- Yes they ARE all Queen and Beatles songs and obviously a little out
- different for Doom ;) but that's all I have. The purpose is to show
- that a music editor is possible with simply using Deu, here's how:
-
- The names for the songs in the WAD are D_E1M1, D_E1M2 etc.
- Firstly, you'll need MIDI2MUS if you want to convert MIDI files
- to .MUS files. Once you have your collection of .MUS files, you're
- ready. Load up Deu 5.1 beta (an excellent program by the way, thanks
- Raphael!) and you'll use the insert command. Let's say you're first
- mission is to be playing the song `Birthday' and the file name is
- `Birthday.mus'. Type the following:
- I BIRTHDAY.MUS D_E1M1
- It will save it to a seperate .WAD file with the music info.
- Do this for however many missions you want to then you can use
- the group command to make a PWAD such as this one.
- That's all there is to it! If you didn't understand what I just
- said you can leave me mail and I'll try to explain further, but you
- shouldn't have too many troubles.
- This PWAD has new music for every level except the secret levels. (I
- forgot and didn't have enough .MID files anyway) The Queen sound
- files sound like crap on my Soundblaster Pro but that's not the
- fault of Doom, they always sound like that. I don't know much
- about MIDI btu I think someone once told me that the files were
- saved with a different drum track or on a different port or something.
- (I do NOT have a MIDI kit) If anybody could help me out with that
- I'd appreciate it! The Beatles songs sound fine on my SBPro hwoever
- as do a few of the Queen songs.
- To use this PWAD you do the same as with map pwads, just type
- DOOM -FILE MUSIC.WAD
-
- Phew! I think that's it, so if you have any comments, suggestions
- or can help me out with those Queen .MID files I'd appreciate it!
- Maybe now people can write their own songs to fit the mood of their
- PWADS and include them with them.
