Problems with "SNDINFO"

[TheXna]

Hi, I want to know what i'm doing wrong here.

//AMBIENT

DSAMB1 DSAMB1
DSAMB4 DSAMB4

$ambient 1 DSAMB1 point continuous 1.0
$ambient 2 DSAMB4 point continuous 1.0

this doesn't work for me, already did a map test with it and it doesn't work.
I would appreciate some help

Are the sounds in the sounds folder?

[TheXna]

Yes, I'm using a pk3 file for it

[Nevander]

DSAMB1 DSAMB1
DSAMB4 DSAMB4

This might be expecting the sounds to be in the root of the PK3. Try doing this:

Code: Select all

DSAMB1 sounds/DSAMB1
DSAMB4 sounds/DSAMB4

DSAMB1 DSAMB1
DSAMB4 DSAMB4

This might be expecting the sounds to be in the root of the PK3.

If you're doing it the "old way", the sounds can be located anywhere in /sounds/ - ZDoom searches the entire sounds namespace for them, with the drawback that you can't reuse filenames, and they can only be 8 characters long. So I don't think this is the error.

Could you try loading your project, as-is, open the console, and enter this:

Code: Select all

playsound DSAMB1

Does that produce any sound?

[TheXna]

It didn't, I had to delete the sound folder and place the sounds anywhere but not into a folder, that was the solution for me.
Thanks very much guys!

That sounds like the opposite fix for what I suggested. Moving the sounds beside the SNDINFO means they are right there in plain view to the lump.

That's a weird bug. I have sounds in /sounds folder and in subfolders also, and all the definition in sndinfo for the sound is the sound's lump name. Not even a path.
