What's wrong with this weapon sounds?

[TheGuy]

All the files mentioned (Sounds, Sprites and files) are in the wad, nothing's missing

 

NOTE THAT I DIDN'T MAKE THIS WAD

Do you have a file called "libsndfile-1.dll" or something similar in your GZDoom directory? Try to "convert Wav to Doom Sound" in Slade3 and see if it plays. libsndfile is needed to play most sound file formats other than Doom sound, but it's usually included.

I didn't type it, but I did double check and as far as I can tell all names are correct.

Maybe contact the guy who made the wad and check with them.

I give up, what's wrong with the sound? What's it doing or not doing? How does it differ from your expectation?

It straight up doesn't play when I fire the gun in game, idk why.

You should share the file to help you better. If you're using a zip or pk3 it may be a path error.

It looks like the Light Machinegun from Realm667, which after downloading to check, plays the sound as expected in the latest GZDoom. What version of what source port are you testing the file in? Is there sound in general? Any extra info you can give about how you're trying to run the file could be helpful.

I changed my GZdoom version like 5 days ago, so I assume I have the latest version. All other sounds work just fine.

[BerserkerNoir]

maybe specify the file extension on soundINFO?

I do, and what's weird is that the file on it's own works just fine. Like, if I put the weapon wad in GZdoom and give myself the weapon, it's sound works just fine. I also tried deleting the files of the machinegun from my Wad and then getting them again straight from the wad, but they still don't work when it comes to sounds.

[Artinum]

Where in the WAD is the sound file? Is it in a subfolder somewhere?

SNDINFO and the sound player commands are very fussy about where they find their sound effects. You need to be specific.

How did you fix it? I had the same problem, the sound wasn't working on the original actor but the custom one can.
