Problem with sounds Created 18 years ago2006-01-06 18:17:12 UTC by Archie

I have 4 ambient_generics in my map.
They are set up like this :All the sounds are from the pak0.pak
The compile runs smoothly and without error, and the map even pays without a problem. However, i get this message in the console and naturally, the sounds aren't playing

Warning: Unable to open sound/alien_hollow.wav for transfer
Warning: Unable to open sound/alien_blipper.wav for transfer
Warning: Unable to open sound/pulsemachine.wav for transfer
Warning: Unable to open sound/aliencave1.wav for transfer

Any help?

The sound's name sould be ambience/alien_hollow.wav for they are all in the ambience subdirectory within the sound pak directory. That goes to all the sounds in all the subdirectories.

oh, of course. d'oh. i'll give that a shot

BTW: All of them are in the ambience folder.

Dang beat me to it Yeah just like Source Hunter, you simple tell it which folder it is in like my Mario song... mario/mario.mp3

ok, thats sorted... but now they wont play.. its really annoying..

it no longer displays an error in the console.. they just arent playing.

I dont want to trigger them.. i just want them to be ambient background noise

Not toggled meens they aren't looped, they do play but only once when the level loads. Untick the flag.

Okay, that sorted it. silly me. thanks again elon

No problem.
