I have this custom weapon, it's a chainsaw. Basically, the audio for it is way too loud in my server. I've taken the audio files that come with it and re-rendered them with lower audio levels, and then put them back into the folder they're supposed to go in (in my server), yet the audio is still as loud as it was earlier.
I have deleted the files from my computer as well when doing so, so it re-downloaded the files to my pc from the server. Ingame the audio is, as I mentioned, as loud as it was earlier. Yet, when I go to the folder where they downloaded to, and play the files, they're as low as I made them.
I was wondering if there's another way to lower audio levels that I don't know about?
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.
How are you playing the sound. Show your code.
[QUOTE=Robotboy655;42690479]How are you playing the sound. Show your code.[/QUOTE]
Since the audio parts are in a couple of places, I cut out a piece from the coding to give you an idea of how the audio plays. This is from the "shared.lua" file.
This weapon is used in Trouble in Terrorist Town, by the way. The audio files mentioned (for example chainsaw_attack.wav) are the ones I've lowered the audio levels on.

[code] tags, please!
You change the volume like this: attacksound:ChangeVolume(0.5)
If I remember correctly, the range is 0-1, not 0-100. I might be wrong.
