[ UMXblu v1.1 ] [ 12/2/02 ] ----------------- Main Programmer: Matt Brady (dj@blufiresoftware.com) Graphics/Interface: Hanson Jiang (blufire20@blufiresoftware.com) ----------------- [ www.blufiresoftware.com ] ¥What is this? Unreal Tournament and Deus Ex both use the .UMX file format to store music. Unfortunately, these files are not playable by normal audio player apps. UMXblu converts these .UMX files into a readable format. ¥How do I use it? -You can add files to the conversion list by one of two methods: 1) Click the "Add..." button (command-O) and choose a .UMX file. 2) Drag one or more .UMX files onto the list in the middle of the window. -You can also use the "Remove" and "Remove All" buttons to clear files from the conversion list. -Once you have put all the files you want in the conversion list, click the "Convert..." button (command-R) to start the conversion process. -Keep in mind that you can stop the conversion process at any time by pressing command-period. -After all of the files have been converted, you will find them in the "Converted Items" folder in the same location as the original .UMX files were. ¥Uhh, that's great, but how do I play the .it, .s3m, or .xm files it generates? -There are a greater variety of options for this step. To open these files, you'll need an application such as Player Pro, SoundApp, or something similar (both of the apps I mentioned are probably on versiontracker.com) -From there, you can either play them from those apps or convert them to a more universal format such as MP3, AIFF, or WAV. ¥What else do you have planned? -If there is demand for it, I'll consider adding support for playing (or maybe even converting) .it/.s3m/.xm files from directly within UMXblu. -Conversion of .it/.s3m/.xm files back into .UMX format so you can replace the songs you listen to in UT with some of your own. ¥How can I contact you? Please, if you have any feedback/questions/suggestions/comments/rants, send them to us at letters@blufiresoftware.com. Please let me know what you people are thinking so we can continue to improve UMXblu! ¥Version History 1.1 - 12/2/02 ¥ Improvements in UMX (.it, .xm, .s3m, etc.) converting. ¥ Now converts UAX files (.wav, etc.) (Note: UMXblu is now able to convert ANY Deus Ex/Unreal Tournament audio file, except .dx mp3 files.) ¥ General optimizations and bug fixes. ¥ Invalid files are now reported more accurately. ¥ Improved status reporting. 1.0 - 6/11/02 ¥ Initial Release. ---------------------------------- 2002 Blufire Software www.blufiresoftware.com
