.XM and .IT file formats

[Mangled*]

With regards to the music and weather tracks in Soldat\Sfx\Modules

Does anybody know of a program or method of converting .wav to .xm format?

I've tried one or two programs which use .xm format but they're very complicated and  won't import .wav files.

I even looked through some of Soldat Forums archive and found discussion about it, in the thread for a metal slug mod. HulluMurhari had managed to convert some metal slug music to .xm format.

Also if anybody knows of a program which can convert .wav to .it then that would also be most helpful.

Exactly what I wanted to ask. So I have one problem fixed.

Well don't mention it, Dairy.

What do you mean ? ...and what is that very big something ?

With xm and it you can actually multitrack things. It'd be better to create a longer stretches of ambience using multiple (shorter!) ambient samples and layering and fading them. If you do it well you get similar results with far smaller files.

A little something I call.. Soldat Enhanced v2 (which is suffering from very minor delays due to short attention span)

Thats not good. Im planning to make Soldat Upgrade mod after I release BF2 which is already finished. But who knows I quess I will end my modding (...hmmm , carreer or whatever I could call it) right after the BF mod.

There's nothing wrong with that... there's already loads of Soldat Remakes.. 1 more won't hurt and a little variety is nice.

Soldat Advanced / Soldat +
Neo Soldat
Soldat Evolved
Soldat Enhanced
Soldat Reborn

And anyway your style of weapons are very distinctive which is a great thing.
