Deathkings music

All the music in Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel is re-used from Hexen, albeit the tracks are used in a different order, and some tracks that had gone unused in Hexen are utilized in some of the levels. The tracks were composed by Kevin Schilder. MIDI music requires installing a to be heard, as version 1.0 of Deathkings does not contain a SNDINFO lump associating each level with a song. The MAPINFO lump (which indicates CD track number) and the SNDINFO lump have not been synchronized, so most of the CD tracks do not correspond to the MIDI tracks.

Applying the Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel CD music patch
 Install Hexen using DOSBox via one of the following methods:   If you are mounting a physical CD within DosBox, type the following commands and press enter after each one: z: mount d d:\ -t cdrom d: install c:\hexen Note: If your physical CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive is not the D drive, change d:\ to the drive letter your system uses. For example, if your CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive is the E drive, change d:\ to e:\ instead. The first d after mount is needed because DOSBox looks for the first optical disk drive starting at letter D. If you are mounting a BIN/CUE pair, type the following commands and press enter after each one: z: imgmount d path\to\hexencuefile.cue -t iso d: install c:\hexen Note: Changing to the Z: drive is required by DosBox first when mounting either ISO files or BIN/CUE pairs.     If the version of Hexen you previously installed is 1.0, run the Hexen upgrade patch in the Hexen Deathkings installer in DOSBox. If you have already installed Hexen 1.1, skip step 2 and proceed to step 3.  Install Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel itself using DOSBox. The default folder will be but you can change this to whatever you want.  Outside of DOSBox, go to and download  from one of the given links on the right side of the page.  Extract both and  from  into your newly created Deathkings directory. If you used the default Deathkings location, you will now have and  in this directory. If you used another location, place these two files in the Deathkings install folder you previously designated.</li>  Back in DOSBox, go to the Deathkings directory the installer created, type the word "patch" without quotes or capital letters, and press enter.</li>  The patcher will run and update to version 1.1 and you will now be able to play Hexen's CD music correctly within DOSBox. (Now would also be a good time to back up if you have not already done so).</li>  To mount Hexen's CUE file within DosBox for proper CD Music playback, switch to the Z: drive first, then use the first command for physical CDs or the second one for BIN/CUE files:   -or-</li>  </li> </ol> Note: Hexen's CD is a mixed-mode CD, so the CUE file must be mounted first before running Deathkings of the Dark Citadel. While still in DOSBox, go to your c:\hexen folder and open setup.exe. In the setup menu that appears, select "Choose Music Sound Card" and then the option "CD Audio". Press Enter to accept the changes. If this option is not set, Hexen will not play the mounted CD audio files from step 8.</li> Back at setup.exe's main menu, press Escape. When it asks "Quitting to DOS - Save Settings?", select "Yes" and press Enter. If you select "Save Parameters and Run Hexen" instead of pressing Escape, setup.exe will launch the base Hexen game and not Deathkings of the Dark Citadel.</li> Now return to your c:\hexendk folder and run hexendk.exe to play Deathkings of the Dark Citadel. </li>

To reiterate: Within DOSBox, you must mount the CD audio, set the "CD Audio" option under "Choose Music Sound Card" in setup.exe, and then run 'Deathkings of the Dark Citadel''. If these steps are not followed, Hexen's CD audio will not play. </ol>
