DOOM music in DOOM II

[WigglyStuf]

Hello :)

 

I'm making my first little map collection wad, using UDB on GZDoom engine. I've toyed around with Slade 3 for a bit, and have very basic understanding of it.

 

That being said, I've always liked DOOM's music more than DOOM II's. Is there a way I can import the files and use them in my DOOM II levels? Thanks :)

Thanks for answering, but I don't mean to replace them. I want to use both 1 and 2's tracks, because there are some tracks in DOOM II I like. Is it possible?

Yes. Just replace the songs you don't want with the songs from Doom 1. For example, if you want to replace Running from Evil with At Doom's Gate, you get D_E1M1 and add it into your wad and rename it to D_RUNNIN. This will only replace the song that plays in MAP01, and MAP15 will still play Running from Evil. To change MAP15, you just name whatever midi you want to D_RUNNI2. Another example is if you want to replace The Healer Stalks with Demons on the Pray. All you need to do is get D_E1M7 and rename it to D_STALKS for MAP02, D_STLKS2 for MAP11, and D_STLKS3 for MAP17.

 

If you want it to be a bit easier, import the Doom 2 midi's into your wad, then find the ones you don't want, get the Doom 1 midi's and import them into the Doom 2 midi's, then delete any of the unchanged midi's as they don't do anything. If you do it this way you don't need to rename anything.

 

There is most likely a video on youtube that explains it as well, if that makes it a bit easier to understand.

You can open the Doom iwad on slade and extract the songs manually. You have to rename them with the song you want to replace, Here's a list with all the internal song names.

You can also make it the fancy way with MAPINFO, but this is as basic and easy as you can get regarding doom 2's music.

Ohhh okay, that makes sense.
