Hexen Graphics wad

Lumpy · Post by **Lumpy** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 4:39 pm

When making a wad of the graphics, and sounds from Hexen would I need to include the SNDINFO.lmp from Hexen also?

no(thats the simple answer)
but, if u want the sounsd, u need a file like this:

$ifdoom
//The demon
DemonSight sbtsit5
DemonActive sbtsit5
DemonPain minact1
DemonAttack dematk2
DemonDeath sbtdth3
DemonMissileFire impfire2
DemonMissileExplode impact3
//All the other monsters

You also need ALL THE FRAMES for every pictures else, when u spanw it, it will crash ZDoom

Ummmm, OK I'm pretty sure that is the SNDINFO.lmp that you are describing. Actually I'm possitive it is. The reason I even asked my original question is for several reasons. 1) I have Nigel's compatability fix wad. And I'm almost certain it has a sndinfo lump. 2) The ZDoom wad file has a sndinfo lump that defines all the sounds for; Doom/2, Heretic, and Hexen.

I just wanted to know if I needed to add the original sndinfo from the Hexen wad file.

Well, if Zdoom already has the sndinfo lump, I don't think you'll have to use another one. I'm not sure though, because my copies of Heretic and Hexen have not arrived, yet (got 'em off ebay), so I can't check.

the sndinfo in zdoom.wad only applies to doom/2 and heretic, as Hexen already has its own sndinfo (and is in fact where the format originated). so, rather than reinvent the wheel, zdoom uses that sndinfo when running hexen (as it should). so the answer is, yes, if you want hexen stuff to have sound, you need that sndinfo. Of course you don't need everything in it if you're only bringing over a couple monsters and some weapons, just the specific stuff you want to put into another game. it's pretty well commented so you shouldn't have any problems grabbing the proper entries

Just note that, if you want Hexen or Heretic goodies in a DOOM map, you will need to put the sndinfo entries for those goodies below this header

$ifdoom

Most sndinfo entries, like definition of sound names, ambient sounds, etc, go ahead of this entry ('least that's the way I always see it done).

Here's an example sndinfo from a doom2-based map with some Heretic stuff and a Hexen piggie too:

Owl owl

$ifdoom actually isn't necessary, I assume it's there to specify that all the sounds defined below it should only be used in the doom game I have a current map with a couple hexen enemies and all I've done is copy/paste portions of the hexen.wad sndinfo and shoved them into my own sndinfo and everything works fine (without $ifdoom)

Right. Unless your wad is intended to be played in Doom and Hexen then you don't need $ifdoom.

HotWax · Post by **HotWax** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 1:55 pm

Presumably if the wad was meant for Doom, people wouldn't be loading it in Hexen at all. Duh.

The only reason for $ifdoom (and $ifheretic) in ZDoom's base SNDINFO is because it's being made to support both games. The top section handles stuff common to both games, and then each game gets a section. To avoid conflicts (and their are conflicts) between the two, the $if sections tell ZDoom to skip that section if it's loading the wrong game.

For the purposes of making a PWAD, they shouldn't be necessary at all.
