Description:	Okay, so you've downloaded all the Doom/Doom2 .mp2 files from Doomworld (www.doomworld.com) or Bobby Prince's site (before he moved only some of them to www.mp3.com). But how can you use them in a source port without creating a massive 60MB wad? This file is simply a DED (Doomsday Engine Definitions) file for the source port JDoom. It simply tells JDoom what music to use for each level, and where to find the files.

Base:	New from scratch
Build time:	a couple of hours
Editor(s) used:	Windows Notepad
Bugs:	the Doom1 intermission music (D_INTER) is missing on Doomworld so I have just linked to the Doom2 equivalent (D_DM2INT). Just edit mp2music.ded with a text editor if you prefer to use the original internal D_INTER.

The final entry in the archives when you search for the author "sparky". Compared to all the shit he's unleashed, like the infamous Plutonia Easy or the cancelled Kaizo Chex Quest, this sounds pretty useful and space-saving. Alas, this wad is only intended for Jdoom: a word that I, a citizen in the year 2012, do not know the meaning of.

Description             : Okay, so you've downloaded all the Doom/Doom2
                          .mp2 files from Doomworld (www.doomworld.com)
                          or Bobby Prince's site (before he moved only

                          use them in a source port without creating a
                          massive 60MB wad?

This file is simply a DED (Doomsday Engine
                          Definitions) file for the source port JDoom.
                          It simply tells JDoom what music to use for
                          each level, and where to find the files.

Other files required    : JDoom - a Doom source port available from:
                                  http://www.doomsdayhq.com/
                          Doom1 and/or Doom2's music files in .mp2
                          format - approx. 60MB - available from:
                                  http://www.doomworld.com/

* Play Information *

Game                    : Doom and/or Doom ][
Game play modes         : all  (untested in multiplayer modes)

=======================================================================

* Installation *

1) Download all the Doom1 and/or Doom2 .mp2 files from Doomworld
   http://www.doomworld.com

Notes:
   a) for some unknown reason, when Robert Prince made the .mp2
      files available in 1998 (?), he chose to use different filenames
      than the lump names within doom.wad and doom2.wad.
      Open mp2music.ded with a text editor to see the names of the
      required .mp2 files and their equivalent Doom lump names.
   b) There are less files than levels because many of the songs are
      used on more than one level. For example, m02_full.mp2 is used on
      Doom2's MAP02 (D_STALKS), MAP11 (D_STLKS2), and MAP17 (D_STLKS3).
   c) the Doom1 intermission music (D_INTER) is missing on Doomworld so
      I have just linked to the Doom2 equivalent (D_DM2INT).

2) Put this DED file into the following Doomsday folder:
     ..\defs\jdoom\auto\mp2music.ded

3) Create a new folder called "music" in your Doomsday folder.
   For example:  c:\doomsday\music\  or  c:\jdoom\music
   (depends what you named the folder when you first installed it).

4) Put all your Doom1 and Doom2 .mp2 files in this new MUSIC folder.

5) THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP AND EASY TO MISS...
   Start JDoom and select:  Options - Other - Audio Panel
   Under the "Preferred Music Source", select "External Files"

                          the Doom2 equivalent (D_DM2INT). Just edit
                          mp2music.ded with a text editor if you prefer
                          to use the original internal D_INTER.
May Not Run With...     : any source port other than JDoom.
