Beam shot start sounds
on: November 02, 2006, 07:48:22 am
Dangit, why is my connection to HLP so bad today...

Anyways, I've been trying to change the firing sound (not the BeamSound/WarmUp/WarmDown) on some of my beam weapons. The problem is that, even when I'm sure that I've changed the $LaunchSnd tag to reflect the new sound entry, it still keeps defaulting to 124 in my sounds.tbl, which is beam_shot1.wav (default sounds.tbl should also be in the 124th position, since I add rather than replace sounds).

I would've posted this in the SCP area, but Inferno R1 somehow got around it for their subspace cannons (which use beam_shot2.wav), so there has to be a way (won't do much good if it only allows one extra sound to be used though). I did try looking at that mod's tables, but I'm not getting anywhere since beam_shot2.wav doesn't even appear in its sounds.tbl... At least I think so when I was using Notepad's search function... =/

Inferno doesn't use that sound as far as I know. I looked in the VPs and found a sound file for the subspace weapon and it was a LONG charging sound that ended in that beam sound in the same file.

I ran into this problem too a few months ago. I didn't report it as it was trivial in my situation, but there is definitely something wrong with this.

So that was their workaround... would this be considered a real bug then???

:confused: :confused: :confused:

If this is indeed a bug or a hardcode, it'd be appreciated if someone can Mantis it. I'm unable to make Mantis reports due to my e-mail address.

I think I found it... not sure though. In the beam weapon entry there is a $LaunchSnd: line and it has one of those beam shot sounds. Try changing that.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

When you gaze long into BMPMAN, BMPMAN also gazes into you.

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.
