ZDoom

Yes, in older revisions the sound was handled differently which could result in different behavior while the game is paused (as in the console)

[quote="Reporter's Note"]ah ok. sorry but I just want to say that it was working before 98a, I swear[/quote]

So he's saying that it worked in r622.

But is it intentional?

Thanks for that info. Case closed, then.

wait 1; Kill

Alias Die "wait 1; Kill"

A_PlayerScream is called within the first XDeath frame (unlike DoomPlayer which calls A_XScream in the second frame). As a result, it won't play the sound while the console is open.

Use the following:
- Open the console.
- Enter the following:[code]wait 1; Kill[/code]- Close the console.
- "Bleeegh..."

My workaround (to a seemingly minor problem) is to use this simple alias:[code]Alias Die "wait 1; Kill"[/code]

They don't have to. *xdeath can also be used.

Hmm - do Heretic or Hexen define a *gibbed for their players in Sndinfo?

[quote="Reporter's Description"]
When you kill yourself (to make the gib animation), it doesn't have any sound.

This happens ONLY in Heretic and HeXen
In Doom works fine

[quote="Reporter's Steps to Reproduce"]
Load Heretic or HeXen
Select any class (if in HeXen)
Type Kill in console to kill yourself
You will notice there is no death sound
