Summary

0000581: Startup sounds glitches on demos

Description

There is a glitch with weapon startup sound when viewing demos, which make spotting potential startup hacks impossible. Basically, you don't hear startup sound of your enemy unless he zooms out using barrett. This may cause the demo viewer have an impression that the player has faster startuptime, because he can start shooting before zooming out and during the startuptime zoom out, causing only part of the startup sound to be heard on demo.

Steps To Reproduce

1. play a demo with a player shooting barrett without zooming, there's no startuptime sound
2. play a demo with a player shooting a barrett while zooming, you can hear the startuptime sound.
3. play a demo with a player strating to make a shot before zooming out and continue the process of shooting into zooming out, you can hear only part of the startuptime sound.

Additional Information

it is best to check this bug with a sound mod (attached). Regular startup time with barrett in this mod gives 4 "beeps" before shooting. On the attached demo you can see Kaimelar making shoots quicker than 4 beeps, it's because he started to zoom out during startup time, making it play only part of the sound.
