NinjaDelphox Posted October 15, 2022 So I've been trying on and off for the last couple of days to figure out why this code won't work. The NewArchVile, BaronOfFilth, Ashtar, and Player won't play the defined attacking SFX. (But the newly added VenemousCaco does and I don't understand why it works and the others don't) I'm also having trouble getting the BossBrain thing to not go to an imp frame and then move onto a player, it works perfectly fine in ZDoom ports, but doesn't here. Code: Spoiler stdinclude("root.edf") setdialect("ALFHEIM") thingtype DoomBloodBlue : DoomBlood { translation REDBLUE } thingtype DoomBloodGreen : DoomBlood { translation REDGREEN } thingtype DoomBloodPurple : DoomBlood { translation REDPURPL } thingdelta { name DoomImp bloodcolor 2 // green bloodtype.normal DoomBloodGreen bloodtype.impact DoomBloodGreen bloodtype.rip DoomBloodGreen

Altazimuth Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Can't say off-hand. If the frame you referenced is present and the sound plays appropriately normally (so is a normal sound that works and not an ogg or whatever) I don't see why it wouldn't work. Without the ability to look into this example proper I don't know if I can really help further. Honestly the old cast call system doesn't feel too fit-for-purpose these days in a world where you don't have to define a bunch of EDF frames. Might be a good idea to make it where you can do a "frames" thing and it'll attach some new frames or something, though I don't wanna marry myself to any such ideas. I guess in a pinch you could do loose frame blocks just for this stuff. Edited October 20, 2022 by Altazimuth 0 Share this post Link to post
NinjaDelphox Posted October 20, 2022 All the defined sounds used are the regular Doom II sounds with no replacements, so I'm fairly certain there's no issue there with sounds (The Venemous Caco monster correctly plays its attacking sounds, which is the same as what the Baron of Filth uses so I'm really not sure what is wrong there) The code for the player is literally exactly the same as the example on the wiki minus the name being there, so I just don't know what is going on there lol. Would it help if I DM'd you the resources for this and took a look at it? 0 Share this post Link to post
NinjaDelphox Posted November 3, 2022 And now a new issue pops up with only eternity, for some reason it absolutely refuses to read a newly defined string for STSTR_KFAADDED, which is in both a dehacked and eternity's own estrings/edf, can't figure out why it ignores only that string, any ideas? Code is just a simple strings definition in the edf file: string STSTR_KFAADDED { val = "Please work already" bexsource = "STSTR_KFAADDED" } 0 Share this post Link to post
