Music in maps Created 20 years ago2003-09-25 09:23:00 UTC by frenzied__mob

Gday

Does anybody know how to make music play from one or more points in a map, such as the radio playing "can't touch this" in ts_hammertime

You'll need some sort of trigger (a button, invisible place on floor, etc) to start the music.

Make a folder in the sound folder of your mod.
Name the folder whatever you want.
Find the wav file you want (has to be 22.025hz 8bit mono)
Name the wav something simple.
Place the wav in the folder you made.
Now place an ambient_generic in your map where you want the music.
Name the ambient.
Browse to the wav file in the folder you made.
Set it's properties.
Flags: start silent / not looped
Now make the trigger to start the music.
Have the trigger target the name of the ambient.
Set time limits, making sure it won't overlap itself.

Hope this helps.

Doc

Does this also work if you want the sound to play after entry, and re-spawn?

If you want cd audio tracks, use target_cdaudio. Set a radius to trigger it when you walk into the radius, or give it a name to trigger it through something else.

hey is it legal 2 do that?

Of course! I did that in goldeneye. Sure, it's just original hl music, but wtf, who cares?

i mean use other music

if you get permission from the holder of the rights to the song - yes,

otherwise you're liable to prosecution etc etc...

Yea you gotta help pay for their new BMW or Lexus or whatever they they can buy that we poor folk can not.

LOL

NOTE: Noone likes the music you listen to. Increasing the download time with a pointless radio track will infuriate most people, and fgs dont try it with an online map!
