Title: Secondary Sound Aliases
Post by: JBird632 on October 16, 2015, 05:18:42 pm

Secondary Sound Aliases
This is a really quick tutorial for those of you who are still a bit new to adding sounds to World at War.
It will allow you to do things such as playing an upgraded fire sound over top of the existing fire sound for that weapon without having to make a new sound altogether.

Uses of this tutorial:
- Upgraded fire sounds
- Playing gear sounds on reload sounds
- Left and Right flux sounds for specific weapons
- Shell eject sounds and Shell impact sounds playing off the fire sound

Recommended Program: Excel

First off, lets assume you already have a working fire sound for your non-upgraded weapon.
For this example I will create an upgraded fire sound for the colt45.

The first line is just what the sound alias is declaring each column to be and can be different depending on the sound alias. The second line is my normal fire sound for the colt. The third line is the upgraded fire phaser sound, the 4th line is a distance sound so that when playing coop you can hear a gun shooting off in the distance when far away from other players. The last line is a shell eject sound. Now keep in mind there are 4 aliases here, but I only need to call 2 of them because they are linked together.

If you have access to excel this will be a lot easier, but I will show you what it looks like when you open a sound alias in excel:

I've collapsed a lot of the stuff in the middle so you can see the important parts. You can see at the end there I have a section called secondaryaliasname and under it are names of the other aliases. Basically my fire sound for the colt45 is calling a distance fire sound (which is just a generic sound for a gun firing in the distance) and then the distance fire sound calls a shell eject sound.

Note: This is all played at once when the first sound is called with a notetrack or in a script.

So for the upgraded fire sound (wpn_colt45_fire_pap_plr) this alias plays just the normal pack a punch phaser sound, and calls the original fire sound, which then calls the distance fire sound and lastly calls the shell eject sound.

To summarize, when you want to have more than one sound alias called at the same time you can link them together by putting the second aliases name into the secondaryaliasname spot in the first alias's line.

I hope this helps and allows people to have more advanced weapon sounds in their maps :D
