item_suit goes BANG! Created 17 years ago2007-08-03 12:34:54 UTC by Madcow

The problem is simple..
As soon as the player is equipped with item_suit HL crashes with the error "sv_startsound 293".
This error has been brought up in the forum before but never because of an item suit.

I just remembered that I was supposed to test the hazard course and see if I get the same error when equipped with the suit in that map.
I'll try it right now.

Indeed the game crashes when I pickup the suit in any map, even the original maps

Ideas anyone?

No, I mean if this happens in every map I play then it can't possibly be a map related error which I thought at first.

Have you messed around with the sentences file in the FVox area latley?

You haven't changed any of the suit sounds have you? HL tends to do a runner if the sound is a higher quality than it should be or something like that.

No, not anything that I can remember.

I'll try reinstalling it but first I have to backup all my stuff.

Edit:

I googled around and found a thread whit a german guy having the same problem.
He solved it, that's all I got from this sentence:

"Ah ich habs gel?st. Dreh die Anzuglautst?rke im Spiel runter. Wie weit musst du Testen. Dann gehts besser."

Anyone good at German?

Edit2:

SOLVED

Well, I didn't reinstall it but I removed all game files manually and left the gfcs, then I started up the game again and let steam copy the new files into HL and then it worked.

Just for shits and giggles,

Babel fish gave me this for the german sentence:
"Ah I habs solved. Trick the suit volume in the play down. As far you must tests. Then gehts better"

Oh, the HEV volume in options.
I remember ticking it up quite alot before compiling the map.
That could have been the problem
