[2.6.0] ZSDF doesn't work with voices contained in WAD file
It worked fine when I used Universal Strife Dialog Format, but when I switched over to ZDoom Strife Dialog Format they no longer play.

My standard answer in these cases: You did something wrong - and I have no idea what you did wrong.
So: Example WAD please or this gets closed.
As a regular you should know that a bug report like this one is a certified guarantee that nothing will get investigated.

I suggest a good filehost - I recommend zippyshare.com - , and then, depending on whether you want to make the link public, either post it here or send it via PN.

Hmmm....
There seems to be a little tidbit about ZDSF that never made it into the documentation:
Since it doesn't have to play by Strife's rules, it itsn't restricted to the V_ namespace for its sounds - but it also means the name needs to be prefixed with 'svox/'.
I think this should respect both methods of defining the sound instead.

Thanks man, that worked.
So is this something that will be changed or is it just working as intended?

I'll change it so that it first looks for a sound with the given name and when that fails looks up svox/*.
Re: [2.6.0] ZSDF doesn't work with voices contained in WAD f
Wouldn't it make more sense to look first for svox/name and then for name as a failsafe? Standard-compliant behavior (using the voices namespace) ought to be prioritized.Graf Zahl wrote:I'll change it so that it first looks for a sound with the given name and when that fails looks up svox/*.

Yes, I changed it accordingly.
