How to change the music for episode 4 of Doom 1?

[Rei is now real]

So, I'm making a wad for The Ultimate Doom (technically using Freedoom: Phase 1 because I like the textures), and I wanted to replace the music for episode 4. And I tried renaming the midi that I wanted to use for episode 4, and it didn't work. Please, help?

Are you targeting the actual vanilla executable, or Chocolate Doom for that matter?

 

If so, E4M1 is hardcoded to reuse the music lump D_E3M4, E4M2 will reuse D_E3M2, and so on as per below.

        static const int spmus[] =     // Song - Who? - Where?
        {
          mus_e3m4,     // American     e4m1
          mus_e3m2,     // Romero       e4m2
          mus_e3m3,     // Shawn        e4m3
          mus_e1m5,     // American     e4m4
          mus_e2m7,     // Tim  e4m5
          mus_e2m4,     // Romero       e4m6
          mus_e2m6,     // J.Anderson   e4m7 CHIRON.WAD
          mus_e2m5,     // Shawn        e4m8
          mus_e1m9      // Tim          e4m9
        };

It would depend on what engine you're trying to run it on, but it not working with a MIDI is pretty strange.

 

We'd need some more info, really.

Ah, right, forgot about that little nuance, too.

 

Yeah, if he tried renaming it mus_e4m1, that wouldn't work. mus_e3m4 would, of course.

I'm targeting Woof (So, Boom, basically), and I've never really worked with Boom, so, I do need a bit of guidance.

If Woof supports the UMAPINFO lump then you can easily specify the music tracks. See

Woof is forked from WinMBF, so yeah, really Boom-level compatibility.

 

Pretty sure it doesn't support a MAPINFO or any of its variants, so right now renaming the music files is the only way.

 

Could always ask for that support though?

I just had a look at the Woof homepage and saw this

Support for the "UMAPINFO" lump has been added, compliant to Rev 1.6 of the spec (since Woof! 5.0.0).

As a nice reference, the last release of The Ultimate MIDI Pack (file: ultimidi-0.2.3.wad) features a UMAPINFO lump, which assigns dedicated music lumps (D_E4M[1-9]) to the fourth episode.
