Hey all,

I just have a few things to ask, I just thought that I'd make sure that I'm doing everything right now insted of later.

#1) Character voice work

After a long war and a little help from Loco I was able to get my scientists mouths to move. Now I just want to make sure that I'm compiling right, heres what I do.

1) Record the voice (duh)

2) add the sound to my mod's folder (Xenophobia/sound/Joe/hey.wav

3) add a new entry to my custom sentences.txt

4) I open up the editer and set everything up so it will work.

now here's the part I want to know if I'm doing effectively

5) I compile the map, but then I have to close out and open Half-life then ativate my mod from the custom game menu. That way the sound will actually play

So I have to activate it in half-life for it to look into my mod folder and read the sound, but I just can't help wondering if there is a way that I should do it so that It will work right when I compile it in Worldcraft.

thx guys

If you're compiling and running the map from hammer, which most people say is a bad idea, you could still change the line that runs your game to look like this;

+map $file -game xenophobia -dev -console

you should already have the +map $file bit. -game xenophobia, where xenophobia is the name of the folder your mod is in. -dev lets you cheat with noclip and godmode, and lets you use some other commands. and -console lets you access the console ingame, so you can use the cheats of course.

FGD = the text file saying what properties entities have and stuff. Anyway, you might need to have a ! before the name of the sound, so it'd be like "!sound/Joe/hey.wav"

When you hit F9, you can just add the "-game xenophobia -console" to the additionall commands box at the top, you don't need to be in advanced.
