man, this is gold =D 

thanks! I hope ppl find it useful and fun to use. 

Here's a new version of the FGD for JACK users The RC1 version above was untested and had some errors. 

Awesome stuff! Should use this with a standspon3 map of mine! 

I'm getting realy mad about this.
Have made some soundtriggers in 11KHz, 8Bit, Mono timeds ago and everithing works.
Now, after loading the new version over it, I did the same and nothing happens. Message" Couldn't load ... .wav.
Tried to load some original dump/..wav and also the same message.
Made a new directorie, reloaded files, deleted working files and also nothing.
What have I done wrong? 

Well it's really hard to know what you have done with out seeing your hard drive and directories. So a few questions:

What do you mean by loading a new version over it?

Do you mean a new progs_dump? If so then, what version are you using?

Each version of progs_dump should be treated as a separate mod. I never intended for people to "upgrade" or overwrite those files. I will make sure this is clear in the readme if I didn't already.

Did you somehow, move or overwrite your sound files? Are they still there?

Most of the time these are issues with the paths. I did not touch the sound code between the different versions. 

My Workflow:
Created a directorie named after my project. Copyd the progs_dump in. created a new map and saved it in the map folder. made some sounds and saved it in subfolder ../gh in sounds/. Triggerd the files in trenchbroom and they worked. downloaded the newst version of progs_dump. removed the old files. installed the new in the same folder. made some new soundfiles. Got error messages "couldn't load soundfile ... . wav". tried it with the older files everything workes fine.

Because of the fact that the old files work, I think that it has something to do wit the paths but I don't know where to fix this.

Would it help to create a new directorie with a clean copy of progs_dump? 

quake's sounds filenames are relative to the sound/ subdir rather than the gamedir itself, for some reason.

so if your map contains sound/ in the name then it won't work (unless your sound is in c:/quake/$modname/sound/sound/ which is obviously stupid). if you put them in c:/quake/$modname/sounds/ then it won't work either. 

The folder paths are correct.

Like this.

Noise: gh/example.wav


The only difference is that the old files work, the new dont, the water sound in dumps folder dont works either. 

Would it help to create a new directorie with a clean copy of progs_dump?

Yes I would start with a fresh directory, something got messed up when you copied files around. Especially since the water sound is not working.

BUT - what version are you using of progs_dump? 1.1.0 RC1? or the Jam X RC2?

In the OS the path for your sound must be like so:

modname/sound/mysound.wav

OR

modname/sound/somefoldername/mysound.wav


In the editor, your sound must be:

mysound.wav

OR

somefoldername/mysound.wav 

And make sure the folder is SOUND and not SOUNDS 

I'm using 1.1.0 and the folder/sample.wav.

I'm repairing this today till it works!

best wishes 

There are two versions of 1.1.0 RC1 and RC2

for the 3rd time now... which one are you using? 

Ding, Shame, Ding, Shame, Ding ...

Solved it!

Had to change the command-line Argument in Necr-GUI to "-game modname".

Argh. The was the last thing I thought.
Now it works fine.
Have only one little idea for the play_sound_triggerd. Could there be a spawnflagg for looped on, off?
Have to turn non looped sounds of by trigger again. 

glad you figured that out

I need to look at that code again. It was a straight copy and paste from Rubicon 2 (or Hipnotic) so I will have to see if I can modify it.

But you want a spawnflag for play_sound_triggered to start on that then toggle off correct? 

looping in quake is based on a flag inside the wav file itself, so hard for QuakeC to control (would have to know the length which i don't think is available, and then manually retrigger a non-looped wav, or manually kill a looped wave. 

Yep I should have realized that when I posted. That's why there are two discreet sound entities, one for looped wavs with cues (or markers) and one for one-off sounds. Sorry Sgt. It's one or the other. But you can create a looping sound with these markers easily. I have a tutorial here: https://youtu.be/pj7C_igr0bs 

Don't know why but the play_sound_triggered entity in my maps always loops the sound-file with or without markers. So I had to trigger it again to stop. 

You are probably triggering it with a trigger_multiple so it's just firing it over and over.

??? 

Did a trigger_once on a play_sound_triggerd with a soundfile without markers and the sound repeats and repeats. Did it with a trigger_relay and it happend the same.

So I now shoot two trigger_relays. The first starts the sound, the second, with a delay of the length of the sound, stops it.

Have no idea why it works this way today.
The first time I worked with this entity a trigger_once was enougth and the sound stops after playing. 

No idea what's up with that but I am glad it is working now.

The final version will be released some time in June. 

For folks who may have missed it due to spam posts tamping this down. Still working on the final version, should be out by the end of June.

The final will have a few new features and a proper hub for the test levels:

** Added func_bob and misc_bob (RennyC adapted from AD)
** Added misc_sparks (Rubicon2)
** Added misc_particles (misc_splash from Rubicon2)
** Added sight_trigger - monsters fire targets upon seeing the player
** Added keep_ammo to Ogre, Soldier and Enforcer (no "DropBackpack" if set to 1) 

The new version of progs_dump is here. Designed to give mappers more visual effects, game play options and quality of life features while retaining the look and feel of vanilla Quake. This is a massive release compared to version 1. It's thoroughly documented and has been tested over and over. Some highlights include:

*visual effects like particles, sparks, lasers and lightning
*pain_targets that fire when a monster reaches a certain health level
*c0burn's switchable light styles and fading light effects
*trap_spikeshooter now shoots lavaballs, voreballs, rockets and more
*Rubicon2's "retriggerable" spawnflag and custom sounds to func_train
*ladders and two varieties of breakables
*various Hipnotic and Rogue entities like func_counter and earthquakes
and much, much more.

You can download it from the Internet Archive or from Quaketastic
