Quake 2 Vanilla Everything Fix

Alright /vr/, brace yourself because this is a doosie. I have completed the ultimate addendum to the Quake 2 experience. Quake 2, vanilla, with the original executables, complete with repeating AND dynamic music PLUS dramatic musical pausing, and no graphical glitches. On Windows 7.

Step 1. Acquire the original game with it's executables (if you have the original disc, a lot of this shit will be alleviated), and try and get the official expansions as well. Rips are acceptable in this case, as that will be fixed.
Step 2. If you do not have the disc, get the music disc from here (it is just the music)

This zip comes with two of the expansions music as well as Quake 2's music. You can get mp3 files and such from these same forums, though the original executable does not read them, and .pak files don't repeat. Be sure to get the disc.
Step 3. Mount the music CD with your favoured tool (Daemon tools, PowerISO, et cetera).
Step 4. Now, there may be no graphical glitches for you, but when I run software mode, the only acceptable mode as opengl is ugly as piss, I do get graphical glitches (fucking rainbows). So you will want to kill explorer.exe (explorer.exe uses up the 16 bit color palette). Paste this little fuck into notepad and save it as a batch file (.bat).

@echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
echo Quake II + expansions
echo 1: Quake II
echo 2: Mission Pack 1: The Reckoning
echo 3: Mission Pack 2: Ground Zero
set /p userinp=choose a number (1-3):
goto %userinp%
:1
goto end
:2
set game%=xatrix
goto end
:3
set game%=rogue
goto end
:end
quake2.exe +set game %game%

Be sure to change "quake2.exe" at the bottom of your list to whatever your executable is (yes, sourceports will work with this too). That is all. Make sure you understand how to bring back up explorer, either by keeping open task manager during execution or opening task manager with ctrl+alt+delete then opening it, and then typing "explorer" into the "new task" section found in the "open applications" tab.
>bbut you can j-just add it into the bat file!!
If you did so, then the batch file would break because opening back up explorer would NEED to be at the end, and the user input routes to the end of the batch.
>then just use another batch file!!
A batch cannot detect whether or not a different batch has closed, therefore explorer STILL wont open. Having a desktop shortcut set to open explorer would work however.
Step 5. Little explanation here, Windows 7 changed a lot of shit, and in turn broke the repetition of music in certain games. This fix WILL work in other games that have the same problem. Now for the most terrifying night of your life. Installing an obscure Japanese file, an outdated music player, AND giving Quake 2 administrative privileges (the unholy trinity). Yes you will be able to remove Quake 2 privileges later.
First off, download these files (yes, these fucking files, the outdated player and all).
_inmm.dll ver. 2.38
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Domino/8282/
(as you not seething with nostalgia yet?)
I found this site sifting for a solution to this very problem. Here is the source of where I found it.

And WinAmp 2.95 (welcome back old friend).
http://www.oldversion.com/windows/winamp-2-95
Install WinAmp 2.95 (not real sure if newer versions will work).
Next, unzip _inmm.zip, and run the executable inside. Install to your Quake 2 folder.
Now, go to your Quake 2 executable, right click on it, go to properties, and give it admin privileges (at the bottom of the compatibility tab). You need to do this because otherwise you cannot write to your disc, and _inmmcnf.exe will give you shit.
Open up _inmmcfn.exe and change damned near everything on the first page to "WinAmp". Especially the CD-DA option. Add *.ogg into one of the selections and set to WinAmp for good measure.
Drag and drop your Quake 2 executable on top of the _inmmcfn.exe file, and click OK a shitton. The Quake 2 executable should now be patched.
Step fucking 6. That should really be it. Test it out by running the .bat file you created earlier and selecting your game with 1-3 and enter. Check if the colors are all good in software mode, and make sure your music DOES repeat. This solution should also give you the dramatic music pauses too.

Alternatively: use a sourceport (none of them are good for singleplayer). Enjoy yourselves.
