How to add new sound effects

[darrien007]

I have solved all my other problems as i usually do after a while and I added a Barrett m107 50 cal sniper to my server and i found a good sound to accomodate it and i added it to effect but after adding the crc of the sound to filelist and changing it in z item and updating the filelist, it still sounds like the regular rifle shooting

			snd_reload="we_shotgunpa_reload" 
			snd_fire="we_shotgunpa_fire" 
			snd_dryfire="762arifle_dryfire"

Those are the 3 you should edit to the sounds you want. (Within zitem.xml in system.mrs.
Your chosen sound should be placed in /Sounds/Effect.mrs, after which, you edit effect.xml inside effect.mrs to something like this :

  	<EFFECT NAME="sound name here" MINDISTANCE="320"/>

If you have any more problems, please post back.

Well Ill try this, but all i have is the shooting sound, is that bad ?

[lxchadxl]

what you mean all you have is the shooting sound

[darrien007]

as in, i dont want to change the reload sound or the dry fire sound i just was the fire soiund to be changed

I tried what you said and it still didnt work

[lxchadxl]

snd_reload="we_shotgunpa_reload" <- don't change if you want it to be default.
snd_fire="we_shotgunpa_fire" <- the fire sound you want your gun to have when shot.
snd_dryfire="762arifle_dryfire" <- don't change if you want it to be default.

btw, open up your update2.mrs, tell me whats inside, i had this problem too, its normally because inside update2.mrs there is another effect.xml, which can
1)be updated with your new sound,
2) added to effect.xml in effect.mrs and then delete update2.mrs

I tried, and it wont work

I only have update 1 -.-

did you update your effect.xml? and made sure you put this sound you wanted inside effect.mrs, compiled it back and replaced the one in your gunz folder?

[darrien007]

yup

just found a enrty in the effect xml
added anotehr entry near the top of it and im testing now

EDIT- (above) didnt work

[lxchadxl]

 	<EFFECT NAME="sound name here" MINDISTANCE="320"/>

This should be the only one needed, right below

 	<EFFECT NAME="we_shotgunpa_fire" MINDISTANCE="320"/>

[darrien007]
