hi to everyone....first of all i'm italian....so excuse for my bad english...i love this port so bad...i played the early versions of this port...after i stopped playing for a long time....now, in these days i tried to install an older version(i installed the ultimate 1.15.7 stable release too....with no problems...except 3D models and external music files), the version was 1.9.7.1....well...i downloaded folders with several numbers of files...but i not found a launcher or an executable file to launch a game....is the snowberry frontend miss for the older releases? where can i downloaded a launcher for older releases? what have i done wrong? thank for eventual replies! :-/

are you using the 2.0 builds if so thats why as you need to be using the 1.15 builds but if you are using the 1.15 builds look for a program called snowberry.

thanx for the reply....1.9.7.1 stable release's build is 439...it's old...anyway, i tried to looking for a snowberry's download section...or any other launcher....but there isn't...unfortunately! what can i do?

Gordon

it's included in the download look for the snoberry folder in the doomsday folder if you do not see it then you probably need to download the latest not 2.0 build.

dear Gordon ... I was wrong ... the old version was 1.8.6 ... and already has the executable ... yesterday I started this old version to a friend's house ... and I noticed that the textures are more beautiful (with resource pack, obviously) than the version 1.15.7, whenever I can, I will post some pictures .... anyway,I still decided to work on the latest stable version 1.15.7 ....because it supports stereoscopic view .... and because the last wads not work well with older versions .... however, I take advantage of your kindness to ask you some things .... I have a lot of horror music in MP3 format ... with version 1.8.6, I created a file audio.ded .... and it worked great as external music .... I tried to do the same thing with the latest version 1.15.7 .... but it doesn't work .... always remains the original music .. ..for if you know how to do it with the latest version? I have recently joined the forum .... maybe you could report a post where others talk about how to put the music in this version ...thank you so much for all the help you'll want to give me ....

your posting in the right place and as far as i know and have done my self. so long as your ded file is linking properly to the music for each of the songs you want to replace then it should all work. also too you need to set doomsday to use external files witch i think is the default. this is assuming you do not want to change the file names but if let say to had all the files names in doom format so for track one that you have for e1m1 then the file would be D_E1M1.mp3 and for that you would need to make a new folder in the doomsday/data/jdoom called music then you just put your files there and doomsday should load them automatically. you still need to have dday set to read from external sources or it will not work. here is the wiki link to the music ded structure. http://wiki.dengine.net/w/Music_%28DED%29

Hi gordon....thanx for the reply as always!
about music....I sang victory too soon...yes, the external music work...but with glitch noise...in this way it result inaudible... ( i tried other audio drivers from the snowberry's menu..but the result is white noise...i don't know what to do..
in audio game menu we can select music lumps instead of external music...could be the solution? i tried with my audio.ded file....but it doesn't work...sadness! (
about resource pack...we can get a different version of it?

Gordon

this is a known problem with encoding of the mp3 files best to convert them to ogg as they do not have that problem. for the resourcepack look on the forms if there is nothing then eternal sadness.
