Hello.

The saw makes additional noise (when player dies while attacking). The sound is played every time when the player ends the attack. I've tried a lot to remove this sound. Any suggestions to remove it from the attack section?

The chainsaw code:

Code: Select all

ACTOR "chain saw" : weapon replaces chainsaw
{
  Weapon.Kickback 0
  Weapon.SelectionOrder 2200
  Inventory.PickupMessage "$GOTCHAINSAW"
  Obituary "$OB_MPCHAINSAW"
  +WEAPON.MELEEWEAPON
 States
  {
  Ready:
    TNT1 A 0 A_AlertMonsters
    TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound ("weapons/sawidle")
    SAWG CD 4 A_WeaponReady
    Loop
  Deselect:
  SAWG C 0 A_Lower
    SAWG C 1 A_Lower
    Loop
  Select:
  TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound ("weapons/sawup")
  SAWG C 0 A_Raise
    SAWG C 1 A_Raise
    Loop
  Fire:
    SAWG AB 4 A_Saw ("weapons/sawfull", "weapons/sawhit", 3, Bulletpuff)
    SAWG B 0 A_ReFire
    Goto Ready
  Spawn:
    CSAW A -1
    Stop
  }
}

I'm really tempted to say that it's not actually any new sounds, but just a part of sawfull or sawhit that you usually don't hear because the sound is more than 0.11 seconds long and the idle sound interrupts them. Try replacing those with a far shorter sound and see if that happens.

Thank for the tip, but I've already patched this up. It took me like 30 minutes of thinking (I should get more breaks, so I can see more stuff in the code).

This is the new chainsaw code

Code: Select all

ACTOR "chain saw" : weapon replaces chainsaw
{
  Weapon.Kickback 0
  Weapon.SelectionOrder 2200
  Decal Bulletchip
  Inventory.PickupMessage "$GOTCHAINSAW"
  Obituary "$OB_MPCHAINSAW"
  +WEAPON.MELEEWEAPON
 States
  {
  Ready:
    TNT1 A 0 A_AlertMonsters
    TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound ("weapons/sawidle")
    SAWG CD 4 A_WeaponReady
    Loop
  Deselect:
  SAWG C 0 A_Lower
    SAWG C 1 A_Lower
    Loop
  Select:
  TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound ("weapons/sawup")
  SAWG C 0 A_Raise
    SAWG C 1 A_Raise
    Loop
  Fire:
    TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound ("weapons/sawfull")
    SAWG AB 2 A_Saw (0, "weapons/sawhit", 2.5)
    SAWG B 0 A_ReFire
    Goto Ready
  Spawn:
    CSAW A -1
    Stop
  }
}

A_Saw plays sounds on CHAN_WEAPON while A_PlaySound uses CHAN_BODY by default, so the A_PlaySound call didn't override the existing weapon channel sound. Your new code plays everything on the body channel.

I'd advise using the first code and supplying CHAN_WEAPON to all A_PlaySound calls (or use A_PlayWeaponSound as a short-hand for this).
