SNDINFO Not playing sounds for revenant or evil marines

[REVonZdoom]

I've been picking up the mantle of updating Hellwalker ever since the main dev abandoned it for other projects. Most stuff I've been able to do on my own like fixing sprite glitches, replacing certain monsters and getting rid of others (fuck the forgotten one). I even came up with new ideas like having unwilling come out of possessed soldiers, and having pustule face huggers come out of chain gunners. but my current problem resides in the SNDINFO. I've done my best to try and figure out why, and I've even reached out to doom community discords with dedicated channels for such things (spoiler they don't help at all and said channels are basically dead unless someone big asks for help). I love this mod and want to make it better, but the coding is so full of spaghetti that I can't make heads or tails of the SNDINFO.

here is the mod in question:

anyone willing to take a look or give me pointer to the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Note: The Sound info and decorate are properly coded, but the sounds still don't play.

Do you can post actor which sound doesn't playback and its related SNDINFO lines?

W.T.F.?

Which sound doesn't plays?
In which actor's state specificly?

From this cropped code dump I can assume that you talk about this line: TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire"). If it so, then try to point specific sound channel in the function OR just set auto-channel, smth. like:

TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire",0)//=TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire",CHAN_AUTO)
OR
TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire",6)//=TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire",CHAN_6)

The Sound info and decorate are properly coded, but the sounds still don't play.

No, it's not. The only place where Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire is referenced is line 10 of SNDINFO.AED:

Code: Select all

$alias				intermission/tick			Doom4/Weapon/Machinegun/Fire

Although, this sound is not defined anywhere. No surprise that it doesn't play.
