Have a very niche Issue!

[Brualtman]

Currently I am trying to create a cool wad but I'm running into a bit of a conundrum with this weapon I am trying to add. It's the Super Crossbow, which fits really well with my mediaeval theme. However it doesn't have any sounds, and I know why; it's because the sounds it's trying to use are in Heretic and Doom doesn't have them. The hard part is that I don't own Heretic, and don't really have means to accessing it right now so I was wondering if there was a way to replace the sound it makes when firing? I have other sounds to pull from but I am not sure how to tell the weapon where the sound is to pull from. Any help would be much appreciated! 

 

P.S. The SCB does work, it shoots, all it's sprites are correct. 

 

Here's the script just in case anyone needs it!

This looks like DECORATE code for (G)ZDoom. Try taking a look at the pages for the A_PlaySound decorate function (it's used in this weapon definition) and the SNDINFO lump on the ZDoom wiki.

Yeah I've been looking into that. i'll study it over and see if maybe I can find a way to fix it, and see I know about the SNDINFO lump, but the weapon itself which I got from Realm667 did not come with any sound files, so I was trying to see if maybe I could use a different sound that was already in the pk3 instead of what it was trying to use which was that "weapon/bowshoot". Wish me luck, and thanks you for guidance!

Okay Issued solved, I realized that I had to use the SNDINFO lump to associate the sound with like a variable of sorts and then where the code asks for the sound I replaced it with weapons/supercrossbowfire. 

 

Thanks for the help!
