Don’t think I’ll make it sadly, I’ll be out of town at least during the 4K and possibly during the 8 also.

16k knows what it did

yo - it's worth updating to the new openmpt 1.31, btw, because it implements a new default "lossless IT sample compression" that reduces IT sample filesize. for example, the raw 04k bitpack goes from 4,317 bytes to 3,171 when re-saved with 1.31

notably, i think munch.py does this as part of its process when you run that - i tested it on an old and new copy of my WIP module and the size was exactly the same when munched - so i don't think it will affect a munched module, but it seems like a godsend otherwise

i think i am coming to enjoy this style of major (like advent calendar) over the long form ones - due to time availability - as this provides for me a more level playing field

if you voted on my entries and played them on anything else than NO INTERPOLATION i wld rly recommend you vote again.
i just checked some of my submissions with sinclp filter active and they all SOUND LIKE SHIT and like "i am new to mixing, part 1" wow

170827

i will keep in mind to specify this from now on.
i rly assumed it wld be common sense to use no extra interpolation on top when playing back entries (unless they hav it specified).

its like going into the ice cream shop and getting the nasty sprinkles on top even tho you never told the guy that you want them, but maybe thats how it works where youre from, damifortu
