A QUICK little favour...

For some strange reason, MIDI2MUS isn't working on my computer - it locks every time I try to convert something. Until I get the problem fixed, I need somebody to take this
MIDI file and convert it to MUS for me. That would be greatly appreciated. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
And if anyone knows why I'm experiencing problems with MIDI2MUS, could you please tell me how to fix it? <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":?:" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->

OH MAN that's easy as hell! MIDI2MUS never failed for me.
/me does it
Hey, is this midi corrupt? Appears to be.

I've used MIDI2MUS for [u:19npu4o5]years[/u:19npu4o5]. This is the first time a problem like this has ever happened - and I don't know how or why.
BTW Did I mention that I needed the MUS file back? <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

[quote="CheapAlert":20uzebm0]Hey, is this midi corrupt? Appears to be.
Well I can play it here on my computer using Media Player. Could you elaborate a bit?

I can't play it in any player D:
Got MSN or so? We could transfer it that way without putting it on some unreliable webhost that corrupt it. ANd communicate without editing D:

Shit
Maybe I have a spare copy of the same MIDI lying around. Hey, maybe there's no problem with MIDI2MUS after all - just the MIDI file itself.

I used to have MSN, but I left my account alone for too long and now it's gone. Is it OK if I try to e-mail it to you?

It's probably an RMI or MIDI format 0 (which isn't supported by alotta DOS apps)
Yeah email will work.
Wed, 23 Jun 2004 18:26:06
99% of the time I use MIDI format 0 - but both MIDI formats are down from MIDI2MUS for now. Anyway, I'll email you a format 1 and see if that works.

Holy crap, connection to my inbox is refusing
D:!
Send it over to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:cheapalert@yahooDONTSPAMOK.com">cheapalert@yahooDONTSPAMOK.com</a><!-- e --> instead (Remove the DONTSPAMOK of course..)
Wed, 23 Jun 2004 18:37:14
That one isn't working either... <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x -->
Wed, 23 Jun 2004 18:44:01
It should. Did you remove the "DONTSPAMOK" bit? <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

....
Got the midi, and I have no luck <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->
It just freezes at the "Converting..."
Well most doom/hexen/heretic ports DO directly support midi so you don't have to convert, then again Zdoom's AWESOME fm emulation don't work on that D:
Wed, 23 Jun 2004 19:06:00
Ditto
OK I'm convinced: the problem lies in the MIDI, not MIDI2MUS. I take it the file is corrupt, then?
I'll have to either find a spare spare, or replicate the file from scratch. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: -->

Well the file hosted on the aol site of yours is indeed corrupt, however the one you've sent me has a different problem. Probably with the instrements or something.....?
Also I opened it in winamp. There's an instrument named "Pornography"

That's GOT to be the work of my little sister. The song is supposed to be about driving a taxi through the expressway in the pouring rain, but she always teased me - saying it sounded like a porn theme. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
But she went too far. <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt=":evil:" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->
Loop start, eh? I'll have to look at that - I don't remember one.
Wed, 23 Jun 2004 19:27:26
Well I looked into the loop thing and - lo behold, there was one - it was 0 seconds long but there was one. I got rid of it, and it looks like it's in MUS right now.
Problem solved. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
