Civ1 Music in MIDI? maybe MP3?

[Andz83]

did anyone make files of the tracks yet?

I would, but I never found out how to record sound events in DOS mode

I have ripped them out of the Mac version. I said that here . You just have to scroll down and you'll see this thread called At last, Civ soundtrack

For further information, email me. That's quicker than PM

You'll have quasi instant reply

yeah, found the thread, and I got your email! thanks, but that sounds like a few seconds per civ only

I'd like to have the complete tracks for each civ (diplomatic negotiations, palace building), and considering how large these files are, would you make those ones MP3s?

 

[GenghisK]

Nah, don't have enough time right now. But as I said, I ripped ALL the available sounds of the game. There's nothing else, at least in the Mac version.
And you could convert yourself those sounds into MP3. Lazy

if you somehow, somewhere find winciv on the net (and it is quite simple), all the sounds used in civ are there in wav format.
However, I still look for the image file format of civ1....

 

[GenghisK]

What do you mean by image file? Be more precise perhaps I can do "something" for you

And btw, I do have Civ for windows... hehehe.

 

[rouli]

I don't mean capturing the screen and saving the image; I mean it in a programming view, what is the format those guys used to save the images of civ1 to file?

 

[GenghisK]

Although I'm not 100% sure I understood well what you said but I think I guessed. Well, at least on the Mac version, everything is a "resource fork". Even the pics. So I can easily rip them all. Unfortunately, there are so many images to pick out...

Excuse my lack of mac knowledge, but does "resource fork" means that you can open a picture in a standard image editing program (as in photoshop) save them in another format (as in jpeg, gif) or even change them, so the graphics of the game are changed?

 

[GenghisK]

Your lack of Mac knowledge is forgiven

And excuse me for kissing your a** but you have done a big step on your way to the wisdom (of Mac world)

Ok, well, as you can guess, you are right. Totally right, fully right. These "resource forks" are **almost** like the registry entries but they are much more useful. Actually I shouldn't even take this example.
So as you said, you can export those forks to a picture processing software (Photoshop) and convert them into a picture. Did I answered your question?

Ok, waiting for another step in wisdom
