Description
What about some nice SCUMMVM-Habby-Birthday Indy3/MI1music ?
Patch enables sound in GF_OLD256 games (verified
with indy3 & monkeyvga on PC).
Well it's a first effort. It's done via little "SO/AD" to "ADL " resource tweaking.
The SO resource consists of AD and WA and nested SO resources. There are 2 different AD formats. A long (> 0x98h bytes) and a short form. The long is background music and is played by this patch.
Todo: a) A set of default instruments for all MIDI channels is used, so you can hear the melody, but it's far from perfect. Instruments are in the first 0x98h bytes of the AD resource. I'am still trying to find (with help of the adplug sources) some solution.
b) No sound looping. Who can help ?
c) The short form of AD resource is used for short sounds (doors, steps etc.) and doesn't work right now. But there are the WA (for WAVE ?) resource, which maybe can be played raw.
d) The proper LE/BE handling have to be checked for other platforms than PC/Intel.

It works!!!
most time music is much too fast, but it doesn't seem to break anything in other games.

Nice work. But over hear, the music is quite silent, i.e. I have to massively turn up my speakers to be able to hear anything. And the instruments are indeed completly off :-)

I am not so happy with this. The patch has severe issues here: * completly wrong instruments (if they are not completly off for you, maybe this is an endian issue) * super low volume, barely audible here unless I turn up my speakers
Also, I wonder about some things in the code, maybe some more comments wouldn't have hurt.
I think it's counter productive to just immediatly check in any given patch, rather let's try to first at least fix any obvious major flaws. That said, I fully appreciate mnepomuk work here, good work.
Travis, please if there are not resolved issues, don't just commit the patch, discuss it first with Ender or me; or if you want to add it anyway and none of is available, add FIXME comments indicating the known problems to the source, including a reference to a tracker item (i.e. this patch item) where more details are to be found.

I agree with fingolfin (but: patch doesn't hurt) and I am working on instruments, volume and comments ;-)
