Scientist Posted December 11, 2002 I'm new at replacing music in a doom-wad so here's how I tried to do it: -Take a midi-file -run it through midi2mus -rename de mus-file to a raw-file -put it in a pwad with NWT Well I've tried this but midi2mus could not handle the conversion or something. I think the midi was to big. So my question is: Is there a better way/programm to replace music? Thanks 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted December 11, 2002 Use Wintex. However, it also uses midi2mus, so I'd also like to know a good converter for very large midis. Anything over 70-80 KB and midi2mus throws a tantrum. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted December 11, 2002 Um DeePSea can do it without midi2mus, but I dont know how. Just wait til Deep sees this thread... 0 Share this post Link to post
Julian Posted December 11, 2002 Depends for what port you target, but most now directly support mids as lumps so you could try inserting the mid without converting it into mus. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scientist Posted December 11, 2002 Actually I was hoping to be able to run it with doom2.exe. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted December 11, 2002 ZDoom can also play midi's directly from the pwad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted December 11, 2002 Don't you get it? Scientist wants his wads to be compatible with un-ported vanilla Doom2.exe The way to go is definately Wintex. All the nitpicking neatly automatized. I don't think you need to rename them .raw files. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted December 11, 2002 You can't use music files bigger than 64K. 0 Share this post Link to post

Now I urge you to stop spamming with those überlame I-know-everything-and-you-all-understand-shit-and-I-even-dont-need-to-bother-reading-a-thread-cause-Im-like-god one-liners. Because obviously, you'd better read before posting. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMer 4ever Posted December 11, 2002 I don't understand a thing about wintex, so this is how I would will do it: 1. Use midi2mus to converts the midis to mus-files 2. Use mustool (I think you can get it from the archives) to make a new music-only wad. 3. Merge the music wad and level wad with NWT. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMer 4ever Posted December 11, 2002 The Reverend Julian said:O_o I'd say he knows midi2mus does not work for his mid. Looks like I misunderstood the question, but it's no wonder. First he says that midi2mus won't work on his midis and then he asks what program is best for replacing music. AFAIK there is no way to replace music with midi2mus... 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted December 15, 2002 I read through the thread, and I just want to see if I'm reading this right: DeepSea SW will convert midi's over 64k? I've got the same problem, with one midi being 93k, and one 185k. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've got the same problem, with one midi being 93k, and one 185k. Sorry - the limit is 64k for the final result. IIRC, sometimes the source can be over 64k - too long ago to remember for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post
