- GREAT ! You are brave and you will be rewarded for it. Good luck !
-
-
- Well :
-
- _/ You own a GUS with 1024 K on board
- (if you don't it's not too late, it's really worth it !)
-
- _/ You don't hate DOOM ][
- (if you think it is the greatest game you have ever played it suits too)
-
- _/ You love DOOM ]['s musics
- (if you don't try this then you will)
-
- _/ You play with maxi music volume
- (if you don't why do you have a GUS, a SB would have been cheaper)
-
- THEN THIS IS FOR YOU !!
-
-
- But what is it ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This is an optimized MIDI instrument mapping for GUS 1024 (like GUS1M
- by Tom Klok for DOOM 1).
- Tom Klok has done a very good job with GUS1M (thanx) but this mapping
- doesn't suit with DOOM ][.
- This is not Tom Klok's fault : DOOM (1) and DOOM ][ don't use the same MIDI
- instruments at all. Id didn't seem to note it because they have inserted
- GUS1M in DOOM ]['s directory (DMXGUSC entry), which is not, I repeat, good
- for DOOM ][.
-
- So, thanks to Joakim Erdfelt, I have converted MUS files to MIDI files with
- MUS2MIDI so I could see what instruments were used in the musics.
- Then I made a list of them and made the mapping according to it.
-
- The result is ... simply great ;) ! DOOM ][ is not yet the same !
- This is not a lie : try and listen.
-
-
- How to use it ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This wad (GUS1M-II.WAD) was made for DOOM ][ and not for DOOM (1)
- (if you don't have GUS1M.WAD, get it it's excellent for DOOM 1).
- If you use GUS1M-II with DOOM 1, it will do nothing at all
- (DMXGUSC entry is ignored by DOOM 1).
- To use GUS1M-II, just do :
-
- doom2 -file gus1m-II.wad
-
- or (better) insert it definitively in DOOM2.WAD (not dangerous) with
- DEUTEX for example (a very good tool : thanx to Olivier Montanuy,
- a French guy too) :
-
- deutex -doom \games\doom2 -merge gus1m-II.wad
-
- That's it !
-
- If you are a music lover you will really appreciate the difference.
- Try this :
- - launch DOOM ][ without GUS1M-II and listen some musics (IDCLEV__) :(
- - pump up the volume, pump up the volume, pump up the volume
- - launch DOOM ][ WITH GUS1M-II and enjoy the music :o
-
- Let me know if you like it (sure you do !)
