Sounds in SDK

[Diesel]

Hello

Sry if its in the wrong sub-forum


I'm really stuck now.
I want to put my own sound in my map.
But not let it play it to the end.

So I got a list of questions :

1 : How do I add my own sound?
2 : How I let it play and stop after 10 seconds?
3 : How I let it play on other people computers?
( Or how that u download it with the map ? )

I googled but not found anything what is correct for me.

I know how to play standard sounds.

Can you please help me.

1) Saving the sound to the right place
Go to your cstrike/sounds/ folder and than create a new folder. (Called my sounds for example)
Copy your MP3 file into your folder called cstrike/sounds/my sounds.

Implementing it into the level
Put a ambient_generic into your map, then click on sounds name then browse and then search for your sound.
If you found the one you want click OK. If you want that the sounds play in your whole map go to FLAGS and click on play everywhere.
Now give the sound a name (diesel for example)

2) How to stop/play the sound after 10 seconds
Create a trigger brush, make it trigger_once / multiple depends on if it can be played more than once in one round.
Then go to outputs: Ontouch > triggername > playsound > Delay in seconds. If you keep 0.00 it will play immediately.
Want to stop the sound? Go to outputs again of the same trigger. Then ontouch > triggername > stopsound > Delay in seconds ( in this case 10)

3) Getting it to work on other people's PCs
First of all you will need PAKRAT. Once you've download that extract it to your destkop.
Now click on pakrat.jar, now search your BSP file of your map. Once you did that click on ADD and find your custom sound again. Then click yes to all.
Now you got the sound file in the map, you go to file and click on SAVE BSP, just overwrite your BSP. This should work!

K thanks eastsider.

Last question : I want it to make it work when I enter a zone
And the sounds must stops after 10 secs when it started.

Well, normally all custom things (like textures and models) are in the bsp already, so wouldn't it be the same for sounds?

Yeah, you can also press scan, so it will scan your map for custom textures. Is easier imo!

I tried that on and also off but both they stop when the sound ends.

Also the fade in and fade out are not working -.-

Your sound ain't looped then.
Find a sound with Loop in it's name.

The question was, how to make a custom sound looped ?
Answer is ? Add looped in name?

[GECLANPunisher]

Off the top of my head cant only .wavs be used?

[Roy [NL]]

Finally i found the sound thread back

OK i have this sound, it is a custom sound.
The problem is, it isnt looped, when i go to flags and uncheck is NOT looped it still isnt looped.
Can anyone make this sound looped ?

The sounds must always be a .wav!
So download the free program Audacity, and paste the sound in there. If you want it to fade out, then edit the song a bit. When you're done, save it as "customsong.wav", for example, in your cstrike/sounds map.

Now we can open it in hammer, so make an ambient_generic, name it customsong and set the filtertype to raw, when selecting the song or sound you want to take.
Type customsong, and it'll be found in the list.
Select it, and check the flags tab of the ambient generic for any thing which has to be ticked or unticked.

Then, make a trigger or button, and add this output.
OnPressed/OnStartTouch customsong Play

If it's a big song, then just add:
OnPressed/OnStartTouch customsong Stop/Kill

Ok, it's done, but you'll still need to add it in Pakrat.

You can look the posts above, they'll tell you all.

I hope I told some things others didn't tell yet.
The main thing is that the sound must be a .wav, and eastsider said it can be a .mp3, which is wrong.


I think you get the point

wrong, Sounds can be mp3 if they are not looped.
For sounds with loop, use wav.

You could try adding loop in the name, so:
caralarm_loop.wav

Or see this tutorial on looping:
