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?

Yes, I'm using a pk3 file for it

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

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:
Does that produce any sound?

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.
