Fucille Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) So I messed around with modding this game a few months back, and one of the things I did for my own amusement was placing all the human guns from the Halo series into the game. That was the only thing I actually released on these forums despite doing some other things, which apparently made it into a big modpack. Recently, a friend of mine finally got the game and wanted my mod because he really likes Halo, but was disappointed to find out it was only the human guns because he also wanted the alien weapons as well. I attempted to oblige him yesterday. For some goddamned reason though, I cannot get any new sound effects to play. I set up all the new files in the same folder, in the same format, and written the same way in sounds_gc as all the other sounds that work perfectly fine, but nothing will play. Trying to get the covenant plasma pistol to work, this is what I tried: Changed the "covenant plasma pistol shot" line in weapons_gc to "M6 shot". Works fine. Changed the "covenant plasma pistol shot" line in sounds_gc to reference the M6_release.ogg file that is used in "M6 shot". No sound plays. Changed the "M6 shot" line in sounds_gc to reference the covenant_plasma_pistol_shot.ogg file and then fired the M6 in game. No sound plays. Renamed the M6_release.ogg file to covenant_plasma_pistol_shot.ogg and tried the plasma pistol again. No sound plays. Renamed the covenant_plasma_pistol_shot.ogg file to M6_release.ogg and tried the M6 again. No sound plays. So basically something is wrong with both the file AND the sounds_gc table, but for the life of me I can't find anything I actually did different than all the content that actually works just fine. I've uploaded the mod folder as it stands, but it's for a much older version of Xenonauts, so I don't know if it will play as-is in whatever version we're on by now. Can anyone figure out what the hell is going on exactly? I'd appreciate it if you could. This is really driving me nuts. EDIT: Wow, a few months? Try over a year ago. Almost definitely not going to work as-is. halo weapons.zip halo weapons.zip Edited January 3, 2015 by Fucille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Doge Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah, the Sounds_GC file is pretty quirky when it comes to modmerging. Oh, BTW the ModInfo file needs this little snipet of code in order to show up properly in Modding Tools: <ModInfo> <Name>Insert Mod Name Here</Name> </ModInfo> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fucille Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks. Modding Tools weren't even a thing when I made it. Does nobody have any idea how to get sounds to work now though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucille Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I don't seem to get a log file even when I run with -modinfo. Does that just mean my version is too old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fucille Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Alright. Updating to the newest community version actually magically fixed the sound issue. Case closed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
