Good luck to anyone working with .j2b! I had a go once - there's a header for them in the modplug player or something, but nothing more than that (so it won't actually play them). Some technical info for those who are interested: the files have a header containing checksums and file length, and then everything after that is gzipped. What you get after ungzipping is basically a RIFF file, but with some differences (chunks other than LIST contain
other chunks, which threw off RIFFpad). I think I got somewhere with the basic format, but gave up. Search the jcf and you should be able to find what I managed.

With Unreal Tournament, XMPlay plays the .umx files natively (.umx is a container format usually containing a s3m or similar). With XMPlay you can feed the output to somehting like LAME or oggenc.

Ah, I remember the talks in the XMPlay forum when I was on the hunt for J2B support, and actually got as far as to have a former developer with the JJ2 source code promise to have a look at it.
Must have been well over a year ago and haven't heard from him since. :(

To be honest, a good rip out of the game itself with muted sound effects should do well for Jazz2 bonus and boss0 if this is supposed to be an audio CD.

I have no idea what you mean.

I mean using a program recording what plays from the lead out.

I have tyrian 2K. I'll ship you the songs once I get home from school.

JSZ Jazz: But why not just use the MODs? Except for the ones that don't have standard MOD versions.

N0body: I already have them. :P

Indeed, but there are no available Bonus2.j2b and Boss0.j2b mods AFAIK.

What the heck is boss0?

Best JJ1 music pack ever...

GOD, I wish people would read the thread.

Don't hold God's name in vain, foo.

I have stated four times I have the Jazz 1 music.

And there are differences between the mods and the j2b files. Ones I've noticed are the electric zap effect at the start of labrat is only in the mod, and most of the mods are lacking in proper looping info (they *should* loop to a couple of orders in, as opposed to the start of the track).

You can just add it in yourself, it makes no difference. For all we know the loop positions were hardcoded into the various levels.

The OEM module music files of the game are the same used in JJ2 1.20-3.
Except some are missing, that electric sound at the start of labrat you hear in LC music files is not heard in OEM version.
