How to change music in PrBoom?

I want to use the same MP3 for 2 different maps.
But I conanot figure out where/ how to do this.

I have replaced the midi (with the Mp3 with the same name) for the first map. This works, but how do I set it for the second map (without including the same MP3 twice)?

thanks.

Alternatively, you can use the music changer thing.

and wait 30 tics before music will be changed after level start :)

That's because d_runnin/d_stalks are empty midies in vg.wad

I am not inexperienced with dehacked, but I don't understand what:

Text 6 6
stalksrunnin

means, and how that would change the selection of music tracks.


Can you give me some more explanation please...

thanks.

A better way to change music tracks in BOOM ports is putting a MUSIC section in the dehacked file, for example:

[MUSIC]
ROMERO = RUNNIN
RUNNIN = STALKS
STALKS = ROMERO

The other way that entryway posted is the only way to do it with vanilla DOOM.EXE, and it works by text substitution (changing "stalks" to "runnin" in the EXE). That way is less readable and limits what you can do.

Ok, I get it now :-)

thanks everyone!

Oh great, now we'll have "Boom compatible" wads meant to change the music at every turn.

Haven't played through Voodoo Guns yet? :p
