The Lobby / Re: Some findings?

« on: April 12, 2024, 20:14:24 »

Thanks Axxy for identifying this out  ! I wonder why several modules have different name labels while being the exact same song  , its not a rare occurrance...

Regarding the others, ACKER1.MOD turned out to be this one:
(spacetravelling - SPACETRA.MOD)
https://modarchive.org/module.php?54357

cgirl.mod is already present as country_girl.mod:
https://modarchive.org/module.php?120388

NSSPEED.MOD too is already present (I'm sure it wasn't there when I checked at the time... or maybe I just haven't searched properly  ):

As a collector of many things, I agree with you!

The sites I have checked are TMA, Modland, AMP and Kestra (also something on Demozoo), many modules that are not in TMA and Modland were in AMP and Kestra (for example: Delirion's Phantasm Forest, Loquacity, True Identity).

I too thought that this ACKER1.MOD was ackerlight-1, but no, it's a totally different song: the two ackerlight-1 on AMP are 01:48 and 00:08, ACKER1 is 03:04 long.

About the lookout mod, I discovered that is a slightly shorter version of desert dream-titel (https://modarchive.org/module.php?36889), but without most of the description, it only states "by laxity/kefrens 9" and " "desert dream" intrd".  Maybe is either the original, unripped version or a not definitive one?

My version of Freedom has 16 patterns, and one part of it was used in a module called False pride (https://modarchive.org/module.php?83482) with exactly the same tempo as this version. Also has no credits or description, the sample list is totally blank.

I'll upload them here as soon as I can, so they can be available for everyone (if they are accepted, of course )

Oh, I forgot about one more mysterious module: s2000 (S2000.MOD), this was featured in a Doom II megawad named MARSWAR, no info on author (just a list of samples). Seems to have been made with MODEDIT v2.00 according to WinMod PRO

Yep, they are indeed great tunes, didn't know there was a third one though...
Dr. Awesome sure made a lot of tunes, among these I recall 12th warrior, empty spaces 1 & 2, christmas spirit... There are a lot more that I still haven't listened and maybe other similarities may pop out

The Lobby / Some findings?

« on: March 27, 2024, 20:16:58 »

Hi to all!

While searching on the internet about some modules I downloaded many years ago, I found out that some of them are actually lost, since they doesn't seem to be hosted on any modules database site and search engines yield no results. Extending the search on the modules I got from old CDs, other seemingly lost ones popped out.

I would like to upload them here on TMA, so to preserve them and make them available to everyone  .

Here is what I found so far:

sam vs bottle (uncredited) (SAMBOT.MOD)
cgirl.mod (uncredited)

These above are among the very first modules I downloaded from the internet, back in the 2000s, when I searched about MODs on Google, and Modplug Central popped out. At the time it hosted several modules (and its where I discovered the existance of XM and IT modules, along with a new player, different and newer from the WinMod PRO dug out from an old shareware CD (which handled just MOD and S3M)).


Acker1 (uncredited) (ACKER1.MOD)  found on an old floppy, cannot find any info about this
n.s speed (uncredited) (NSSPEED.MOD)  found on the same old floppy, seems a MOD conversion of n.s. speed.stm hosted on Modland
lookout (by Laxity) (LOOKOUT.MOD)  found on a 1994 cd, this seems to be missing from every module database
jazzy work (uncredited) (JAZZY.MOD)  found on the same cd, no info on this
freedom (by Samplemixer?) (FREEDOM.MOD) same as above, this module is already hosted on Modland, but this version has a faster tempo

I'll let you know if I find something else.

The Lobby / Medleys or full songs?

« on: March 27, 2024, 20:06:41 »

Hi to all 

While listening to random modules, I stumbled upon a few ones, unusually longer than usual, which sound like medleys made of various modules.

This is what I'm talking about:

now what???:
https://modarchive.org/module.php?91523

now what ii:
https://modarchive.org/module.php?91376

Eurocharts-20:
https://modarchive.org/module.php?87266

Since the first part of now what ii is an altered pitch version of the module counter-measure (https://modarchive.org/module.php?42922), my question is: are these simply long modules, or multi-track medleys?

Help me find that... / Re: Looking for an old s3m file with several songs from a DOS game.

« on: March 27, 2024, 19:39:24 »

Judging by the description I think you are talking about In Pursuit of Greed / Assassinators:

- Is a shooter (FPS)
- Is from 1995/1996
- has multi-track S3M tunes in game directory

I don't recall any included players though... Maybe was featured in a different release than the one I have?
