Righto, I'm back with a couple of questions.
1. I have recently made a spaceship map where multiple trigger_onces all over the map cause explosions elsewhere and all the scis die and its really fun to watch... This all works fine, but i felt it was missing something, it needed sound. So I popped my Star Wars DVD indo the drive, recorded some sound, converted it to an 8000hz wav and then popped it in H:Half-lifevalvesoundsambience.
When i play the game, i open the console as per usual, type map space as usual and then it comes up with the error (in the console screen) Sound H is unable for transfer.
I though it was just the sound i used so i tried the ones that came with Jobabob's Half-Life Star wars but it says the same thing. help please
Sounds... sigh...

2. Y'know with the latest HL1 compile tools, light textures are textlights ingame even without entities attached. well, i was wondering if i set one to func_breakable, the light would go out when it did... Or would it even be a textlight when attached to an entity?

Try it and see...
It should remove the light as well.

The best bet is to check the lights.rad file in notepad. Find the texture name and copy the light value. Paste it into the brightness field of a light entity and have the breaking light trigger it.
As for the sound. Have you entered all the ambient_generic's fields correctly. You only need the type ambience/example.wav
Not the drive and every folder on the way.
It may depend on the format too. Use Sound Recorder from windows to record as it saves to a HL compatible wav.
That's the end of my wisdom on sounds.

You don't want an 8kHz sampling rate, you want at 11.03kHz for lip-synched speech, or 22.05kHz for better-quality ambient sound.

but i thought only 8000hz worked for HL...
CS only accepts 8000hz

well, after testing question 2, i have determined that no, the light will not go out.
The brush breaks like normal but the light stays on
