AWSUM SOUNDS Ver. 100.1
Here we are at last this all started weeks ago when I first heard
the Not.For.Kids.zip replacement sounds. I loved them, but I thought that
I would like a shot at my own set of sounds. Well after many downloads from
the alt.binaries.sounds News Readers and also many ftp's form ftp.uwp.edu
I finally began my work. My objective was to create something not only
humorous but also something a little serrious. So many of the sets of sounds
I downloaded seemed very narrowed into one area (ex. The Simpsons & Monty
Python). So I decided to make a varied set of sounds. I hope I achieved
that. Any way I owe much credit to the following for borrowing some of their
sounds:
Bill Neisius (for dmaud, without it, we could never do this)
bill@solaria.hac.com
Cluster@Neosoft.Com for Not.4.Kids
and all the sound composers of:
Doomsnds, Python, Sally, Silly, Weird, and Ash.
I hope that covers all the credits. If you feel that I left you out
than you can put your name here to.
Here's The Instructions:
#1 You got to have the doom.wad file or doom1.wad (shareware) file in with
this stuff. Or you can always move all of this AWSUM stuff over to your
Doom! directory. I think that if you are messing with the shareware sounds
you may get some error notifications b/c sounds #50 - 61 don't exist for you.
But it should work still.
The fastest way is to run SAVEORIG.BAT and then AWSUM-IN.BAT. I silenced this
process so that you get the full suprise when you start the game (no spoilers)
If for some reason you don't like the sounds, they become boring, or you just
miss the old ones (I sometimes do) just type run RESTORIG.BAT to restore the
original sounds. If you really love these sounds, as you should, and you want
to add them to you windows or whatever you can make them into .wav's using
sox7dos.zip or any other converter from .raw to .wav.
Of course here is the slow but fool proof method of putting AWSUM sounds in.
(thanks to Not4kids)
DIRECTIONS
There are a couple a ways of doing this, but here's what I suggest:
a. Copy DOOM.WAD (yep, that TEN Megabyte file) into a temporary directory.
b. Unzip these files into that temporary directory.
c. Run AWSUM-IN.BAT
d. Rename DOOM.WAD in your DOOM directory to SUMTHIN.ELSE.
e. Copy/Move the DOOM.WAD in the temporary directory to your DOOM dir.
f. Delete everything in the temporary directory.
g. Play Doom as abnormal, enjoy.
h. If you don't like the new sounds (YEAH, RIGHT!) copy SUMTHIN.ELSE to
DOOM.WAD then delete SUMTHIN.ELSE.
Anyways, enjoy my efforts and remember someone failed a CHEM test for this!!!
(everything about this game is adicting, isn't it????)
Thank you Thigh Master&
