credit id for a sample from Doom in the Mellon Collie album notes. It's the rocket explosion sound and appears on the track XYU.

Amazing?

God, Billie Corgan is a twat. 

And what's up with the Ogre in Quake and the Pig Cop in Duke Nukem 3D making the same/similar sounds? 

most of the sounds that are in doom/quake are from a very popular sound sample CD. 

If you browsed through some of the older Emu or Fairlight soundbanks, you'd find a wealth of used sounds.

They were both early samplers that had a number of add on carts and discs, and still do, but my guess is that Bobby Prince probably had either an Emu or a Fairlight and that's why those sounds seem ubiquitous -- because that was pretty much the only game in town for people who didn't want to do foley recordings themselves back in the day. 

or even a number of people did updated sounds for quake - paks, used the original 44 khz 16 bit sounds from the libraries. The shaft for example sounds a bit different, it was fucked up a bit in the conversion in quake. (didn't q1test have better sound?) 

Several original doom .midi's are actually 'covers' of metal songs. There was a list at doom3world I read ages ago I've never been able to relocate, so if anyone knows where that can be found I'd be eternally grateful for several hours.

Thanks for the review ! I'm glad you enjoyed the map ;) 

Thanks for the reviews. You rock!
Keep it going! 

I remember at least 2 of them were Alice In Chains songs. 

an mp3 named "bobby prince is a filthy thief" that explains a lot. :) 

Thanks for the reviews! Keep up the good work!

JPL: i liked your map a lot, good atmosphere, and i think your previous map was even more atmospheric. :)
Hrimfaxi: thanks
Ankh: replied to your an email, and i changed the download link for you as you asked. 

I know, CDA was better visually than Event Horizon... However, it is not the same map style (i.e. medieval vs base) and I have to admit I'm more comfortable with medieval stuff: I'm maybe more inspired by medieval theme than other themes...
OTOH, I read the review you posted today on your website, and I found it very good. Also, I found very cool the fact you didn't mentionned explicitely CyberDemons existence: you let the surprise to new players, even if Doom reference is given, and I found it a good idea.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the review. 

the best result I got was a cached site... looks pretty complete:

if that doesn't work I got there by searching for 'doom midi "them bones"' on Google and it was the 4th result.

Wow... first sounds like Metallica - Kill Them All 1st album... all my youth..... :) 

Anyone got the .svg of the Quake-Q? Moondrunk or Up2nogood made it. Please send to my email address 

Yes you can use the textures and yes you can have the crates. please be on the internet for more than six minutes a day and I'll gladly deliver them. 

for anyone interested, this is the sound library that a lot of doom and quake sounds are from:

and incidentally, thanks for posting the links to the doom songs with their realworld sources. :) 

my site url changed to necros.planetquake.gamespy.com (from planetquake.com/necros), and when i upload new files, i can't access them anymore, even though i can see them in my ftp client... what gives?

i've noticed other pq sites, like underworldfan's haven't had a changed url... anyone on pq know what's up? 

I know that PQ is going through some unknown metamorphosis. I'm not sure if that's affected your site or not. Otherwise I have no ideas. 

Is still really cool lookin, and sometime in the next week or so they should be posting a video of a dragon or something, so it it'll be damn awesome. Try to join the team while it's young!
