Fun Fact- The little ditty(not the zone theme, this one kicks in near the tunnel entrance/wiz spire area) they play in north ro is alot like the beat to a classic rap song. By one Nelly on the Country Grammar album: Greed, Hate, Envy.

Anybody know how to properly do this in WinXP without having to butcher registry keys to remove WFP?

I have your soundfont in my drivers folder but EQ sounds exactly the same as before. Any ideas?

Hmm. Well it should have worked for you too. Remember, there is no reverb anymore, so you still don't get that. Only the instruments change.

I just updated my custom sound font to fix a few issues with certain songs that were using drum channel 56 for SFX instead of a drum.

I have been trying to replace the "gm.dls" file with the new one downloaded from Xevin's link, but everytime I delete / overwrite my old "gm.dls", the computer generates a new one.
This makes it impossible for me to put in the new "gm.dls" that Xevin provided.

Anyone know how to prevent this from happening?
I am using windows XP and am on the administrator account

I am having the same problem. Any ideas on how to get this to work with XP?

Upgrade to a newer OS? :-p.

I don't have any XP machines to test....works on both Vista and 7 though I have tested.

Xevin,
Do you have a download link available which has all of the re-rendered MP3's in a single file? Clicking through each song to dload them off of 4shared will take a while! :-) Thanks!

I'm actually in the process of checking through every song there is in EverQuest and removing duplicates, making sure the sound font played them correctly and labeling alternate versions of songs. Eventually I'm going to put up a download link with the complete EverQuest Soundtrack. The ID3 tags will contain information like where a certain song played or what it was used for.

Sorry it's taking a while, but there is A LOT of music in EverQuest. I put up the 4shared link so people could listen to it easily and sooner.

Once I'm done, I'll ZIP is all up put the ZIP up for download and have a bunch of mirrors for it too.
