I have a problem that is harder to explain.

I'm using infection countdown remix plugin and I tried to make countdown sounds to work for both formats (.wav and .mp3).
Check if format is .mp3, if yes play it, if it's not, it is .wav and play it.

It seems to work except every other .wav sound is much louder then the other .wav sounds.

It goes like this:
When every .mp3 sound plays, audio volume is normal, if .wav sound plays, for example ten.wav it's much louder then the sound eleven.wav, and eleven.wav has a normal audio volume just like .mp3 has, then after that eight.wav is much louder, just like ten.wav, then again, seven.wav is OK and six.wav is very loud etc...

I have no idea why is that happening.

I highlighted everything that I have changed from the original plugin and I removed some comments to make the plugin smaller and put it here.

Any solution?

try using emit_sound.

The code could be optimized though.

Set mp3volume and volume cvars to 1 maybe? It could be an issue with your CS. I don't know why you're mixing both wav and mp3, just use one or the other.

@Napoleon_be
I'll check it out but the original author did use that first and then he changed it to client_cmd in the next version of the plugin. I can't have both, I must use

emit_sound

or

client_cmd

yes?

@zXCaptainXz

If you're thinking about the regular audio volume options in my CS, I tried changing them and it does change but still one sound is much louder them the other.

I'm using .MP3 and .wav to try if it works but if I put all sounds to be .wav the problem still exist for .wav files with that MP3 function in the code

[Sh0pke]

I tried with emit_sound

emit_sound(0, CHAN_AUTO, countdown_sounds[g_countdown_timer-1], 1.0, ATTN_NORM, 0, PITCH_NORM);

instead of client_cmd and I tried to precache .mp3 using

engfunc(EngFunc_PrecacheGeneric, "fvox/beafq7.mp3")

or

precache_generic("fvox/beafq7.mp3")

and I get Missing RIFF/WAVE chunk error log.
