Changing the default sound for doors
How can I change the default sound made by doors, without replacing Doom's sound effects? I know this is probably done with SNDSEQ, but I do not know and could not figure out how to assign the sound sequence to a door. And I wonder if a default sound sequence can be set for all doors to use.

So you just put the thing into the door's sector?

Re: Changing the default sound for doors
KappesBuur never mentioned any thing. If you red through sndinfo and espscially sndseq definitions, you'll find:
door <index>
Defines the sound sequence index for use as a door sequence. A door in this context is any sector movement by a 'Door' type or a polyobject. The index determines which sound sequence thing you have to place in the door sector to hear this sound sequence. Note that Hexen predefines the first 10 sequences so for custom sequences in Hexen the index must be larger than 10. Index must be in the range of 0 to 4095.

Does the same apply to elevators?
