PSX music pack for EDuke32

[Jake Crusher]

Hi, everybody. This is my first thing which has to do with EDuke32.
On the base of HRP music pack, I`ve made a PSX music pack, which consists mostly on Mark Knight`s music for PSX version of DN3D.
But before I`ll release it, I want to know 1 thing - is it necessary for you? I mean - maybe something like that already exists, and I`ve just wasted my time?
Also, the size of that pack is 138 MB, since all songs I`ve put there are 128 kbps OGG files, not 64 kbps as it is in the original pack....

So, can I? Or I cannot?

[XTHX2]

Well, I can always say yes for new music and yeah, I've downloaded a 99 MB music pack a few days go so it can come in handy for me. I don't know it's up to you to release it as it's all yours (You'll be credited if you release)

That's Mark Knight's page. Scroll down to where it says Duke Nukem 3D, Playstation (1997). He has all the mp3s for download.

[Jake Crusher]

I meant - a music pack, which contains music for EDuke32?
Of course, Mark Knight is credited there
And thanks - I know about that page

[XTHX2]

Well, he surely saved us from converting them to OGG's (if he releases...). So, will you release it?

[Jake Crusher]

Yeah, I will release it.
Currently, I`m uploading it on the filefront.
When I`ll finish uploading it - I`ll post a link to it here.

[Jake Crusher]

OK, guys - here you go.

If you have any questions about it - write here.
Also - I wish you good time playing EDuke with this pack!

[Radar1013]

I've always wanted to listen to his music in the game.

Tanks.

EDIT: Um, download isn't working over here.

[TerminX]

Link doesn't work for me...

[Radar1013]

...

[Jake Crusher]

It isn`t?
OK, I`ll re-upload it. Maybe you can tell me - where to?

[XTHX2]

Hmmm, it just leads me to filefront and that's it...

[Jake Crusher]

XTHX2
OK, in that case - I`ll upload it to transferbigfiles.com
I hope that you can download it from there

[XTHX2]

Ignore this, I clicked twice to that thing..... argh.

[XTHX2]

Well, I can't seem to find it even with searching so, if you have time to do so, I'll be so happy

[Spiker]

If I were you I would use sendspace.com. I like the easiness with which you can upload and download files from there.

[XTHX2]

Uh, it sometimes won't let you download saying " free service is at full capacity.. "

[Jake Crusher]

OK. How about this?
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get....b-d160051ad9e8
So, try this one. Just in case, I`ll upload it to sendspace as well

[XTHX2]

It works, downloading right now. Thank you.

EDIT : Why is lemchill and gotham, spook and robocrep, thecall and streets are the same?

[Jake Crusher]

XTHX2
it is just like in the PSX version - on some levels music was repeating....don`t ask me, why
The problem for me was to correctly remember, which song played on the some levels. Yeah, I do have PSX Total Meltdown - but for some unknown reasons, game slows down...

As for those songs you mentioned....well, at first, I tried to modify music.def, inside the zip. To be more precise, I changed some song names, according to how songs were playing on PSX. But after some tests, I noticed that instead of PSX OGG`s, duke3d.grp`s midi were playing.
So, I decided to insert same song in the pack 2 times, if it was like PSX version.
I believe that it has something to do with the order of the songs in duke3d.grp...
But if somebody can make that music can be repeated on the necessary levels instead of copy\pasting it again - you can do that.

I wanted to achieve maximum effect from this music pack - as if you`re playing PSX HRP
It is you, who can say - was I able to do that or not.

OK, and here is another link to it. (somebody asked me to upload it to sendspace, right?)

Yeah, he did, and thanks for reply again.

By the way, you don't have to copy the same music files over and over, it just takes space. Instead, edit the music.def file to play the same song for the other songs.

[Jake Crusher]

XTHX2
I tried that - watch my post higher
But that didn`t worked.
Also, check readme in the pack - I`ve explained there as well these reasons.
However, if you know how to repeat these tracks without copying same tracks - you can do that.

[XTHX2]

You just need to put he music name in, wherever it repeats. For example;

The above part is where the robocrep is used should look like;

"highres/music/robocrep.ogg" // Robocrep.ogg

This part is where the spook is used should look like;

"highres/music/robocrep.ogg" //spook.ogg

Since, they are both the same, using that one again wouldn't hurt. That's what you simply have to do and it should work.

[Jake Crusher]

So, are you trying to say that, for example, the line
Music { ID "E3L11" file "highres/music/" } // whomp.ogg
should be looking like
Music { ID "E3L11" file "highres/music/snake1.ogg" } // whomp.ogg
or it`s not?

[XTHX2]

Exactly. (Of course, if whomp and snake are the same musics.)

[Jake Crusher]

And it automatically means that I`m supposed to redo this pack...geez...OK, I`ll do that.
In the meantime - play with this, for a while. And thank you very much, XTHX2, for your advice and help!

[XTHX2]

No not really, just remove the unnecessary files and edit the def file and upload again Only uploading part is a pain others are easy.

[Jake Crusher]

OK, I did it. Just like you said.
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get....e-f286e22b35d8

http://www.sendspace.com/file/nw4ho0

Changed music.def and deleted those songs which aren`t used.
Have fun!

[XTHX2]

It's working right? lol

I fixed mine so no problem for me. Most people want it done for themselves so, good thing you've done

[themaniacboy]

I might be bumping an old thread but i just thought i would thank the thread starter for doing this as i REALLY wanted some of the PSX music for Duke 3d playing on the PC version for ages, so thank you this made my day.

[Hendricks266]

Hmm... Saturn music pack...

N64 music pack would be easy. Just replace Grabbag and turn the music off.

[Logan XII]

Sorry to be a pain but i put this in the autoload folder right next to my HRP.zip and it doesn't work,it gives me error messages for the files then the midi loads.

[PimpUigi]

LMAO @ the N64 pack.

I'd really like to see what the Saturn pack would be like.
Or play all the levels over on the Saturn after watching the youtube video.

Man the Saturn version looks cool awesome compared to the PSX and especially 64 versions.

Course I didn't see the stripper in the Saturn version...so that may be a bit premature for me to say.

In that case, I'll get both of those together. It's nice because the makers of the Saturn version used the Grabbag from the Duke3D disc.

[PimpUigi]

That's cool.

That's probably my favorite version of grabbag.

[Hendricks266]

Duke Nukem 64 Music Pack
Duke Nukem 3D Saturn Music Pack

Place either one in “autoload/duke3d.grp”.

[Phayzon]

Duke64 didnt have any music though

[PimpUigi]

It had it's own version of grabbag.
Which I think is really the worst version out there.
That's just me though. Good to have it available.

Cool hearing the Saturn music too.

Good job Hendricks : )
