I got some its and s3m from here: http://www.mirsoft.info/
I was getting those samples too a while ago.

.it opens on milkytracker, which is easy to rip. Not sure about s3m, though.

(I saw some good samples on Cyril Cyberpunk)

Total success! I have procured all samples from the complete soundtrack, and they all work within FastTracker2! Now onto One Must Fall, which will take significantly less time because there are less songs.

Thanks for all the help people! I'll be working on a "This is my first song I hope you leik it" type deal with these resources soon enough! Back to the tutorials!

Well, so far I am able to save the samples of each song as .WAV, so that seems to be working so far. I'll get back to you if FT2 works with them or not.

i think you could just open the S3m in modplug, do Edit > Cleanup > Create Sample Pack, and then go to Song Properties (on the General tab) and change the song type to xm

then you will be able to open it in FT2 with all the same instruiments

MPT is a total success! Currently I have to save each sample one at a time from the songs, so it may take a while (unless I find a faster method).
So at some point I may upload these samples. But that won't happen until I escape the College Proxy in a couple months. So if I have to do it one at a time, I have to time to do it.

You could save the ST instruments and open them in openMPT.

btw, if I were you, I'd use openMPT or milkytracker. Your life will be a lot easier with these two guys.

Progress report: the song opens seemlessly into ScreamTracker 3 (not sure if I want to make the swap from Fasttracker to ScreamTracker, but I'll debate that later)

All of the instruments are listed in the tracker. The question now is how to transfer instruments from song-to-song...

you can open S3M files with milkytracker too !

you can open s3m format in schism tracker (multi platforms), modplug tracker (windows), scream tracker 3 (DOS), etc

Well, so far I have located a download of the ripped music from JJR and OMF, but the music is S3M format, whatever that means. So now comes the roadblock of whether I attempt to see if I can get samples off of these songs, or if I just hunt down alternative downloads.

let us hear from you man.

a fasttracker project on ms-dos 90's games samples sounds really sweet!

Ha, well it turns out that I had some settings in the tracker wrong, and my headphones are utter crap so I didn't hear anything. I need new headphones before I tackle any project in this program.

what format are these? can't you just convert them?

and yeah, JJR rules!

Awesome! I'll look into it!

This song was my inspiration for making '94 DOS-style music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWHu79H6kdM

Jazz Jackrabbit's music is in XM format (just rename the .psm files accordingly), so ripping the sounds from there couldn't be simpler. I suspect it might be the same for other Epic productions as well. btw JJ rulez.
