Not playing death sounds?

[Jeimuzu73]

I've encountered a strange error when trying to code enemies. When the enemies die, sometimes they scream and sometimes they don't. How do I fix it?

In SNDInfo:

Code: Select all

$random mook/death { dgrscream dgrscream dprscream dprscream dscream1 dscream1 dscream2 dscream2 dscream3 dscream3 dscream4 dscream4 dscream5 dscream5 dscream6 dscream6 dscream7 dscream7 dscream8 dscream8 dscream9 dscream9 }
dgrscream dgrscream
dprscream dprscream
dscream1 dscream1
dscream2 dscream2
dscream3 dscream3
dscream4 dscream4
dscream5 dscream5
dscream6 dscream6
dscream7 dscream7
dscream8 dscream8
dscream9 dscream9

In enemy's .txt code:

Code: Select all

Your dgrscream and dprscream sounds (files/lumps) have a file name length that exceeds the length limit of 8 characters (they're 9-character long).

If you're using the ZIP/PK3 structure for your mod and you don't want to reduce the file name's length, you can use long names, provided you specify the path and extension of the sound file. Example:

Code: Select all

dgrscream "sounds/enemies/screamymonster/dgrscream.ogg"
