- DMMUI v1.0
- DooMMusic User Interface
- Written By Pooka
-
-
-
- What It Is : DMMUI is a front end for DMMUSIC.EXE, a program which
- allows you insert your own musical scores into DOOM.
- I've included DMMUSIC v1.0 and MIDI2MUS in the Zipfile,
- so you don't have to go looking for them. Hopefully their
- authors won't mind :)
-
-
-
- Installation : 1. UnZIP the files into the directory which contains
- your .MUS files.
-
- 2. Make sure that DMMUSIC.EXE is ALSO in that same
- directory (the one you just put DMMUI into). It
- should be included in the Zipfile, but if it's not
- (or you have a better version of DMMUSIC you wish to
- use), copy your DMMUSIC.EXE into the directory with
- DMMUI. Whether or not DMMUI will be compatible with
- future versions of DMMUSIC I don't know. I tested
- DMMUI with DMMUSIC v1.0, so anything later than that
- is not guaranteed to work.
-
- 3. Edit the DMMUI.INI file and change the directory to
- where your DOOM.WAD file is located.
-
- 4. Run DMMUI!
-
-
- Execution : When you run DMMUI, the first screen will give you a list
- of the .MUS files in the directory. Highlight one and press
- Enter. If there are "More", press F1 for the next page.
-
- Next, you will be given a list of missions. Pick one.
-
- After that, you will be asked to confirm your choices. If
- you messed up, you can select 'N' and start over. If you
- are pleased with your choices, press 'Y'.
-
- DMMUI will then ask you for the name of the PWAD file
- you wish to create. If you enter a filename (whatever.wad),
- DMMUSIC will create a PWAD of the mission you selected, but
- with new music. If you enter '*', DMMUSIC will CHANGE THE
- MUSIC IN YOUR DOOM.WAD FILE. If you don't want this, make
- sure to enter a filename.
-
- That's it! The PWAD file will be in you DMMUI directory,
- ready for play! Or if you didn't enter a PWAD filename, your
- DOOM.WAD file will have new music. To play the PWAD, go to
- your DOOM directory and type 'DOOM -FILE <path>\NEWMUSIC.WAD'.
-
-
- Limitations : If you want to make lots of PWADs, you'll have to run
- DMMUI again. I don't know how to make BorlandC++ return
- from an EXECL call. If you know how, please send me some
- email and I'll update DMMUI (and give proper credit! yay!).
-
-
-
- Epilogue : This program was coded very quickly without much attention
- paid to efficiency or style. Actually, if you need this
- program, then you're really lazy, because DMMUSIC really
- isn't very hard to use. I could only see this program being
- handy if you have LOTS of PWADs to make, or have LOTS
- of .MUS files you want to wade through. But, if you like it
- and have a use for it, I'm glad. If not, DEL DMMUI.EXE.
