There's an unused function for that in the code somewhere, yeah. It would straight up just use the existing DSPISTOL sound but played at a higher pitch.
>My plan is that I am going to give the Chaingun a higher pitched pistol wav file l will make in Audacity
Some sourceports will allow you to add a separate soundfile which will then be automatically applied for the Chaingun, I forgot what the filename was, but I think it was later versions of PrBoom+, DSDA, Woof, Nugget, etc.
For ZDoom based ports, you could add a small SNDINFO lump to the .wad where you just add a line to tell it to use your new sound effect for the Chaingun (even for Chaingun Dude's Chaingun). For MBF21 you could also just tweak the Chaingun and Chaingunner to give them new sounds, too.
>but I do not know exactly what I what need to do in Audacity to give it a higher pitch, & I also do not know the specifics as to how high of a pitch the code intends the pitch to be, I see the 150 number in the code, I think that means the pitch level, but I also see the 64 number part, so honestly I do not know
>I just want to replicate the pistol audio pitch in the unused code. If any anons know what it is I would need to do, please let me know & I appreciate the help.
God, that's an interesting question. You'd really need to ask someone who has actual experience futzing with Doom's source code and making experiments with it (compiling it and seeing what happens when you tweak this or that), and they would have needed to have done it before and written down that info, or they'd be able to check for you and tell you.
I can imagine that some of the sourceport devs and other actual programmer minded people on places like Doomworld or GitHub would be able to find this out for you if you ask them nicely. Potentially Decino would also be able to know, if you could ask him, since I know he sometimes does experiments like those, and I think he even mentioned that unused function in one of his videos.
