[Zero X. Diamond]

Here's a little idea I came up with yesterday. Why not create a thread in which people can share their IMFs with everybody? It'd be great for people who want to make a mod, but can't find any good music, or create an IMF of a song they're looking for. I myself have a 3 megabyte collection of IMFs that I just listen to sometimes, most of which I'd be glad to upload and share. (I say most because some of them are the works of people from here. I got 'em in a zip that Chris linked somewhere.)

So what do you say? Is this a good idea? If it is, I'll get started uploading my IMFs.

[WSJ]

Sure, that'd be a good idea... I don't see any reason why not.

I'd be interested to hear what kinds of music other people have come up with. In the future, I might even contribute some of my own IMF music here... though I'm not promising anything, because a lot of what I've written isn't that great.

[Guest]

I've saw that you have composed the musics of COTS. When I have heard that, I have remembered of the musics of Operation Heimzahlung. You are talented in make musics to PC.

I must say:that musics give an new feeling to your games.

[Zero X. Diamond]

[Loki]

Thanks for this list Zero X. The music is very important for a good mod.
Infortunately, many of these musics are not very adapted to the spirit of Wolfenstein. Maybe to mods like Chokage. That would be fun to kill some Nazis on "American Patrol (faster)".
However, I founded some good things.

Tell me, you can convert and uploaded all the musics from Doom I ? Because I seek goods IMF. I have some ones of them, to found from many mods, but not all.

[JackaL]

Am I able to use some of these in my TC? Also can ya post some more some are not too bad

[Zero X. Diamond]

Loki: Yeah, a lot of them aren't quite Wolf3D spirited, and I know this well. Tons of them are just IMFed either to see if I could, or because I like listening to them. As for DooM, well, I can try, but I can't promise I can get everything to sound okay.

JackaL: Yes, you can use these in your TC. That's why I started this thread, so people would have a quick and easy archive of IMF music. Every IMF I upload here will be public domain, so take any of it you like. If I can get my hands on some more MIDIs, I'll make some more.\

I'm glad to see people are actually looking into this now!

[Chris]

I have some reservations about posting my IMFs to the public, as alot of them need improvement, but here's some silly rare stuff that I probably won't update; that you can play, or use for whatever you like...

THEWRATH.IMF - The first IMF I ever made, one of the songs I did for a demo of Verdammt (a dark area with flaming torches, as you enter a building). It slides through 3 different sections. The second part sounds kinda weird on my computer now. One thing I find cool is how it plays a certain sound effect only after the song is repeated; weird.

ODDWOODS.IMF - An "odd" version of a lost track from EoD. Mostly did this version for fun, which obviously didn't make it into the release, as the leads sound pretty strange. Took around 15 hours to work out the volume/sound issues to that point; but it was alot of fun to play around with. The original midi (which rocks!) can be found here.

CHOKIMF1.ZIP - Couldn't believe that this 'thing' still exists on my hard drive. It's the first Audiot file I ever tried to make, just throwing a bunch of old/short originals from my website together in IMFTOOLS to see how they would sound. I'll post it for fun, but be warned... it's quite a crappy and strange set - lol. Dates back to April 2001.

By the way, I love listening to all the songs you've posted Zero. That's quite a collection of musical masterpieces! Alot of them sound surprisingly good and error-free in IMF format. Even where there are noises that stick out, I find it interesting to see how those beepedy sounds work together. Way too many cool tracks on your list to name, alot of really catchy and powerful stuff in there! I can actually just listen to the whole thing on random in Darkone's Winamp IMF player all day; they're that cool.

[Zero X. Diamond]

Thanks, Chris. Glad to see someone else other than me listens to IMF music. I don't feel like such a nerd now! Anyways, on this subject, I've got a ton more, including some that I guarantee won't be found anywhere else. I've got school tomorrow, though, so I have to shower and get to bed. Be prepared, however.

Oh, and Loki, a lot of DooM songs don't want to convert properly. I personally lay the blame with the Distortion Guitar tracks. Just about every DooM song that had DG tracks in it puked really bad when it came to them. I did convert most of Episode 1, though, so look forward to that tomorrow.

Were you using IMFCreator or IMFTools? I'm going to post an update to IMFCreator tomorrow (in about 10 hours) that fixes a problem with tracks getting locked and fading away and such due to pitch bend MIDI events (such as in E1M1). Plus pitch bend support will be added.

[ZuljinRaynor]

DooM 2 - Evil Incarnate (I realize it was in SoD, but this version is orchestrated differently)

No it is not. The midi is exactly like the original IMF. Converting the midi version just screws in up.

[TexZK]

@Zero X.: you've made a great list of IMFs, but couldn't you put all them into a ZIP or, better, RAR archive?I'd want to download 'em all. Please!!!

I've actually tried both, neither works, though IMFCreator admittedly much better. As for fixing the pitch bending, holy freaking crap, I can't wait. I have this awesome song I had to convert badly with IMFTools, which had Distortion Guitars, assumedly because of pitch bend. (Pitch bend is what causes the DGs to lock up, am I right?) Anyways, seriously Adam, keep up the good work on the IMF front.

By orchestrated differently, I didn't mean note-wise, I mean sound-wise. Sorry for any confusion. If the words "orchestrated differently" appeared anywhere in my list, it probably means it sounds different.

Eh, fine, but if I do, I'm still keeping all of them available seperately, for those among us who are looking for specific pieces.

Anyways, I'm about to start the major upload, so get ready to see a big list here soon.

[Adam Biser]

@Zero X. Diamond: Well, you can grab the newest IMFCreator now. Let me know if it handles the song that you mentioned.

[Zero X. Diamond]

Heh, just got it, and it DID convert several things that biffed earlier without error. However, even though the music piece I've got doesn't lock up anymore, it's still a bit funny. Since you made IMFCreator, I assume you're a wiz with it. Maybe you could take a shot at it?

Yeah, I corrected a lot of bugs with this version. The song you mention might be too complex for the IMF format itself. It has a lot of limitations. One way to check for this is to go to Options->Calculate Discarded Notes and see what that number is. If it's in the 100's then the MIDI is too complex for IMF and it needs to be edited. Or you can just start dropping off tracks until it sounds good.

[Zero X. Diamond]

EDITED BECAUSE I JUST REALIZED MY DUMB MISTAKE AND MADE THE CONVERSION WORK ><

[Adam Biser]

What did you have to do to get it to work?

[JackaL]

Bobsp3 - Bobsp3
it is Metallica - "Fuel"
i listened to it coz i saw the word Duke 3d

heh

[Zero X. Diamond]

All I had to do was remove the same three instruments I did to get it to almost work in IMFTool. ><
