Quake 3 Arena Weapon SFX (Skins Folder)

[Medicris]

Well, seeing as how simple skin folder sound mods to break monotony are apparently valid projects I guess, I might as well upload what I've been using for a while.

So basically, I've always been a fan of Quake 3, and since Skulltag was basically Doom + Q3 and they use a lot of similar weapons, I made a small Q3 soundpack for it way back then. You know, to match. It also includes some other minor things, like:

• Audible flying rockets and plasma (can hear enemy rockets and plasma flying in your direction if your hearing is good)
• Separate pickup sounds for health, armour, ammo, misc. carryable items and powerups (can hear what items players pick up)
• Separate chaingun sound for players and chaingunners

There's a version that's high quality bundled with PerKristian's HQ Doom SFX, and a version with only the changed sounds in vanilla Doom quality (11025hz 8-bit WAV) in case people don't always want HQ sounds in their 1993 Doom. Yes, I've actually been asked to.

HQ Q3 SFX + PerKristian HQ SFX

11.025Khz-Quality Q3 SFX only


Preview for lazy people (HUD not included, backpacks use ammo pickup instead of the sound in the video)

SSG sound is edited from the Q3 SG and Doom SSG. My apologies if it's not as "boomy" as or sounds like barf. Not completely happy with it, so for now, it's a release candidate.

Installation
Place into your skins folder in your Zan directory (Zandronum\skins).

Grabbed.

And I enjoyed your choice of preview video music.

:o these sound realy good might be a suitable replacement for the HD doom sounds wad that ive been using for a while.

*edit* ssg sounds fine imo

Backpack sound doesn't fit, it should be for Soulsphere IMO, and since Megasphere also uses the same sound it would be fitting. A glorious sound like that can't be fit for a backpack :p

Audible flying rockets and plasma (can hear enemy rockets and plasma flying in your direction if your hearing is good)

Lemme guess, a really really long DSRLAUNC? :p

SSG sound is edited from the Q3 SG and Doom SSG. My apologies if it's not as "boomy" as or sounds like barf, it won't go any louder ingame no matter how loud I have made it in an audio editor. I think Z& has some trouble mixing bass tones at proper volume, or something.

That's odd. I've never experienced this. It might be an FMOD issue although i'm not sure because from what I can hear, Zandronum has no limiter, and probably no custom EQ shape (that would be kind of pointless ... it's Doom ...).

Either way, nice pack. Would be nice to have hosted on an FNF in addition to whatever map pack gets voted on, maybe next week? *winks at Qent*

The "backpack sound" is for any miscellaneous pickups that are holdable instead of immediately used. Basically, anything that's not health, armour, ammo, or a "powerup". This means backpacks and other assorted permanent items, and that's the sound Quake 3 used for such "holdable items" like say, personal teleporters or personal medikits in that game. Besides, there's other things that use that sound, right?

... Right?

Oh yeah, and how about just giving the backpack a little more love, huh? Let's see you nerds BFG spam your way through whatever slaughterwad of the month without double ammo.

Soulsphere/active temporary powerup sound is from Q3's Megahealth (+100 HP, overhealing, pretty much a clone of a soulsphere) powerup, so that one's not even guesswork. Both sounds may not "fit" 100%, but they're the closest I could get to quack

Audible flying rockets and plasma (can hear enemy rockets and plasma flying in your direction if your hearing is good)

Lemme guess, a really really long DSRLAUNC? :p

Pretty much, but not excessively. It fades off after like, 2 or 3 seconds for the sake of the rare case where the rocket sound continues after it's already exploded.

Plasma too, but not as long or loud since they're fired in groups so that their sounds add up, and they always seem to do that thing where the impact noise is limited and the flying plasma's sound continues. Oh well, it gives a sort of "sizzling" sound if you're hitting something.

Not when there are maps that just hoarde it on one spot and you have to hear that epic sound SPAMMED. Guess how that feels?

Oh dear. I was almost certain pickup sounds limited themselves to not overlap.

Well, what should be used for misc. pickups then? Same as ammo, or something else?

Preferably something else, but if nothing works ammo sound should do just fine.

[Medicris]

Alrighty then. First post updated, simple replacement of misc. item pickup with ammo pickup.

[Ænima]

Pickup sounds shouldn't overlap, since they all play on the same channel. They always cancel each other out.

[Medicris]

That may be true, but I can agree with Ivan that it's really bloody loud if there happens to be a lot of them.

Most normal maps, singleplayer and PvP, don't. But slaughtermaps and invasion? Yeah.

Nice, Mirrored like a Boss

You know this gives me an idea, to make a Doom 64 SFX wad for the skins folder.

Hi i like quake3 and this sounds are cool. I use mainly sound for pick up items, heals, armors and cg sound. But i have problem with when i pick up more heal points in same time , the sound start "crackle" or there is no sound only when i take last heal point, there is no problem when i take armor shields or more items same time, sound is perfect. Anyone (medicris) know where can be problem? Thank you
