Feature Request: Custom midi files

[MikeG]

Hello,

while coding on my own driver I had another idea. What about custom files in _path.gm_dir?

There's a fine site I found which has free midi files http://www.midifilearchive.com/midifilesmain.html

So I wrote a small function to read in all another files existing in gm. It should be much better, but for the moment it adds all files (default + custom) t
o a global list.

Now I have a problem, that I don't understand some code in music_gui.c, which should be changed to play midis from the new list not from old.

Maybe another coder will take this advantage to its end. It would be a nice feature, because 22 songs in 3 to 4 hours are repeated about 3 times.

See attached patch.

My new music patch already allows custom MP3, MIDI, Ogg Vorbis and WAV files from an M3U playlist file... it's not released yet as the MP3 support is slightly lacking, but I might get it finished up a bit more this weekend.

Oh, I won't mess with you

Did post a patch? May I can help... I love to read the code in this application. Because its a very nice game, I really want to improve it.

HOLY COW NOW THERE'S SOMETHING GOOD!!!

Can't wait for that patch, I use my winamp running in the background ad the midi files turned off but for newbies that would be great
