SOUND!!! Created 20 years ago2004-10-13 16:44:11 UTC by LTNS

I'm once again making a level. I've put off my major ideas untill HL2 comes out.

I'm trying to utelize a few sounds in my levels (dropping bodies, screams, etc.)

Something isn't working. here is the fun part.

I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I set up my levels but the sound wont play when i hit the trigger.

could somebody be so kind as to either explain it to me in detail or direct me to a place that will help?

Are your sounds mono, 11 or 22 KHz and 8 or 16 bits?

...........

uh....
i don't know.

I checked the tutorials and found something similar to sound. (sorry) I think i'm usuing the incorrect filenames. I'm going to try it again. let you knwo if it went well tomorow.

Thank you Captain P.

(sorry if this post was for nothing)

no problem, at least oyu didnt say "0MG MY B0X 1SNT W0RK1NG H0W D0 1 F1X MY B0X KTHXB1!!!11"

thank you, ministeve.

...I swear, that gets funnier every time read it!

I said I would update, and here I am.

I have suceeded. Not in the way I wanted though. I managed to get a scientist scream 'NO!' when I hit a certain trigger, but the entire point to my expadition was to learn how to use the 'ambiant generic' entity. I still have no clue how to use it.

I have checked to tutorials and i don't think it is in there. Could somebody direct me to a place that can help me?

Thanks.

An ambient_generic just uses a .wav file. These .wav files must be mono, 8 or 16-bits and 11 or 22 KHz. All .wav files that came with Half-Life can be used without worrying about their format, it's just when you create your own that you'll have to mind this.

And this could help you somewhat:

Be sure to fill in the pathname and filename correctly. Also check the volume and initial volume of your ambient_generic.

Thanks.

If I can get this to work, I may just build a story and present this.
