Each choice would have its own pros and cons but I would prefer the start of the world map. This would bring up a problem if 2 collidanle players respawned together, making them unable to move. This is where telefragging would come in, requiring extra coding.

As it is, Keen respawns at the last finished level. Changing it to be the beginning every time would require some intense patching. And you don't even need a new death animation; the default one is already used and works pretty well - you just need to patch the animation cache so that map keen loads those animation frames (the game crashes otherwise).

Preferabbly from wav, as converting from mp3 to ogg would introduce a double quality loss - once in encoding the mp3, and once in encoding the ogg.
why convert when you can create? i'll just make them in ogg format.
Well, it was more a reply towards the "convert" part.
Wow look at me I'm lurking

So I'm guessing Commander Genius can use .ogg's for music?

Yup. I'm actually doing some of the music for it.
