How to replace a weapon fire sound?

Major_victory · **Author**

mornin' all, I have my self a little problem.

I want to stop the firing sound of a specific gun (AWP) from being played and replace it with one of my own. that's basically it.

i'v tried using client_PreThink and then checking if the person has fired and from there play a sound and hope it replaces the old one. however it doesn't work (as i figured).

I was thinking maybe using an event register to catch the specific sound and then instead play the new one. but i havn't tried that yet so i'll find out i guess.

thanks for any help

ok i've gotten this far:

Code:

register_event("SendAudio","sound_play", "SEQ_FIRE","")

with sound_play being my custom sound playing funcntion
and SEQ_FIRE being the flag that define the firing sound in the function

all i need is a way to determine if the sound being caught is the AWP firing sound.

any help here would be appreciated

try catching emitsound:

Code:

#include <amxmodx>
 #include <fakemeta>

 #define NEWSOUND "mysoundhere.wav"

 public plugin_init() {
    register_forward(FM_EmitSound,"fw_emitsound");
 }

 public plugin_precache() {
    precache_sound(NEWSOUND);
 }

 // catch sounds
 public fw_emitsoundound(entity,channel,sample[],Float:volume,Float:attenuation,fFlags,pitch) {

    // if it is our awp firing sound
    if(equali(sample,"weapons/awp1.wav")) {
        emit_sound(entity,channel,NEWSOUND,volume,attenuation,fFlags,pitch); // play our own
        return FMRES_SUPERCEDE; // stop this one from playing
    }

    return FMRES_IGNORED;
 }

ok one more thing...
what all do you need to make the client_PreThink function work?
for some reason if i put that in there it doesn't get called at all.

[huge edit]
ok i just got done testing your function and it didn't work. I did this to let me know what was happening:

Code:

public fw_emitsound(entity,channel,sample[],Float:volume,Float:attenuation,fFlags,pitch) { 
client_print(0, print_chat, "Emitsound called: %s : %i", sample,channel)
if(equal(sample,"weapons/awp1.wav")) { 
    client_print(0, print_chat, "awp1.wav to m82_fire.wav")
    emit_sound(entity,channel,"weapons/m82_fire1.wav",volume,attenuation,fFlags,pitch); // play our own 
    return FMRES_SUPERCEDE; // stop this one from playing 
} 
return FMRES_IGNORED; 
}

I noticed it doesn't get called for weapon actions, except the knife, the auto shoty and maybe some others.

i'm back to the register_event function now. all i need is a way to determine if the sound "weapons/awp1.wav" is being played and link it to a function. if i can get that then i can solve this.

and one more thing that i keep forgetting about... why does the amxx studio program sometimes not color code some functions and code and then other times it works fine?

make sure <engine> is included when compiling and that the engine module is enabled on your server.

were you playing by yourself? it's possible that you will never receive the emitsound because your client is playing it for you. have someone else join your server and fire off a few rounds.

the sendaudio event is not used like you think it is. you cannot catch weapon firing sounds with this.

because nothing is superior to notepad.

yeah i have engine included and the engine module is running too but it still wont run the command. I have prethink working in other plugins too but for a workaround i used

Code:

register_forward(FM_PlayerPreThink, "forward_playerprethink")

and then renamed the function to forward_playerprethink, but i'm not too sure if this is causing problems or not because i get the feeling it's calling the functions twice or something...hmmm...

if it does require another person to be playing then there must be a way to detect otherwise too. i personaly don't mind the wrong sound playing but if it works with other people then i'll be happy.

right now the thing is mostly done except for some animation bugs. i'm using a firearms gun model for the new model and its animations are all in different order so it's dificult to keep it at the right animation.

i wish my gmax, 3dsmax, or milkshape worked right now...

You can't catch such sounds with emitsound forward.

Major_victory · 01-16-2006 , 17:50

well then how do you catch such sounds?

usually i can figure these things out on my own but this one is beyond me...

You can't catch Weapon sounds since its clientside I'm afraid. The knife is the only weapon that is handled differently for some strange reason.

The knife is handled differently for speed.
