Best way to add music into wad (midis) ?

[CawcoDemon]

Whats the best way to use new music for a mappack?

 

Shall I create a seperate music-wad?

 

Or do I put the midis into the map itself?

 

Will the midis be ignored, when I want to try a seperate music-wad?

The only reason to put the custom music in a separate wad its to make it optional. If you dont have any reason to do that, then simply put the midis in the maps wad and rename them with the names of the doom 2 music (D_RUNNIN for map01 music and such)

This, and I would recommend the program SLADE for doing this, it's very easy to use. You can just directly import your MIDI file into your WAD, then rename it so it replaces the appriopate MAPxx slot (for MAP01, the name would be D_RUNNIN).

Just make sure to put the MIDI's after all the map data. Putting them in the middle of the map data can mess up the WAD.

alternatively, if you are using an advanced port, you can give the midi any arbitrary name you like as long as it gets referenced in the appropriate MAPINFO
