Hello everyone,
What i'm trying to make now is FF2 subplugin which will replace minigun(tf_weapon_minigun) sounds with custom one. So far i have no luck while trying to mute the default sound played by the weapon:
1. Sound Hooks are not fired when the weapon is playing sounds
2. I found out it uses m_iWeaponState which plays sound for every client client-side, then i used code from
Be the giant deflector heavyplugin to detect when minigun starts playing sound. It manages to play the new sound, but it doesn't stop the default one
3. Applied "minigun no spin sounds" attribute to the minigun, but this attribute doesn't want to work with stock minigun and it only stops windup sounds...
4. Another idea is to use SendProxy and send another value of m_iWeaponState netvar to clients, but looking at the leaked Source 2007 code, this will break client-side animation, not sure, but strongly sure this will happen, so didn't try this method
5. Another idea is to disable client-side prediction faking the cvar sv_client_predict, but i know this will deteriorate the game experience(laggy movement, slow action, etc)
I'm stuck and i don't know what to do to prevent minigun sounds from playing but without side effects. I can accept "NO" answer too, just tell me if it's possible or not
Edit:
My fast and dirty plugin for testing minigun sound replacement:

What happens is that both the new and default sounds are played and overlapped
Linear Mode
