Sound file question

from Sins Forums

hi Guys,

i can see that there has been a lot of discussions before in regards sound issues but i couldn't get an answer to my problem, so perhaps somebody could give me some help.

I am trying to add new weapon sound effects to a mod I am playing.

I added the ogg file to the sound folder, updated the soundeffect.sounddata file and also the entity file for the ship on which I want to use the weapon for. The weapon fires with no sound,  I know the sound file is ok as I renamed an existing sound file to test this.

are there any other steps which i have left out

A. Did you enable the mod?

B. If you renamed an existing sound file, why did you have to edit the soundeffect.sounddata file? That is only for adding new sound files.

Goa, looks like he renamed for testing but wants a new entry.

Did you update the count at the top? Each section is 1 count.

Learn to use the dev exe, it will show you a lot of errors.

 Thanks for help guys. I had updated the count at the top but I had only changed it by 1 and for each line, working great now. :grin:
