Download installer: ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/War2Music.exe (http://ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/War2Music.exe) , install it into war2combat folder.
It will overwrite install.exe file.
Since this installer size is 7,2 Mb, install.exe size will be 104Mb.
This program is just a test, so it will overwrite your install.exe and will not not restore it after uninstallation. You should reinstall combat if you want to remove that music.
How it works:
It gets midi music (ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/War2_music.rar (http://ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/War2_music.rar)) and converts it into wav-files, then packs into mpq-archive called install.exe.
That could take a lot of time (several minutes), but makes good quality wavs on your local computer using software midi instruments.
Problems:
- unfortunately midi archive contains only 4 soundtracks (instead of 6 integrated into war2bne), so i had to skip missed soundtracks.
- though these are the same melodies, they sounds different than wavs in original war2bne. Because musical instruments in Blizzard sound card and my software were different. So let's try this music and compare it to original music if you have one.
This idea is based on this thread: http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,389.0.html (http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,389.0.html)
Waiting for your reports.
My thought was to go this way and to add this music into next combat if quality will be fair.

someone may have made a youtube video of original soundcards playback...wouldnt they sound better than card of today?
wav's are dam near mp3 to me in my headphones, downsampling+mono of course audacity(free) does a great job so does cooledit pro(not free).
im cool with midi if its the cool midi...may have to have some composers that did a better job than stock.
all i see music for is single player,its cool to have it back but i find myself turning it down to concentrate or doing what everyone else does put on a song that gets ya playing.
it just depends man,if u want combat to be a full fledge bne...or just make users download the install to make it singleplayer+music.
i would have to hear it though midi2wav that sounds better than original i would be game.
sit back and have a beer listen to this midi good composer

I mean... Never a retard midi composition will reach the real ochestral composition or warcraft II.
This game is 80% about the music, how the fuck i will feel my nostalgia with some retard old school cheap midi files.
The most pathetic thing about it is how tupac send another pack of war2music and il post this shit 3 days after.
What a fucking waste of time by il and lack of respect... It always gonna be the same, this retard staff have no creativity and just try to do exactly what other else already did ten time better.
Fucking bunch of crack head nerds with a total of 62 IQ.
What a stupid sHAME for this server, and you guys are still here losing your life for some crackhead who can barelly count 2+2 under 3 weeks.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

ahh someone posted some war2 checking his versus blizzards..post back later.. its pretty dam good!
lol they just got hobbies man lots of people just hang at the bar and talk about nothings..
well that dudes has pasted blizzards ..shame on him!!!
Glenn Stafford apparently distributed the original MIDI source files
https://gamemusic.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/warcraft-2-tides-of-darkness/
so bliz cant sue ru over them :o
i see what your saying eq, i see what il's saying also to try something different.
if u can somehow give the midis a little more reverb plus whatever magic they would be something of there on.
-
That is not because he give a midi version this is actually good.
Midi version is only a cheapper way to give the real composition and the notes for musicians.
Warcraft II music is compose by glenn but it was not playing and pruduced by him.
The original records is from an orchestra and worth alot of money.
Here the real Warcraft II records:
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGl4slGxY8U#)
Here the cheap midi Convertion:
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcFENnP8-8U#)
If you cant see how it sound toys and cheap compare the real one, then im sorry for you.

-
be great if someone would redo the midi them midi people :(

EQ for the sake of war2. Didn't you go to school for sound/audio. See if you can tweak all the sounds maybe better or make smaller. You can meet me in the mods section. At least you did something good before the game dies...

Yet your still here nearly everyday crying all the time. If that's not wasting your time, that's doing something. And you're not doing anything, other then wasting your time.

these midis are different from stock.

these midis are different from stock.
Hm, both war1+war2 files?
I saw that archive but didn't understand what files there are.
Original war2bne has 18 wav-files with music, original midi-archinve has 16, 2 of them are not equatable to these wavs.
This one is 19 - at least 7 war1 <= 12 files for war2...

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=59080813381513054154 (http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=59080813381513054154) 22khz dam sounds pretty good and can be stereo at 5mb with war2 songs!.
will work for anyone that makes tc's(me).
still be around 60mb all songs so its pretty big :/
stay with midis, im gonna test out your way,i can convert them to wav they sound pretty good!.
-
8) yeah man sounds great!!!! about 10-15 min convert time on this single core amd 2200+ good job!
if your just missing the bnets 2 songs, dos original are the best anyhow :)
-
yeah man sounds great!!!! about 10-15 min convert time on this single core amd 2200+ good job!
You mean my pack or anything other?
10-15 min is a long time, that requested 1 min or core i5 and about 5 min in core2duo 3000...
I'm thinking about original wavs from bne for combat however...
-
lol this is a 2002/3 processor wasn't bad but man them wavs still gonna bring up filesize • make another standalone full version just in case we get like a low bandwith nation that has like war2 holdays and shrines.
I like the midi approach very cool. it sounds different and cool 7mb add on that's can't be beat
-

Well, thinking about 2 different versions compiled at the same time: combat small (20-40Mb) and combat full (200-400Mb).
Need to look if several installers could be built simultaneously...

I thought for years about that midi2wav idea, i think i got the best possible from midi, but not sure it's enough quality reached.
-
they still have new stock for bnet for users that want it.wait we got shot gun and all his buddies driving the prices up! :P :P
midis are open source from the blizzman himself.
yeah id def have 2 versions.
