My SWEPs are not playing certain sounds on the Chromium Branch | Garry's Mod | Page 1

I recently discovered an issue with my own addon (Dr > Breen's Private Reserve Weaponry). Select weapons suddenly failed to play their deploy and reloading sounds.

This persisted through a validation, full reinstallation, addon purge (minus this one), and deletion of the sound manifest script.

The sounds in question are ones that are tied into the weapons' models / QC files.

However, as a last resort I switched to the normal branch of the game and this corrected the issue.

Has this occurred to anyone else?

#

Addendum: I have not recently updated the addon, and I have always used the Chromium branch. No recent changes there.

likely a change to the https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/WEAPON:FireAnimationEvent hook, where it didn't use to be called for clientside sounds, but now is

Garry's Mod Wiki

WEAPON:FireAnimationEvent

Called before executing an animation event, such as a muzzle flash appearing or a shell ejecting.
This will only be called serverside for 3000-range events, and clientside for 5000-range and other events.

Holy cow, I never would've thought about that. Thank you.

Yes, that was it. Life . Saver. I was going mad.
