How do I include sounds in a map? Created 19 years ago2006-02-10 10:59:38 UTC by =Ace=

How can I include my sounds in my new map, so that anyone downloading it can hear my sounds?
Is there anything like -wadinclude but aimed at including sounds instead?
-wavinclude (lol)?
I would be grateful for any help on the subject!!

Wrong forum. Read before you post.

Is this for HL or Source games?

Sorry if I made a wrong post.
This is for hl, no source

Thats right, you can't include custom sounds in a bsp, you will to distribute them with your bsp as seperate files, and tell other people where to put the files.

with source you can hehe

Sorry for beeing stupid, but when I download a map from a server and there are some new sounds on it that I dont have, server will always send it to me. I can see the names of the new files and where they are going to, in which folder. How can I make those sound files follow my new map?

You'll need a mapname.res file for that, one that contains the paths and filenames of the additional files. Look at the maps you got from those servers to see how it's done. They're just text files, nothing fancy or difficult (though embedding files into the .bsp is indeed much less cumbersome, but that's not possible with HL, only Source maps).

Cumbersome? Is that a word? :/

Yes, it is.

(Though I checked dictionary.com before replying to be sure... ;))

Thank you very much Captain P, now I have something to work with.
I will try to make this work, I am quite new to making maps as you already have guessed no doubt.....
Thing is...it's so fun to make those stumbling steps towards a map. First one will probably be crap anyway, but as long as it's fun I will keep on trying! Thanks again!
