sound that works in my map... i placed my friends voice in sound then

misc and used it as an ambient_generic in my map.... when i go to play

the map it freezes at verifying resources i click cancel and open console

.... it says something about not being able to transmit sound.... someone

help !!!

It's probably the wrong format. It should be 22,050kHz, 8-bit, mono.

Make sure its not too big too - if its something over 2 MB then sometimes the game will fail to play the sound

the largest sounds in hl were under 500KB

^ If its a larger sound, split it into 2 or three files. Most of the ones in HL were even below 500k, I didn't see but one or two that exceeded 250k.

For another problem....I have set ambien generic on my map but when I tes whit trigger that ambien generic on my map the sound is always repeart before the sound finish playing? Why??

Check the flags. You want to set the Not Toggled flag so it plays once each time you trigger it instead of getting toggled between on and off.

i want know which ambient_generic must modification if:
1. sound play one time
2.sound play never stop (like Opera in map cs_italy)
3.sound play stop for several minute and then continues play again :

1. Sound play one time: they will normally do this.

2. Sound play and never stop: http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?doc=1070392493-12550200

3. Read the Multimanager tutorial.

Sound play and never stop, i mean like ambient/Opera or ambient/fire. I make ambient_generic whit this sound but when i trigger this sound stop before finish. I want play continues and never end. At ambience_generic flags i check like this....
1. medium area
2. it's loapped
It's right??? :

Uncheck the looped flag, it actually says "is NOT looped".
