weapons switch sound for pak.9

[:iR:goatkilla]

well i came across 3 paks with the file (change.wav) in the weapons folder it appears to me that someone was able to get a weapon switch sound workin! if anyone here has one plz let me know , me and reflex already talked about it , he told me he found on a pak but never got it working ..

im wonderin if it just has to be renamed or if it just wont work at all?

the sound wont work on its own, you need to use it in an alias
these are what mine look like

alias cg1 "use machinegun;echo Machinegun; use chaingun;echo Chaingun;play aliases/change"
alias rl1 "use rocket launcher;echo Rocket Launcher;play aliases/change"
alias rg1 "use railgun;echo Railgun;play aliases/change"
alias gl1 "use grenades;echo Hand Grenades;use grenade launcher;echo Grenade Launcher;play aliases/change"
alias sg1 "use shotgun;echo Shotgun; use super shotgun;echo Super Shotgun;play aliases/change"
alias hb1 "use hyperblaster;echo HyperBlaster; use bfg10k;echo BFG10K;play aliases/change"

[:iR:goatkilla]

x'tyfe do u just copy that into the cfg and whoala???

[Whirlingdervish]

you'd need to edit it into all of your weapon switching binds/aliases, and put the change.wav sound into your sound/aliases/ folder for the "play aliases/change" to work.

what i posted is only an example, it wont work on its own without the rest of my aliases

Yes, I did create drop binds/team binds for myself even though I don't play team related mods I was bored

can i send one of my you cfg and yall can make those commands for me?

Properly adding this feature to OpenTDM would be absolutely trivial, and would allow it to work for everyone who plays OpenTDM, rather than requiring client side aliases.  Additionally, you will hear other people's weapon changes if it is done this way.  It's really a one liner:

http://jdolan.dyndns.org/trac/browser/quake2world/src/game/default/p_weapon.c#L73

See last line of that function.  Here's another one for hit sounds:

haha, you can just put that change file into your sounds folder then add play change.wav at the end of every weaponswitch bind.

bind g use grenade launcher; play change.wav

you guys make it look so complicated

Main difference is dolans way would only make the sound if the weapon actually switched,  although I don't know if the other person would hear it.

some mod must of had that,  because I know I've heard the sound in action before while spectating someone.

[[BTF]Sigma]

That feature is in most games now...helps me find the lurkers.

[Jay Dolan]

Yes, other people would hear it.  And right, the sound is only triggered when the weapon actually changes -- good point.
