- Title : Chiptune Doom 2
- Filename : chipdm2.wad
- Release date : May 11, 2002
- Author : Bloodshedder (Bill Koch)
- Email Address : bloodshedder@doomworld.com
- Other Files By Author : jazzdoom.wad (Made a few years ago, not entirely
- proud of it :P)
- hrcave.wad (Heretic level created by my brother,
- published by me)
- chipdoom.wad (The original Chiptune Doom)
- Misc. Author Info : Part of the Doomworld staff
- (http://www.doomworld.com/)
- Description : All the original Doom 2 tunes remixed into
- chiptunes via Impulse Tracker (IT) format. If you
- don't know what a chiptune is, basically it
- emulates the sound of the NES, Commodore64, etc.
- music engines in the form of tracker-based music
- (MOD, XM, S3M, IT, etc). It should be noted that
- these songs were converted BY HAND, without the
- aid of a MID->IT converter of any sort. In
- general, the drums are not the same quality as in
- most chiptunes, but better.

- * Construction *
- Base : New from scratch
- Build Time : Several months
- Editor(s) used : ModPlug Tracker and MIDI Orchestrator Plus! for
- music, WinTex and XWE for inspecting and
- inserting into WAD files, WadPTR for compressing
- the WAD to save some space.
- Known Bugs : There are some arpeggio problems in MAP32's
- music, D_ULTIMA, which is a bug in FMOD (the
- sound library ZDoom uses), so the song doesn't
- sound quite like it should in-game.
- The various module players in various source
- ports don't support crisp interpolation of the
- music, so the songs may sound a little cracky at
- times. If you want a fuller listening experience,
- save the music lumps to IT files, or look under
- "Web sites" at the end of this document to find
- them in their native IT format. The songs sound
- best in Winamp.
- May Not Run With... : doom2.exe, any source port that doesn't support
- tracker-format music (check your docs for MOD,
- module, or tracker support). Not sure if any
- ports besides ZDoom support this.
