I am trying to add some custom weapon sounds to my map to spruce things up a bit. This is like my third attempt at doing this and yet I have failed again! Here is my procedure:
1. Put .wav sound in root/mpas/MAPNAME/sound folder. 2. Put .wav sound in sound_asset/raw/sound folder 3. Created a new sound-alias for my weapon by copying the line from the colt sound-alias and renaming the sound name to the name of my sound. 4. Put sound,SOUNDNAME,,all_sp in mod builder 5. Checked off my sound in the mod builder. 6. Added the name of my fire-sound in the weapon file. 7. Checked off only Build mod .ff Fastfile and Build Sounds in mod builder. 8. Clicked on Build Mod
--------------------------- FILES: 18323 UPDATED: 4 ERRORS: 20575 ---------------------------- Copying C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Call of Duty World at War\mods\nazi_zombie_MAPNAME\mod.csv to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Call of Duty World at War\zone_source\mod.csv
Then I remembered what ZK said in one of his tutorials "If its higher than 8 you should be ok" but i only got 4 updates and also my sound did not get placed in raw/sounds!
WHAT DID I SCREW UP THIS TIME!

Enough said? My suggestion is too look up a tutorial on custom main menu music. That's how I started figuring out sounds. And I don't mean a zk tutorial. Then keep this stuff in mind as well that sajeone told me via pm because I was having sound issues due to every sound tutorial I've read being incomplete.
Well, this isn't really a big issue but first I'll let you know I've found out a while ago that it isn't required to use unsigned 8-bit PCM as your format and actually just degrades the quality of the sound. I set my sounds to signed 16-bit PCM which gives them better quality while still having compatibility with COD5.
Here's a list of things to check:
1. Did you set the project rate to 44100hz? 2. Did you set the track rate to 44100hz? 3. Did you set the sample format to 32bit float? 4. Did you clear tags?
You have already done most of those but the sample rate and track rate are still important.

Ok so i followed your tut on Zombie Modding for main menu music exactly and its doing the same thing as the firesound! I made sure that all the settings were correct and everything was in the right place but till it didn't work!
Are you making your own soundalias? If you are I suggest just backing up weapons.csv and then adding your gun sound into it. It will already include every sound in there so you won't have to do any of the sound,sp blah blah blah.

You don't have to convert weapon sounds for them to work. I never convert them and they work just fine for me.

so would i just put my firesound in my mods\nazi_zombie_MAPNAME\sounds folder?
I just put it in COD5ROOT\raw\sound\weapons\WEAPON_NAME\. Then create a soundalias and add the soundalias to your mod.csv, matching this template: sound,"SOUNDALIASNAME",,all_sp I don't copy the sounds into my mods folder, takes up too much space (not needed too).

are you sure that you don't need to include the sound, 'cause it might play for you since you have the files in your mod tools, but someone else who tries to play your map won't. I don't believe that the compiler puts the sounds into the fast files.

Ok thanks i will try that. Would i just copy any line from weapons.csv soundalias and change the sound name and the file location to match my sound or is there some other way that works better?

Well... 3 days of my time wasted trying to do this and still no success. Either im an idiot or something is wrong with my launcher.

As long as you put the soundalias line (see below) in your mod.csv, it will be loaded in your mod.ff. Put this in the mod.csv:
If you want scripts / features made for you, then contact me by PM or email / skype etc it will cost you tho so if you have no intention of reciprocating don't even waste my time
