I made a mod for a weapon that freezes the enemy and after a while the enemy explodes in ice shards. In version 1.0.29 you could hear the explosions very well while playing Doom, Heretic or Hexen, but now in this new version, I can't hear the explosions anymore in Doom and Heretic, however in Hexen, I can still hear them.

So is it a bug or do I need to modify something ?
Here is the code :

In case somebody wants to take a look, here is the mod itself.

As usual the command is : gzdoom.exe -file Katana.zip

Just do the "give weapons" cheat and use slots 8 and 9 to use it.

Posted: **Sun Jan 06, 2008 19:56**

For some reason, neither GZDOOM.PK3 and ZDOOM.PK3 have the sound icebrk1a.flac in them any more. They used to both contain icebrk1a.flac and icedth1.flac but now there is only icedth1.flac. An accidental omission I suspect.

You should be able to fix it by grabbing that lump from an older copy of the pk3 and sticking it in your own project.

Edited to remove stupidity.

Posted: **Sun Jan 06, 2008 20:15**

My latest gzdoom.pk3 contains icebrk1a.flac. Yes, the one in 1.0.30.

Same for zdoom.pk3

Posted: **Sun Jan 06, 2008 21:12**

Strange... It's there now. A case of not seeing the wood for the trees I guess. (Sorry about that.)

Regardless of that, the sound isn't working.

Loading this:

Code: Select all

actor njplasma : PlasmaBall replaces PlasmaBall

{
	DamageType Ice
}

And shooting enemies with the plasma gun freezes them (which does make a sound), but there is no sound when they break.

Posted: **Sun Jan 06, 2008 21:30**

OK, the flac may be there but (G)Zdoom is having problems reading it for some reason. I extracted the file from gzdoom.pk3 and loaded it with the above decorate:

gzdoom -file decorate.txt icebrk1a.flac

and no sound when the bad guys shattered. I loaded the sound into Goldwave - it played just fine. I saved it as a WAV and tried loading it again:

gzdoom -file decorate.txt icebrk1a.wav

and that worked.

So, for what ever reason, (G)Zdoom, fmod, whatever, is having trouble playing that flac.

The fix for you, lzvk25, for the moment would be to stick a copy of the sound in your project WAD. Just make sure its a copy that Gzdoom can play.

Oh, so that's the problem. I was wondering about this too. This will be fixed soon, right?

Posted: **Sun Jan 06, 2008 21:40**

Should be. I've just posted about it over at Zdoom too seeing as how it affects Zdoom too.

So far in ZDoom it was fixed, however, in GZDoom it is still the same.

Which isn't surprising because I haven't done a re-release!
