quake chambers

[flay]

Hi all, been a while.....

Ive upgraded to windows vista ultimate but still had xp installed on a seperate partition (multiboot) , i thought i would give quake a go on vista...

Quake installed as normal as did dark places however for some reason media player 11 thinks the quake cd is a Kasey Chambers album called barricades and brickwalls. wtf.

Anyway my question is...... is it posible to rip the audio of the quake cd and insert the files into the quake folder on my hard drive so the audio plays during the game without cd inserted?

Assuming that the problem was solved, I'll derail this thread now. If it wasn't excuse me

RocketGuy: That e1m1 thing sounds like it would conflict with the worldspawn data on which track to play... I guess if youve got enough tracks for each level, but I personally think the Quake soundtrack is excellent as is.

if (fileexists("e1m1.ogg"))
{
Play("e1m1.ogg");
DontPlayCD();
};

Doesn't look very conflicting to me

make an image of the whole cd, then mount it with a virtual cd drive emulator. I think you can do this all with PowerISO, which I think is better than DaemonTools, the other main virtual cd drive emulator

wav is large as its not compressed, mp3, ogg, wma and such are compressed formats. Darkplaces reads ogg and so you should encode the wavs as ogg, which you can do with CDex.

i ripped as .wav and each track was around 50Mb ??? still did not work, ive just checked my pm, thanks in advance cs

[RocketGuy]

You need to have them as .wav or .ogg, darkplaces can't read wmv.

EDIT:

Sniper beat me to it

EDIT2:

GRRR! /me slaps C*S

[Canadian*Sniper]

.wav or .ogg should do. Check your PMs

EDIT: RocketGuy got owned

ok in my id folder i have..pak0.pak, pak1.pak, deisl1.isu and config,

i had made a new folder called sound, inside that a folder called cdtracks.
How do i get the audio off the quake disk? there are no sound files i can see and im looking for 10 of them according to media player, ive tried ripping them and putting them into the cdtracks folder but i got no audio

i did rip them as .wma , should i rip as .wav?

[RocketGuy]

I need to steel this and put in Qrack

EDIT:

Better yet make it play a song per-map like e1m1.wav/ogg in e1m1. This should be put in Darkplaces too

[scar3crow]

peg - yes, but with this you can have distinct soundtracks per mod if you so wish. and besides, you get to run Darkplaces, which is always a good thing.

it works! I love DP even more now!

[=peg=]

i didnt try but can't u just make an image of the quake cd and mount it in a virtual drive?

[Canadian*Sniper]

scar3crow is the man!!!! (and LH for making DP )

[scar3crow]

you can make the pk3, or you can do the dump, Darkplaces will look for either

it will be:
quake\id1\sound\cdtracks\track002.ogg

if that is in place then the contents of track002.ogg will play when Darkplaces starts and demo1.dem is loaded, or if you go to dm4, as it has that as the audiotrack as well.
