MIDI Package Enabler
by BlacKDicK

This tool is designed to do the apropriate changes on War3
to enable it to play MIDI sounds with maps.
This tool follow the procedure discovered by me some time
ago wich can be seen on
http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/s...&threadid=5336

Requires War3 version 1.0.1 at least since the changes are done
on War3patch.mpq. For your safety, it will backup the War3patch.mpq
as War3patch.mpq.bck. If you mess up with your War3patch.mpq and
with the backup, you can still use my W3 Reseter to restore war3
to version 1.0.0 and then aplly the latest patches.

Probably Scio will add suport to it on his next release of UMSWE.
For now, go to Sound editor on WE. Click on Import External Music.
Yeah I know, it will only let you import *.mp3 files. But if you type
*.mid there you will be able to import *.mid files.
Now you need to set the sound. It's better to wait some seconds
(3 for an example). Create a "Game Timer Elapsed" event and add
"Sound - use Daytime Ambience Theme" action with any parameter.
Add a "Play Music" action with your music variable as a parameter.
Now convert it to CUSTOM TEXT and change SetAmbientDaySound parameter
to "Roland". It will look like this when finished:

call SetAmbientDaySound( "Roland" )
call PlayMusicBJ( gg_snd_my_music )


Usage: Simple run it and follow the instructions.Requires SFMpq.dll.

Version: 1.0.0 (05/02/2003)
* Initial Release.

I also respect his achivement. His tool is easy to use for everyone. But I want to know what it exactly does. Am I right that it searches for gm.dls and adds it and the MidiFiles.slk to War3Patch.mpq?
