Help with an axe in the making

Hello all, merry christmas!

I have recently learned how to code in DDF, it was surprisingly easy. Especially with that link chrono gave, and looking at chrono's Used and Abused mod (which is awsome btw) so thanks chrono

, *coughkissasscough* jk

BUT! i am having a problem. I have succesfully put an axe from Witchaven into doom, replacing the fist. It works fine, both attacks with a NOFIRE_RETURN command so you can do the first attack only without doing both, i don't know how to make it so if you keep clicking he'll do both attacks but if you only click once he only does the first attack and then the next time you click he does the same attack agian. Wait..Would i just have to make it automatic and make it NOFIRE..Yes..That would work right?

Anyway, thats not my problem, my problem is when it plays the new sounds (swinging and hitting) It has this sort of Tick noise right at the start of the sounds, every time.. Is there any way to get rid of this.

-Thanks

oh and i'll be sure to release this axe. All i have to do now is put a spark on the wall, can i borrow this from you Chrono? I want to use your knife spark from used and abused....And steal the coding for that spark...

Isn't NOFIRE_RETURN used feturning to the state it was at last the next it's fired. It was the last time I checked (which was a long time ago).

yeah, the frame after NOFIRE_RETURN is used next time you fire.

Have you tried playing the sound with an external sound player. Do they still produce the tick.

Yeah go ahead and use em, I just don't know who originally made them :S

They also double as wood splinter sprites

If those are the sprites I'm thinking of, then they originally came from Dark Forces, if I remember right (I got them from Don Tello's DF pack on the idgames archives).

thanks chrono, yeah TDA if i play them externally they do NOT produce the ticking noise. It's odd. And is there a way to randomly add a grunting noise to some of the swings. Like in Dark Messiah Might and Magic. That game is awesome.

Ok. I put in the hitting wall sprite and the sounds and all, so it's all done. Except i've still got that sound problem, i'll give you guys the wad and see if you can find the problem, i don't want to make a dev journal yet, until i have a few more weapons. I'm going to make all the witchaven weapons. With possibaly the exception of the bow. Cause that seems a little complicated.

All sounds for edge have to be 8 bit doom saved sounds (or ogg, but I don't know on that).

Give some more frames of smoothness. It's nice, but a sexier look never hurted anyone

Do you have newest XWE version?

Are your sprites named DS**A0, etc? That might be what's causing XWE to turn them into wavs. I know using sprites named DP**A0, etc will turn them into PC speaker sounds.

This is possible can't disagree with weasel

EDIT: Weasel was right! just change name of the sprites to example: CAXEA0 etc. and problem is solved
