Minidust: Nov 4, 2009; Keep bustin'

Could anyone point me to sound files (.wav or .mp3) of the classic Doom sound effects? I'd like to make my phone all :black101:

and use them as alert tones and such.

I downloaded Brutal Doom .15 and honestly, it's pretty disappointing. All the new sounds suck, the rifle and shotgun look way too similar, and I really miss the old secondary fire for the chaingun. Why does everything good have to change?

Nah, he's in the USA. He dumped his mail order bride (probably after she got her green card ) and now his current girlfriend is a game designer from Sierra back before they started sucking.

Are you sure she didn't just get too old for him? Their relationship was a little weird.

I have been disappointed for months in Brutal Doom. They took away my gently caress YOU. (The good one, I mean.)

Yeah, it's like they just distorted it so it doesn't sound like Samuel L. Jackson anymore. Very disappointing.

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!

Wouldn't it be possible to unpack the mod and change the sound file around?

I think you can extract the old sound file, pack it into it's own .pk3 file, then make it so that the old sound effect .pk3 is loaded after Brutal Doom is loaded.

The new secondary fire gives it more use. Most of the time when you needed extra rate of fire you had to ditch it because you couldn't move, and if you didn't need to move is because you had enough range, so most of the shots would miss making other weapons a better choice.

A thing that i agree is the old 'gently caress YOURSELF' sound was better but everything else got better in my opinion.

I really like the changes to the minigun. The old altfire was very un-Doomish. Locking yourself in place for accurate burst-fire? Doesn't really feel right. The new one is the opposite - sacrifice accuracy for faster bursts on the move, and makes much more sense in context.

The initial burst of bullets from a primary fire attack will be far more accurate still, which is nice.

I hate the new sound effect for taking damage. What's it from, Doom 64?

You're not even running the games via Steam - you're just taking the main data WAD files from them to run in GZDoom. So yeah, everything is compatible.

The super-simple version:

Get the latest version of GZDoom. Unzip it.
Copy the WAD files from Final Doom, Doom 2 + Expansions into the GZDoom directory.
Get Brutal Doom for GZDoom. Put it in the GZDoom directory too.
Drag & drop the Brutal Doom.PK3 file onto GZDoom.exe

And now you're playing.

Alternatively, get a launcher like Quickly Launchering GZDoom (I think linked in the OP?) to set up mod load orders.

Forget about zDoom and use either GZDoom or Skulltag. I prefer GZdoom for single player but i have a skulltag one ready to play with goons).

Just follow Dominic White's instructions and you're set.

Zero Star: Jan 22, 2006; Robit the paranoid blogger.

What's the general consensus on the IDE vs Doomseeker debate? I've always found IDE more user-friendly, but I've heard lots of murmurs on the internet about how Doomseeker is 'better', although they don't usually explain why. Also, are they the best server browsers available, or is there a decent third option that I don't know about?

# ? Mar 25, 2012 23:01

QwertySanchez: Jun 19, 2009; a wacky guy

Once you set up all the directories for Doomseeker it's pretty useful, just double click on any game and it automatically searches a list of sites to download any IWads you don't have, and then loads it all up and connects for you. Regardless of base game and engine port.

I've not used IDE though..

# ? Mar 25, 2012 23:48

Catalyst-proof: May 11, 2011; better waste some time with you

I would very much like to join everyone in some Brutal Doom co-op or something, but it doesn't appear the OS X version of Skulltag works with Lion, and I don't appear to be able to hand-enter an IP address into Doomseeker. How would I go about joining one of the servers that have been bandied about?

# ? Mar 26, 2012 01:47

see you tomorrow: Jun 27, 2009

I've had a lot more luck actually getting servers to even show up in IDE than I have in Doomseeker. They're pretty much identical though. They can both find and automatically download wads for you.

So I finally got around to trying out the AMC TC. How do I get it to unfuck the HUD so that it actually shows me what weapons/ammo/keys I have, rather than flashing it up for a second when I switch weapons?

I changed Brutal Doom 0.15a with Dominic White's fix for the torch sound bug for GZDoom, i didn't touch my skulltag version because that would need all goons running the same file.

All i had to do (surprisingly) was to unzip BD 0.15, delete gently caress.ogg and extract the gently caress (no extension) from BD 0.11, then add the extension .ogg. Zip it again as a pk3 file and it works! :haw:

This is basically what I know from quake 1/2 and doom 3 mods so i guess its all the same.

A pleasure!

Just played two levels of DTWID again with the old voice and found myself spicing the game with 'gently caress YOURSELF' every time an imp tried to hold his guts or a zombie crawled around. I stopped doing this when Sgt Mark IV changed it to the current soulless generic one.

I remember back when pretty much every mappable FPS game would spawn legions of those cheapware CDs packed with maps, one of them had mine on it. The company sent me a free copy of the software as thanks for giving them permission. I imagine they gave free copies to every mapper they included, but it was still badass.

I wonder if there's any way you could send me that file. I'd love to check it out.

Don't know if I really should be circulating this information, but hell, it's on topic: Brutal Doom's gonna have a full player sound overhaul with 100% original voice acting. (By somebody with a good microphone and talent [it's me, I'm the guy] so don't worry.) Also in the mix is a taunt system which I imagine will work kind of like Duke Nukem 3D. Don't know if it'll be in .16, but yeah.

It might not be Danny Glover but it'll be a hell of a lot better than the muddy, grainy yelling that's in there now.

Y'know what? Brutal Doom just needs to make that a console command.

"Impulse Glover" to get the original 'gently caress YOURSELF!'. You can bind it to a key and use it at any time!
