where could i get the sound for a generator or any type of machine for hl1? i can't seem to find one

ambience/industrial4.wav

The best machine sound in HL.

hmm i like them both i might use both then

Download Wally and check the .pak file for HL, there you will find all the sounds

i got another problem when the game starts to load up my map after compiling it says soming like the sound cannot be prossesed it does somthing like this when i try to add a gonome

when you write in the target of the sound , don't write the whole path (C:sierrahalflife...........) but just the folde where the files are in the pak file(eg: ambience*desired sound*)

Download Wally

Cough QPed 211 Cough

i used jeds to extract it would that work??? i think that might be the problem if not

Why would you need to extract a sound that is in the pakfile?
Are you going to modify it or something?
Just do what Weeman said. Write the path starting with the directory inside "sounds"

Examples:
ambience/waterfall3.wav
common/launch_deny2.wav
gman/gman_nowork.wav

Yeah, you don't need to extract anything. I'm just saying QPed 211 is better for browsing through and previewing the sounds.

dident work for me

Try this for some more details on custom sounds using the ambient generic entity.

While the entity guide is dated, It's still useful for general Info. Search the forums for ambient_generic/custom sounds/pak/etc., for more detailed info.

A couple of notes:

Some HL sounds have cue points, and some don't. Ones with will loop continously 'till triggered off, and ones without will only play once until triggered again, regardless of flags/settings.

If you edit cue points on HL sounds--I use Goldwave--you'll need to include the edited .wavs with your map distribution. Hopefully the sound you need has cue points, so you don't have to mess with it.

I personally--while using a pak explorer--copy all the original HL sounds into my Hammer/sound folder. This way, I can check them out without another piece of software. 'Do the same thing with models and sprites too.

If you can't get it to work, check out someones map that has sound, and see how they did it. Decompile if you have too, but many maps here come with the .rmf file so you can edit/look.

ambience/mechwhine.wav is the best

Getting a recorder into a factory is better.

Not that I do that, but hey...

im doing a tutorial on custom sounds. be in the vault soon.

Isn't there already a tutorial on the pak file? For you probebly mean a tutorial on ambient generics,right?

Well, he means what he says. A tutorial on custom sounds. Not much to do with PAKs or GCFs.

I think that's second in my pile. I'll get it up soon-ish.

Whats the first? :

My mistake, third. The newest is on Steam mod splash screens, then there's yours, on the trigger_changetarget, then the custom sound one too. habboi wrote one which is knocking about somewhere, too, on tracktrains, I think, and there are two more modelling gems from BJ. I'll try and palm some off on Ant, as he's finished school now :).

Didn't chickenfist had a tutorial too,he told me so? : Habboi is doing a tutorial on tracktrains?

The Steam one is ChickenFist's.

And habboi's?
