I compiled Vavoom-1.24 using the SDL development libraries. It is installed and running under Mandriva Linux 2007.0. I am presently using Vavoom to run DOOM2.WAD v1.666 (this WAD was downloaded from an abandonware site; I do not have the game CD). The game plays very nicely, but 'gimme music', please. To keep things simple, let me ask two questions to begin this thread. I will probably have more questions later on. 1. Can somebody point me to documentation that covers getting music to play? I have the 'TiMidity++2.13.2-15mdv2007.0' RPM package installed, but I notice that the console output contains the lines: timidity init failed timidity.cfg no such file or directory when the game loads. I have the file '/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg'. 2. What is the correct run command to load and run ETERNAL.WAD (the WAD for Eternal DOOM)? I got through the first two levels with no problems, other than some missing or misaligned textures, but level three crashed with regularity, making it unplayable. I would like to hear from someone who is playing Eternal DOOM successfully and what command line parameters they are using to run it. Right now I am thinking that I will need DOOM2.WAD v1.9 to run modified games. Correct me if I am wrong. Despite these little problems, which most probably are of my own doing, due to lack of information, I have to say that Vavoom is an awesome piece of programming work. It makes me very glad that the old days of MS-DOS are gone and forgotten.

Alternatively i can use enhanced music in OGG formay, just make sure to compile Vavoom with Vorbis support, and download vmusic-* archive. [quote="skyhawk":1tdn4nvf] 2.
