Title: No sound in Doom

I like Doom but the fun really gets taken away when you can't hear anything.
At least I can't hear anything in the 68K version.
I do have the DoomSounds folder but I have no idea how to make the actual app recognize it and use it.

Thanks for the link (Odd how searching didn't find that) however I'm still a little confused.
First off I don't see how add the DoomSounds folder to the Doom app (that's what you did, right?) and secondly, the Doom II app does not work for me. It just opens and then instantly closes.

I did add that folder, yes, but I do not understand your question.

Quote from: "armus2112"I do not understand your question.

In a nutshell:
-I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed
-I don't know too much on how to manipulate NeXT apps and files
-I have doom
-Said copy of doom does not have any sound
-I have a folder of doom sounds named "DoomSounds"
-I want to use that folder with the app so I can get sounds.

From what I understand you need to add the folder to the app bundle.  An application in the NeXT environment is actually a folder that contains a number of things.  Right click the app and open it as a folder, now add the folder to the app folder and you should be good.

try running DoomII from the Terminal and see if any log messages show up regarding sound difficulties...

I don't know how to launch apps from the console.

Here's how you would launch Preview.app from the terminal for example:

run Terminal:

cd /NextApps
cd Preview.app
./Preview &

Or use one of the nicest command line tools that did migrate from NS/OS to Mac OS X:

open /NextApps/Preview.app

(Must *not* have a trailing '/' on NS, okay to have one on OS X.)

That won't get you stderr/stdout output which you want in this case so use the previous example.  But 'open' is your friend...

An open command? Wow. I didn't expect to see that. O_o

Anyways, I open it in the terminal, I'm fed a new lone (cube>) and Doom opens (In the case of Doom II, it opens and promptly closes) and that's it. No errors or anything.
