[Help] Problem with weapon sounds.

[SlayR]

So I made some new weapons  (tools) and gave them new sounds downloaded from Freesound.org, but none of them works. They simply don't play when attacking. The sounds are WAV. format so it should work, but it does not for some reason. If you can help, please leave a comment.

That was where I messed up, I didn't know about the SoundDefs. Thanks!

Umm as for myself, i already have a SoundDefs, i still don't understand too well what is happening, if someone can help, here's the code:

Assuming you have a sound in Sounds/Guns/FlameBrust.wav (are you sure about the spelling?), you should be able to play it with SoundDef.Named("FlameBrust").Play();

For in-world sounds, you'll want to make a SoundInfo with the proper position and pass it to Play().

There is an in-game editor for sounds. Turn on dev mode and then click the two tiny squares at the top of the screen.

It should be able to work, though i tried everything, i doesn't work, everything is spelled correctly (With caps also, i know its caps sensitive  )
Umm how do i start the sound to atleast check it works? Like its that a command of some sort or i should put that somewhere in the code?

Bonus: A piece of my Flamethrower's code

   <ThingDef ParentName="BaseGun">
      <defName>Flamethrower</defName>
      <label>Flamethrower</label>
      <description>Burn! Buuuurn! The favorite weapon of a pyroman!</description>
      <texturePath>Things/Item/Equipment/Flamethrower</texturePath>
      <interactSound>InteractBoltActionRifle</interactSound>
      <purchasable>True</purchasable>
      <basePrice>500</basePrice>
      <verb>
         <projectileDef>Bullet_Flame</projectileDef>
         <accuracy>2</accuracy>
         <burstShotCount>30</burstShotCount>
         <ticksBetweenBurstShots>2</ticksBetweenBurstShots>
         <warmupTicks>250</warmupTicks>
         <range>10</range>
         <fireSound>FlameBrust</fireSound> <--- This is the most important
      </verb>
   </ThingDef>

First try giving it the name of a standard gun sound that's already in the game.

If that works, copy that gun sound and give it a new name and try that.

If that work, change that gun sound to what you want.

You'll pinpoint the problem.

Send my your files and i try to repire it. Need xml. Of sound weapon and wav sound you want to use i try to fix it. Maybe youhave wav in wrong format.
