* TFMX a (non-MOD) format used by Monkey Island 1. There is a [http://freshmeat.net/projects/tfmx-play/ player] for it already, which is written in rather poor C, also it misses several macros implementation. [http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=tfmx This] documentation may be useful, it isn't complete though. If you don't have the Amiga version of Monkey Island 1 you can use the [http://quick.mixnmojo.com/demos/mi1amigademo.zip demo] of Monkey Island 1. The main objective of this task is to write a TFMX player with all the effects and macros needed by the Monkey Island music tunes. Work can be based on the original - uncommented - replayer routine disassembly (Motorola 68k). | * TFMX a (non-MOD) format used by Monkey Island 1.

''Technical Contact'': [[User:Kirben|Travis Howell]] | |||
''Background:'' | |||
The Elvira 1 (DOS), Elvira 2 (DOS), Waxworks (DOS) games of the AGOS engine use the [http://adplug.sourceforge.net/library/entry.php?file=db/AccoladeMidi.txt Accolade MIDI] format for music. The current parser (see engines/agos/midiparser_s1d.cpp), is based off looking at the music in the DOS Floppy Demo of Simon the Sorcerer 1 (Which was based Waxworks engine) and guess work. The current code frequently crashes when changing locations in Waxworks, due to invalid MIDI data been passed along. | |||
''The Task:'' | |||
Updated the current parser, to completely support the [http://adplug.sourceforge.net/library/entry.php?file=db/AccoladeMidi.txt Accolade MIDI] format used by these games. There are already comments in the current code, about where each additional MIDI event is triggered in the music of these games. | |||
