Trying to customize my classic doom experience

Post by Legend »

I'm trying to customize my experience when playing doom a little. I've already figured out how to add the brightmaps and lights. Added the Legacy of suffering blood splatter decals, smoother weapon animations, and psx sounds thanks to some helpful doomworld and zdoom forum members. I"ve mostly just been ripping the resources from other wads. I'm very new to editing as well.

I was also looking to add footsteps, gibbing, and shell casings. Not sure where to find these or how to add them yet. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've tried doom enhanced, but it was a bit too much. I really didn't like a lot of the new item pickup sounds. Still not sure if I like blue/green blood for the cacodemon/baron. And I don't like the monster footsteps. Just makes too much racket.

Also, I can;t seem to get the psx hud to work along side with the pk_weapports smoother weapons.

So, I'm pretty much asking if anyone knows where I can get/how to:

*good sounding Footsteps/splashes

*Shell casings for the standard doom/doom 2 weapons that will work with the smoother weapons mod.

*How to extract the gibbing code from doom enhanced.

*How to get the pk smoother weapons mod to work correctly with the psx hud from the psx doom tc.

I'm using the latest version of gzdoom.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Beautiful DooM seems to work well enough for me. :|

If I'm not mistaken, it does away with monster footsteps and it has smooth weapon animations including shell casings. It also uses [read: stole] a lot of effects from Doom Enhanced.

I realize that it's not exactly what you asked for, but if it can save you some trouble, why not? Try the latest Beautiful DooM and see if it suits your approval. :)

Thanks. I have tried beautiful doom. It does do most of what I want. Only a few things I don't like. I'd rather have the original chainsaw, plasma gun, and fist. There are also a few new sounds I'm not too fond of. Also, it doesn't seem to load the legacy of suffering blood splatter decals wad that I made when I load beautiful doom at the same time.

Don't like the new Lost soul either.

Not sure yet how to edit out the stuff I don't like.

I'm not sure if it would be permitted to just upload a modified copy of the wad -- but I tell you what. If you PM me then I'll see about fixing a modified copy of Beautiful DooM with the new chainsaw, plasma gun, lost soul, and fist removed just for you.

I'm not sure what can be done about the blood decals, though.
