Repeating sounds problem Created 20 years ago2004-02-22 20:36:09 UTC by Soup Miner

I am making Alien Blast 2. I am sticking to the concept of background music within the game to set the mood for blasting stuff. But here's the problem. I got the music I want for the game, but when I test the map the music ends and doesn't loop.

hmmm,....thats a damn problem indeed

if u used an ambient_generic, make sure u "DID NOT" enable the flag: "is NOT looped"

could that be it?

No. I think its the sound file but Im not sure.

Are you using background music from the cd? It will end once the track is done. You can add a multimanager which trigger itself and the trigger_cdaudio. Just add the music lenght in the the value field.

If you're using a custom sound, you need to use a fancy program to put in "cue points". There was a thread about how to do it, search the forums.

OK this is what I have. A song called Max300 (from DDR Max if ou ever played that agme). he song is around 1:43 long and I recorded it from an mp3 to a .wav with windows sound recorder. Is there anything in there that would cause a mess up in the repeat?

They dont repeat 'naturally', like 7th said you have to insert cue points.

How do I put cue points in?

Now we have to rape and murder you.

lol... and a new classic is born!

um - you can't put in cue points into CD music people - the mm steinin suggested is the only was to make CD music loop

if there's another one - i don't know it
