[MC-64484] Fire charge plays no sound due to incorrect sound file reference

This report is a follow-up to an attempted fix for [ MC-1831 ] in version 14w31a.

I'm unsure as to whether the original issue should be re-opened or whether (as the conditions have changed) there should be a new bug report. I'll leave this up to the discretion of the mods if they wish to merge this with the original report.

[19:07:43] [Client thread/WARN]: File minecraft:sounds/mob/ghast/fireball.ogg does not exist, cannot add it to event minecraft:item.fireCharge.use

The correct asset the game should be pulling is sounds/mob/ghast/fireball4.ogg, as a result the game plays no sound for the fire charge use.

I verified that Ghasts still play fireball sounds. I verified that forcing sound assets to re-download does not resolve the issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue, I'm using Windows 8.1 though.

Zuriki 2014-08-06T14:54:51Z

Still affecting 14w32a. Updated ticket.

And 14w32d.

Viktor 2014-08-13T15:40:52Z

Still affecting 14w33a.
I wonder If I should create a new issue, my environment is different (Java 8 and windows 8.1 64bits) and I've identified the game only crashes when VBO is turned on.
Edit: I guess my system doesn't support VBO, oh well.

Same problem under same environment with 14w34b.

Dragonalfa 1.8 2014-09-03T12:20:30Z

I can't play minecraft 1.8-pre-3 and minecraft release 1.8 . I have the same error.

user-f2760 2014-09-03T12:28:09Z

this is not a game breaking error Dragonalfa, you can play just fine with it, that you can't play 1.8 is because of another reason

s zarox 2014-09-04T17:14:43Z

Comfirm snapshot 1.8 (start 14w31a) and 1.8 (report by french) + windows vista 32bits .

Sycholic 2014-09-18T15:42:54Z

confirmed 1.8 release/final. Also this is a duplicate of MC-64440. Note its labeled other way around dunno why as 64440 is a dup of this one, as it was filed before this one.

Sycholic, older tickets may get resolved to newer tickets in favor of more information.

Sycholic 2014-09-20T18:12:36Z

Yeah sonic thats why I didnt get why someone jumped to flag the older ticket to this one, because the info is just the same. I know its not a critical thing but for me, I just prefer to give credit to the proper person who takes the time to infact report bugs.

Sonicwave 2014-10-16T03:29:01Z

Confirmed for 1.8.1-pre1. (Doesn't seem like a hard bug to fix but it was possibly overlooked).

Sonicwave 2014-10-17T01:29:56Z

Still in pre2 as well

Jack W 2014-10-27T13:07:32Z

It's in pre3

Sonicwave 2014-11-12T00:36:30Z

Still in 1.8.1-pre4.

11people5 2014-11-19T16:38:12Z

Well I just tested this in 1.8.1-pre5 and I've got to say... Fire charges still don't play any sound. Is that intentional or something?? What gives??? How can you say you fixed it when you didn't fix it?!

a 2014-11-19T19:53:03Z

In 1.8.1-pre5

@@unknown: Shut up.

michael 2014-11-20T10:47:58Z

The issue will be resolved in the final 1.8.1 release. Please do not reopen it based on feedback on pre-releases, the assets will be updated with the final release of 1.8.1.

EDIT: I want to point out it was broken in pre5, but the final 1.8.1 release will contain a proper fix for it 🙂

11people5 2014-11-21T02:19:24Z

Okay, but I'm just a bit confused as to why it's marked as fixed for 1.8.1-pre5 when the fix is for 1.8.1
...Oh well I guess....
