Re: MIDI Streams (MDS)

I have accomplished what I was after. I broke down and used Winamp. Fortunately, changing the files' extension from MDS to RMI was sufficient. It did not work with any other players that I had found. If Levellass sees this post. I am still waiting for the AdLib sound set for the Commander Keen serie...

MIDI Streams (MDS)

I have some music files that are in MIDI stream (MDS) format. What can I use to convert them to standard MIDI sequences? I do not want to use Winamp because I do not like the introduction file that is included with its installation. I tried changing the extension to .mid. But, Windows Media Player w...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

I am sorry to read about your loss of employment. That is definitely a bummer. You definitely should get reestablished before continued work with the Keen games. That does explain your delayed response, though. I did find the delay quite odd. I wish you the best in your endeavor to get reemployed. I...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

I don't mean to bother you, Levellass, as you are probably quite busy. But, did you get the rest of the sounds extracted and compiled into an archive or a set of archives so that I can download them? I am missing: The PC Speaker sounds from Keen 4. Both sets of sounds from Keen 5 (at least, in their...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

So far, things are looking up. I imported the sounds and found the total quantity to be 181. Since episode 4 has 52 sounds, I might have been missing some of them before indeed. I had only 38 before. The same might be true for episodes 5 and 6. It definitely looks like I will likely need to use inst...

Re: IMF to Others

Awave Studio might work. But, I think that I found it to not do great at preserving audio quality when loading Commander Keen's music. I noticed that the developer's Web address has changed. I hadn't visited the site in a long time. I noticed that they are up to version 11.2. I have version 10.6. T...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

The set is not mine. Ah That might why they already had "human readable names." I know that, when I cropped One Must Fall: 2097's sound effects out of the original data file, I named them Sound number , where number is the sound's in-game index. For example, the sound of a spike coming fr...

IMF to Others

Does someone know of a tool that I can use to convert Commander Keen's IMF music to any of the following formats: PSM (preferred, hence, it is number 1) MOD 669 STM S3M I tried importing the samples as wav files and saving them using S3M format using ModPlug Tracker and then converting the resulting...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

Those are what I was looking for. Thank you, Levellass. Note to Levellass: KeenWave worked with no problems when I used version 1.4 of Commander Keen 4. The version that I had used before that was version o1.0. But, I [at least, currently] do not have the latest version of episodes 1-3½ or episodes ...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

Alright, I figured out what "UNLZEXE" means and have decompressed the executable (renaming the newly created one and the old one accordingly). I now run into problem #2, [stated slow and low] the famous one. [back to normal speed and pitch] I have come across error #2. AdLib sound too shor...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

Thank you for the replies. maybe WDC helps I have not used WDC. I have read that it is definitely not "the best" with respect to modifying the games. But, as I stated in my initial post. I am not interested in modifying the games themselves. I am interested only in audio extraction. Does W...

Re: KeenWave 0.5

Levellass, I attempted to use KeenWave, downloaded from http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/KeenWave (version 1.1) to extract the sound effects from episode 4. But, upon attempting to extract the sounds, I received the following error. No audio header found in executable. Make sure it is UNLZEXE'd! How ...
