ReSOUND HERETIC

New Sounds for Heretic weapons and Foots.
Thanks to ZombieKiller and later to Xeotroid, I share with you a mod for the sound of footsteps for Corvus, I have modified the mod created by Xeotroid to adapt it to Heretic wad. Enjoy it.

ReSOUND HEXEN

---

A sound pack created from the Skyrim sound files, always trying to get as close as possible to the original sound so that it maintains its atmosphere. Sounds like taking mana or items I have used other sources that I don't remember. For the sound of the weapons I have been a little more creative.

*Old version
I give you thanks for your patience.
I present a job I did for my personal use and enjoyment, but I liked it so much that I decided to share it with anyone who wants to download it to enjoy it as I do: Subwoofer to the max!
Shortly after completing the work, I found the Xeotroid´s post, he also has a very good job with the sounds of Hexen (great work with ACS), besides that he has the best job with the music of this game.
I used mostly sounds Skyrim, I made effects that resemble the originals and not have the feeling that you're playing another game. Other sounds are my invention, I hope they are to your liking.
The work is not done. I want to rebuild the voice of Korax because I'm not able to remove it from inside the can (it is the fault of the 8 bits). I also want to add female voices for the main characters (anyone create the female sprites? . I also thought of completing the sounds of Wrath of Cronos, but perhaps in the near future, for now this is all.

I want to thank this community all their contributions, so I think appropriate to share this work.

I want to thank this big and awesome community,big and awesome Skyrim community, Raven, Id and Bethesda.
Clean your SUBWOOFER!!!

EDIT: Well, for better experience, use GZDoom 2.2 version ("The oficcial release") and your "SOUND BACKEND" in Sound Settings must be "OPENAL".
The hits sounds spectacular with this config!

[Captain J]

It sounds really interesting. Also i can hear some retrospective ones as well! Excellent work!

[Aethun]

Up!!

[Captain J]

You mean updated? If so, glad this thread is still alive and such. You've done a great job!

[DoomKrakken]

This is amazing!!! Finally, high-quality sounds for Heretic and Hexen!

Of course, some of these aren't based off of the original sounds, but they fit nonetheless!

I gotta run this with Guncaster and Trailblazer...

I gotta say, you did an awesome job with these sounds. While the quality is top-notch, Baratus's pain sounds from the video don't sound too much like a hit sound... they unfortunately sound more like someone pretending to get hurt...

[Aethun]

Thank you very much.

The work is still not finished, there are still the voices of Korax, to improve certain voices (unfortunately I agree with DoomKraken, but the sources have not given more, I have to keep looking), and as soon as someone is encouraged to do the female sprites of the protagonists, add the voices for these XD
The truth is that after listening to everything there is for Doom, I needed more sound banks for Hexen, and I hope I can do it for Heretic.

Thanks for the answers.
a cordial greeting

If possible, could you try to make a Perkiristan's HQ Doom Sounds inspired version where sounds are HQ but they sound exactly the same as default ones?
Just use Sound Ideas or anything, IDK.

Perkiristan's HQ Doom sounds link:
http://www.perkristian.net/game_doom-sfx.shtml

Remember, they have to sound exactly like the default ones. Sounds that aren't perfect but close enough are acceptable.

Edit: Seems that some of the sounds in Hexen isn't in Sound Ideas but a sound libary that no one or barely anyone knows about. I guess the best we can do is ask Kevin Schilder about the sounds in Hexen or something like that.

Sound design is not magic. Unless you can track down the exact source of the sound (which is not something usually documented), you cannot simply make a "high quality" version that sounds "exactly the same" as the default. At best you could get something that only vaguely resembles the original sound. What you're asking is a really tall order - we only have PK's doom sound pack because the Sound Ideas library was already extremely well known. Nobody has any idea where the Heretic and Hexen sounds came from, unless something's changed in the last 24 years.

[Captain J]

And ironically, i'm still trying to find some high quality sound effects used from certain old games like Heretic, Duke 3d, Hexen and more. However it's not really easy because of their obscurity and even if i found some them, they're always stuck in some sound library with rather high price. But the good thing is i can merge the old and new sound to make it a bit high quality... That doesn't mean i can take your request. Just saying that you actually can do the same thing as i do.

Maybe this will help to satisfy your needs though. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=53943

Oh, I see.

I was actually able to track down a few stock sounds that Hexen used, although from other games so sound quality varies. They're definitely stock sounds; not sure what library though. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=55871&p=988228&hil ... er#p988228

That's pretty great, I guess our only hope for an actual Hexen HQ sound mod is asking Kevin Schidler how he got the sounds from. If he's still around, that is.

[Panzermann11]

Hey, I just found this thread in the Doomworld forums with a Heretic HQ soundpack:
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/5 ... ed/?page=2


I realized some of the sounds in Heretic are from the Sound Ideas libary. Perhaps there's still hope for us...

[Aethun]

Wow! more sound banks!
Actually For Hexen I am using a mixture of my sounds with the sound bank of Xeotrid.

Small Update for the sound of the wand and the hellstaff. Heretic version.

[Aethun]

Up for your delight!
