Ambient_generic issue... Created 15 years ago2009-03-26 17:50:56 UTC by Stixsmaster

Hey all,

I have converted sum songs I like by a band I like for a new map I am making...(and yes I legally have permission to use the full version of these songs)...

I converted them to be 24khz 8bit mono wave files...

Now I setup 2 ambient_generics in my map and I have just either the small radius or medium radius checked off...and they are configured properly to the location of the sound files...but when I load my map...they do not instantly start playing...they never play at all...

I have checked as well if the sound files are installed in the proper folder and they are...

So I am just lost at what the problem is...

---Stixsmaster

is "Start off" checked?

Nope...

Just either small or medium radius...

Try posting it in the problem maps vault, someone will take a look at it.

try some other sound file from the game and see if that works with the same settings. Oh, maybe you need to add cues for them to play(i dunno but it's worth a try)

Yeah. Just take a file that's already in the game, and open it up with whatever software you used to create your custom one.
See what settings it's saved as and just mimic those for the new sound wave.

I fixed my issue...and resorted to just making buttons for the rooms...and adding ambient_generics throughout it...to make it work...and surprisingly I am happy with the results...

Really...good for you...nice to know your music works...hope your map turns out well...
