Orbweaver: I've noticed no_dups failing to work with footsteps sounds as well; on my system I have experienced "machine-gun footsteps" several times, even though this should be prevented. |

Source changes: 1. Made changes to entity.cpp, entity.h, and player.cpp to provide our own 'no_dups' handling since Doom3's appears to have a bug in it. 2. Commented out 'no_dups' wherever it appeared in *.sndshd files defining voices and footsteps. We can't turn off 'no_dups' in the code before we hand the sound to the engine, so it has to be turned off at the source. (There's a comment in the code that you can override shader flags, but this doesn't work for SSF_NO_DUPS because overriding flags are OR'ed into the shader flags. Can't turn a bit off using OR.) Testing: 1. Extensive testing with guard and player footstep sequences on various materials, showing the fix to work. Also checked ladder and chain climbing. 2. Extensive testing with AI barks. Caveat: Lots of inconsistencies exist among the sound shaders wrt the use of 'no_dups'. I.e. one builder's voice set might have 'no_dups' set everywhere it should be set, and another builder's set might not. Anyone adding 'no_dups' to shaders they think need them might not catch that we don't need to set 'no_dups' any more for voices and steps. Or someone adding a new AI might include 'no_dups' in new sound shaders. This could lead to duplicate barks or steps. There's no way to control this, so we'll just have to respond to complaints if anyone notices.
