[2.1.7] Monsters can't use the Player's sounds using .bex

[Siggi]

I've got a .bex patch which makes zombies use the player's pain and death sounds. In PrBoom and Eternity, the correct sounds are heard, but not in ZDoom. Instead the zombies are mute.

Code: Select all

This is likely because the player's sounds are aliased to allow for different player genders.

I've only ever heard male sounding marines in my ZDoom.
If anything they've been aliased for skins.

You've only heard male sounds because ZDoom only includes male sounds. You have to add female and gender neutral player sounds yourself if you want to use them.

I've only ever heard male sounding marines in my ZDoom.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I've seen gender somewhere before... Now where was that.....

Oh yeah.

Well done HotWax, you pointed something out I already knew. I used the term heard for a reason.

Zippy noticed.

Fixed. Here's an updated DEHSUPP that corrects the problem. It will be included in the next version, but you don't need to wait to use it now.
