heyas

i always see people posting huds/charsets/textures and the like
but no one has made any sound replacements (afaik)

i tried to make a pak that replaces the weapon/item/player sounds
they are from quake2/quake3 plus some others i found somewhere else

unfortunatly, quake1 has problems with high quility and high pitched sounds
so i had to really modify them to make them sound half decent. and even after that they dont sound all that great compared to the originals =/
so tell me what you guys think

theres a few sound paks about like this

e.g.
http://www.stay.dsl.pipex.com/qsrp.htm

cheapalert did one too

oh cool 44khz sounds thanks

the point of my pack tho was to have stuff sound different

Here's a great project, that's never been finished.

http://www.mindabuse.com/mindgrid/audio/quake/

has anyone tried e-mailing him?

Not recently, at least not me. I left feedback using that 'feedback' function on the page when i first downloaded it 2 years ago or so. He even showed up on the old qw.nu forums, and said that he may finish it sometime, or something along that line if i remember correctly. I think he just lost interest in it.

the mindgrid-audio quake project is very nice.. maybe someone could continue this work
do we have any audiophiles around?

wow thats pretty nice i hope someone takes over for it

i don't think its a 'do we have any audiophiles?' situation.

its more like, do we have anyone else who has access to huge amounts of commercial sound effects libraries?

I spoke with Romero about this and he said

I'm pretty sure on kteamsPro servers you can set your "sex" to be female and you'll get chick sounds.. kinda cool for a change

yes you can

Here is mine. its a compilation from Q3 and Q1 Sounds. I tried to change QW Sounds so it sounds not that hardcore old and loud.
Tell me what u think!

aint there more sound packs then those mentioned above? I don't like the sound of the RL on those...sounds like a shotgun.

cheers

Why not use the original (44khz) source sounds?

original? weren't the original 22khz? :/
but there's a soundpak with 44khz sounds

yes they were a mix of 22khz and 44khz with the 22khz samples doubled up to get to 44hz, for less strain on the interpolation processing I think.

The vast majority are 11khz, 8bit.
The following are 22khz, 16bit.

weapons/lhit
weapons/lstart
fish/death
fish/idle
boss2/sight
boss2/idle
boss2/death

There may be more 22khz or higher files, this is just from a quick check based on file size.
So according to Nyquist theorem, your speakers don't need to reproduce frequencies above 11khz to hear Quake in all its glory!

does anyone have the 72% normalized pack from this site?

yeah, i do

I found a mirror here

wow, i made this thread over a year ago

iv just produced another soundpack, WAY better then the one i posted last year
i didnt have to reduce the quality of the sounds to make them work like before

iv tested this with ezquake, and it can handle all of them
HOWEVER... these are much louder than the original quake sounds, so make sure your volume isnt turned up high

the sources for these sounds came from:

Quake2
Quake3
Quake4 (most of them)
Doom3
Hexen2 (freakin amazing teleport sounds)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (like one sound heh)
Some i have no idea where they came from :p

EDIT: Link http://xtyfe.tastyspleen.net/soundpack.7z

updated the pack

redid shotgun sound
added ax related sounds
added ambient sounds

same link

EDIT: fixed, it seems it didnt upload right

The requested URL /soundpack.7z was not found on this server.

hmm? not sure what happened
ill see if i can fix it

EDIT: done

I could download the file but I wasn't able to open it using tugzip, winrar or 7-zip.

i used 7-zip to compress it, there shouldnt be a problem
i can re-upload it as a zip then. just so everyone can use it without issue

EDIT: uploaded as a zip

You need to edit the URL pasted here to ZIP as well. I'm checking out the pack right now!

opps sorry about that

player sounds

Been looking through a few thousand sound files and then started cutting, copying and pasting.

I was bored, so "SO SUE ME".

whoa, those are nice. whered they come from
