Doom 3. One of the best games I have ever played, but some of the sound effects are terrible, or terribly annoying. (omfg that sentry bot is annoying)
A footstep or punching a soda can is the same volume of a machine gun or pistol! Thats just one rediculous example of what encouraged me to create this sound mod.
For over 80 hours I've been working on a total sound overhaul mod for Doom3. you just drop it in your Doom 3 base folder and load up the game! It will not conflict with any other mods you may be using unless they are also a sound modification.
In a few more hours, possibly up to 3 more working days it will be complete.
A complete dynamic sound overhaul for Doom 3 that replaces .. i think im up to about 200 sounds now!
most sound mods only change about 10-30 sounds!
I've meticulously gone through every sound effect in the game and used powerful audio editing tools to transform this game into an epic warzone. From weapons to monsters, to item pickup sounds, to menu sounds and beeps and blips.
The plasma gun, pistol, rocket launcher and explosions alone made all this work worth it. Theyare nothing short of the latest hollywood movie quality sound.
The plasma projectile sound i got by taking the bfg projectile sound, reversing it, lowering the pitch and a few other tweeks. You will be in awe when you fire some rockets into a room of demons.
My goal is to have every sound in the game perfect.
If i couldn't find a suitable replacement sound I just tweaked the current sound for now by modifying the volume, pitch, length, frequency, also by cutting and pasting parts of other sounds.
I can't wait to share it with you so im going to release it ready or not as version 1.
You have to remember that it can take a while to change each sound. there are about 700 sounds in this game im guessing. its sometimes overwhelming finding where a sound goes. (it took me a week to find where they hid the footsteps, sentry bot, security armor pickup sounds) By now I know by memory where most things are located. :thumbs:
I must tell you that this is something to get excited about. Every sound effect in the game will have you screaming "***K YEA! THATS WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE" or at least i do
I will put a link on my signature for a direct download as soon as I write a Readme file out for it. Credit goes to about 10 sources which i grabbed sounds from, along with sounds from a professional game sound contractor that did sounds for gamecube metroid games and more.
Also I did hundreds of resamples in the wonderful OGG vorbiz format which uses a fraction of the memory of WAV files. This isn't one of those memory hog sound mods that take up several megabytes of RAM. Nearly every sound sample uses the same or less memory than the sounds that came with the game and is of optimal sound quality.
this is going to totally eclipse any other sound mod for Doom3. Its been tedious, but well worth it! It literally makes it like a brand new game.
After I finish with this mod I will upload it for you guys so get your DOOM 3 game installed!
My next project will be to attempt to alter some of the colors of the graphics in the game. ..the green mechgun should be black don't you think?
Stay tuned.
