Anyone have a HMP to HMI converter ?

I guess I should have mentioned what I actually need is a HMI file that plays nothing, complete silence. If anyone has that it would be enough.
I want to mute the in game music by replacing the original HMI music with silent HMI files, because the volume controls are broken, and deleting the files doesn't work on some computers.

Selecting no music device in the game's setup is no option..? 🤣

There is some bug that causes the game to not play other sounds if the music is disabled.

What game is it?

Then try an empty file or one that has the HMI header only (compare two files to figure out how long the header is).

Thanks for a clever suggestion. I tried it and it almost worked, but the game crashes when loading a save file. I deleted everything and left only "HMI-MIDISONG061595" in the file.

I think I will have to mess around with the code again.

Another option to try is selecting a MIDI output that technically works (so that SOS engine won't return an error or crash), but produces no sound. Like a MPU-401 interface with no MIDI module connected to it.

If everything else fails, here's HMI loader of foo_midi plugin: https://g.losno.co/chris/midi_processing/src/ … ocessor_hmi.cpp. I quickly looked through it, tried setting INTRO.HMI's track count to zero but the game crashes this way. So one must devise a more cunning way to create an empty HMI.
