Index ⇒ Games Support ⇒ Which classic fps engines used cd audio?

[cbowling816]

I will make a list here and update it as needed for quick reference:
(these are the ones im interested in, if you have any others you want to know about let me know)

*edit* i will now be adding games that did for each engine to these for those interested
*edit* im guessing that hexen is the only doom engine game with cda, also i found operation body count used cda

Doom used midi, so did Wolfenstein.

[cbowling816]

i know that

i was wondering which engines though, cause i could have swore one of the other games that used the same engine as wolfenstein had cd audio, but i forget which one, and im not 100% sure if it was that engine or not

DOOM Engine used CD Audio. Hexen is evidence for it. Quake II as well.

[Trey]

But... Doom was released first on floppy... no CD audio tracks on a floppy...

[Delacroix]

The OP asked for Engine capabilities. If you focused on that, you'd know the answer.

[cbowling816]

true that doom was released first on floppy, but if it had later been released on cd with cda tracks, i would have put a yes on this engine
but if i recall correctly no version of doom supported cda tracks

however i am unsure if strife, or heretic used cda

*edit* i now know hexen does

[Molitor]

Jedi Knight (Dark Force II) uses the Jedi engine and its sounds don´t work without CDA tracks. So yes for Jedi Engine

[Delacroix]

Another classic FPS engine you have omitted, Unreal Engine uses CD audio as well. Klingon Honor Guard, Adventure Pinball and many other titles serve as evidence.

[Molitor]

So the music addons for rips of Unreal engine games use music extracted from the CDA tracks?

Oh and, about audio of DOOM, this awful clone has CDA tracks: http://www.legendsworld.net/shooter/game/1474

[Delacroix]

No. They are for games that use other formats natively, such as umx, ogg or mp3. Music addons for rips of CDA-using Unreal Engine games don't exist.

Josephine is a DOOM clone but is not on DOOM engine AFAIK.
