gun sound help

[UllyB]

I tried to add sound for a Mauser gun and I entered into trouble. I modified the soundlist.ini accordingly:

 

soundfile033=Bk27

[bk27]
Priority=NORMAL
Looped=TRUE
NumBuffers=4
3DSound=TRUE
DopplerEffect=FALSE
MaxDist=1000.000000
MinDist=50.000000
InsideConeAngle=360
OutsideConeAngle=360
ConeOutsideVolume=0

 

 

and then I added it to the gundata.ini:

 

[GunData061]
TypeName=27MM_BK27
FullName=27mm Mauser BK27
Caliber=27.000000
ROF=1800.000000
MuzzleVel=1025.000000
AmmoWt=0.180000
WarheadWt=0.018000
Reliability=100.000000
Accuracy=75.000000
AddLight=TRUE
MaxLightRange=1200.000000
FireColor=0.500000,0.450000,0.320000
GunFireEffect=23mmFireEffect
GunFireSound=Bk27
EffectClassName=23mmEffects
EffectTime=0.100000
TracerTexture=Tracer2.tga
TracerSize=0.300000
TracerDistFactor=0.002000
TracerLength=0.015000
MaxVisibleDist=4000.000000
MaxStreakVisibleDist=1000.000000
TimeFuzed=FALSE

 

aircraft data.ini file gun declaration:

 

[internalGun]
SystemType=FIXED_GUN
GunTypeName=27MM_BK27
InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN
MuzzlePosition=-0.425, 3.828, -0.6
LightPosition=-0.425, 3.828, -0.6
AimAngles=0.0,0.1,0.0
MaxAmmo=920
EjectShells=FALSE
MinExtentPosition=
MaxExtentPosition=

 

 

As you can see the numbers order is ok, the gun name into aircraft data.ini file is ok, the sound name in sound folder is ok also but I get no sound when firing the gun. I don't know what I do wrong. I could use some help.

did you run the modified gun through the gun editor? 1st Gens require that

[UllyB]

yes I did. But it was not that. I discovered what it was after hours of frustration and meditation.The sound is NOT enough to undergo those familiar steps, it has to be a MONO sound to work. After I converted to MONO in an sound editor  it worked. So maybe it would be a good idea to add/implement this info in that website knowledge base when you build a gun so no one will ever feel the frustration I felt.
