Quake custom sounds

[cowboypilot]

I am having the problem that when i replace a quake sound, ex: "headshot" it will not work ingame with the custom sound.

I have my sound on the server, in the sounds/quake folder where the default quake sounds are, then go into the quakesounds list file and change the name of the file that should play when a "headshot" occurs. upon first joining of the server you download this custom sound file of mine but it does not seem to want to play..

any solutions?

ps: i am also having this problem with gungame sounds
