Sounds goes away on custom weapons

[zachgibson22 3]

Title says it all. When I use my custom weapon, it doesn't make any sounds when I shoot which doesn't make much sense because it's just calling on the MX anyway.

Here's the part of the config dealing with the sound. Like I said, It's the same as the MX. Works when the're is a suppressor on there. And when I go to shoot a normal MX it works fine.

	class Single: Mode_SemiAuto {
		aidispersioncoefx = 1.4;
		aidispersioncoefy = 1.7;
		airateoffire = 2;
		airateoffiredistance = 500;

};
};

Anybody!!!! This wont even work when I use custom sounds! What the heck is going on?!

i would first remove all the bits that are not really required for your gun

(i.e. artillerycharge = 1; artillerydispersion = 1; ffcount = 1; etc), unless you specifically want to change something there.

These can cause problems if you dont know exactly what they are there for. E.g. i had "shotfromturret=1" for one of my turret weapons. Result was, that it didnt show any muzzle flashes or lights. Took some time before i figured that out :j:

Use the config from the sample weapon (or in fact the mode from the trg) and adjust that to your needs. Only add a parameter if you really want to change it.

	class Single: Mode_SemiAuto /// Pew
	{
		begin1[] = {"A3\sounds_f\weapons\MX\mx-st-full-1", db3, 1,1200};
		begin2[] = {"A3\sounds_f\weapons\MX\mx-st-full-2", db3, 1,1200};
		soundBegin[] = {begin1,0.5, begin2,0.5}; 

		closure1[]={"A3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_6", db3, 1,10}; 
		closure2[]={"A3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_7", db3, 1,10};
		soundClosure[]={closure1,0.5, closure2,0.5};
		weaponSoundEffect  = "DefaultRifle";
		reloadTime = 0.096;
		dispersion = 0.00087;

		recoil = "recoil_single_Test_rifle_01"; 
		recoilProne = "recoil_single_prone_Test_rifle_01";

		minRange = 2; minRangeProbab = 0.5;
		midRange = 200; midRangeProbab = 0.7; 
		maxRange = 400; maxRangeProbab = 0.3;
	};

I'm not even sure if the engine can still play .wav files. Convert to .ogg to make sure.

[warlord554 2065]

Hey brother BIS sounds are .wss files. They do not need a format ending. So ......

trg_single_1.wav needs to be .....

trg_single_1

And yes this engine works fine with wav files, however you have to include the format ending ".wav"
