GUS 1M-II

About This File

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.

A later version of this by the same author exists in the archives as gus1mIId.zip. You're better off using that.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
