Darkpaul Posted December 31, 2003 Playing through the N64 tc of Doom, it made me think of the music. Is there a way to change music and make it play the better stuff in the game? Like the n64 tracks or better doom mixes? 0 Share this post Link to post

Darkpaul Posted January 1, 2004 Is there a way to play better quality songs, though? Like mp3's or something? Those are probably nice, but just midis, aren't they? 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, the sets in that directory will undoubtedly be midi-type tracks. If you want to use MP3's, you'll have to use JDoom or ZDoom (those are the only ones I know of that support MP3). You can find MP3 sets for JDoom if you search around on Google. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted January 1, 2004 You can also find a couple of sets on Doomworld's Music Remix page. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted January 1, 2004 You're playing the Doom64 TC - right? Pretty sure there was 2 additional downloads available for it. Hi quality MP3 versions of the D64 music in a WAD and lower quality versions of the same for people with slow connections. I know that's what I've been using with the TC anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ubik Posted January 3, 2004 How do I assemble mp3s in a WAD to use in Doom? I want to do something with the music from the Metal Slug games :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ed Posted January 3, 2004 Load the mp3 as a data lump in Wintex, say, demo1, rename to the appropriate song name, 'D_RUNNIN' for example. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ubik Posted January 3, 2004 Never mind, I got it :) I'm working on a WAD for the Doom2 music, and then I might do one for Doom eventually. :D (although I should really reduce them from 192 quality before putting them in the WAD, that'll just make it too big. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ubik Posted January 3, 2004 OK, I finished making the music WAD for Doom2! :D Now, seeing as the music is entirely from other sources, and the WAD itself is 50MB worth of mp3s (I wanted to keep the original sound instead of using MIDIs :P ), is it possible to release it on newstuff, or the archives at least? I don't have enough space to host it on my webspace here.... Ah well. It was mostly meant for personal use anyway. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Tolwyn Posted January 8, 2004 I've been using Jdoom pretty much exclusively. Not that I'm against any other source port, it's really just a matter of time and taste, to be perfectly honest. Jdoom supports PK3 files, which is just an uncompressed ZIP file renamed, and I've been using those to add new music (mp3, ogg, etc) while I play. Mostly my older "remixed" stuff and Klems, which were available on MP3.com before they went tits up. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkpaul Posted January 9, 2004 That's great, guys. I learned a little from jdoom that I could redirect where it should play the song on my harddrive, which is great. But how do you get it to play .wad files in jdoom? 0 Share this post Link to post
Tolwyn Posted January 9, 2004 Not sure I understand. Using KickStart (a great front end... remember DM.exe for dos? :) ) Just add PWADS with that. or, the jdoom -game doom2 -file {path}\somewad.wad 0 Share this post Link to post
Ubik Posted January 10, 2004 In case anybody wants to try out that Metal Slug music WAD: http://s93011332.onlinehome.us/metalslg.zip :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkpaul Posted January 10, 2004 Oh, sure. Kickstart is...frankly godly for doom. But you can add .wad music in the "wad" tab? I thought that was only for levels? 0 Share this post Link to post
Tolwyn Posted January 10, 2004 Heavens no. Any WAD containing any valid entry/lump is aok. That's been since the original floppy release, as far as I know. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkpaul Posted January 12, 2004 Well, tie me up and spank me like a bitch. You're right. Thx guys. Appreciate it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tolwyn Posted January 12, 2004 No sweat. You haven't seen some of my questions in the past few months. I've asked some real doosies... And I've been playing the game on and off since 1930 or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkpaul Posted January 15, 2004 Alright, then one more, guys. Does anyone know where I can get the doom2 music wad file offered by doomdepot? http://www.doom2.net/~elbryan/doommisc.html#wads If not, somethin really good for doom2 that doesn't stray too much from original music, just FAR better sounding. 0 Share this post Link to post
