Custom player class completely broken

Okay, so I've set up a new custom player class. I've imported the sprites, .png like I always do, set up the sounds in .ogg format, etc. etc. But then when I go to play as this class, the sprite's pants are gray instead of blue like I colored them, and only two of the sounds work.

This is completely frustrating because as far as I can tell I've done everything right here. When I summon the player class, the pants are blue like I intended, but the sounds still don't play when I shoot him or what have you. I even got the extreme death sound to play once but all of a sudden it stopped working.

I set the class up in SLumpEd (imported the sprites/sounds, wrote the code), but I also tried doing it in XWE and still got the same results. :( Help guys?

EDIT: Looks like the gray pants are because ZDoom is forcing the palette on my sprites, but only when it's being used as a player class. Apparently this is a known issue :P

Use "$playeralias" when using "random" sounds instead of "$playersound", this should fix the sounds :3:

Did the death sounds play for you at all?

$playersound Agent male *crazydeath treehdt1
$playersound Agent male *wimpydeath ta/death

add that , and it works :D

EDIT: You could also try using "PlayerPawn" instead of "Doomplayer replaces Doomplayer" (Did that with EP because it would play both the original Doom player sounds and the new ones) :wink:

You wouldn't mind just pasting your SNDINFO here would you? It's still not working on my end :\

What version of ZDoom are you using? Weasel and I couldn't get it working in the latest, but DoomRater had it working in 2.3.1.

EDIT: That's with Zero-X's fixes and also DoomRater's, which are both pretty identical it seems.

I'm not entirely sure, DoomRater applied the fixes and they seemed to work, but when me and Weasel did they didn't. I also did your fixes and it didn't work on my end, but your .wad works great!
