Sound and music from The Game
Last night i was doing nothing and suddenly thought: TTD! I raised my archives, ran DOSbox and... that was it! The game that drove me mad for about 3 years, from '95 to '98, the game that I've been playing nights through while being a 7 year old maniac... I played it! %))
Shortly after the euphoria had gone i decided to rip sounds and music from that thing. Therer were no problems with sounds - just to unpack the samples.cat and remove the first 3 bytes from each fiile (there came 73 files of 8-bit 11/22kHz RIFF wave format). That was harder with the music because i didn't now what kind of MIDI was there and what its header looks like. But DOSbox helped me - i basicly played all the tracks through, capturing them into separate .mid files. So, now you have it - 73 sounds, 22 tracks in a 1M archive. Maybe it's been already done a thousand times before me but do we care? Enjoy

If you're talented in the music area - you couldn't do worse than make us some remixes. I always love a good TTD music track remixed.

Now that you're talking about remixes why not make some sort of contest for the best TTDX song remixes?
The best ones could then go into the new music system that someday will allow ogg, mp3, etc, to be added as game music

i'm thinking of "covering" some TTDL songs, on actual instruments ofcourse. maybe i'll start a band to play them.Sionide wrote:If you're talented in the music area - you couldn't do worse than make us some remixes. I always love a good TTD music track remixed.

a friend of mine made a 4 channel edition of theme. It is basically pretty much identical to original, but now you can use it as ring tone in cellphones that support 4 channel mids (like mine Nokia 3150i)
right now it's on my wap pages (that are private and in finnish as well) but if you want, I can make english wap pages so that you can easily download it to your phone...

yeah, I know. the original midi played as well in my phone, but because it does not support more than 4 channels at time, it didn't played correctly. That's why it was editted. (original has 16 simultaneus channels.)Born Acorn wrote:my phone supports any midi file so I already have it, and so do many other peopleNappe1 wrote:a friend of mine made a 4 channel edition of theme.

This modification was done over a year ago (year and half maybe close to truth...) and after that cellphones have gotten more simultaneus voices in ringtones so time has passed it already.
Sorry dudes i didn't know about the separate files... The thing is, my copy of TTD is about 7 or 8 y.o., and there are several .cat archives - you know, sample, gm, roland... and they all contained .dat's with the data I was talking about. And i still hope this alrchive will be useful for other lazy people like me So don't judge me too hard... And what about the remixes - I'm really close to start working on them. I'm gonna first sequence the main theme in three ways - GM using Overture, tracked form in my custom-built MPT and the fat cheezy Reason variant - I guess the last one will be much larger because there's no way to share it except simply rendering to mp3 or ogg Then I'll compare them and decide if 2nd or 3rd variants are worth developing or will GM be just enough for performing my ideas... %)
