I'm new to modding this game, but I've begun working on a minor Republic side mod and one of the things I'm trying to change is the firing sound for the AT-TE's main gun from what it is now to the AAT's missile firing sound. However, when I change the sound from "rep_weap_walk_atte_turret_fire" to "cis_weap_hover_aat_missile_fire", instead of changing the sound, it is now silent.

I suspected it wouldn't be as straightforward as that, but I haven't found a way to fix it. I thought it had something to do with the sound being from a different side, but I also tried using the proton bomb firing sound from the V-Wing as a substitute and was met with the same result. Clearly it's more complicated than I thought.

Can anyone explain the mechanics at play here and how to get it working properly?
