Hi all,


I know this sounds so noobish, but its important for me, i tried creating example maps to understand how env_soundscape works, i opened the source sdk official site explaining, but i failed to understand completely how it works, so please, if some has the time, make me an example map that provides a quick explanation on how to use soundscapes, if you can do the following :

<> A room
<> An outside area

I know that the soundscape should be placed in the opening of the door or the area, and i know that it would play until another soundscape is triggered..
I just need that map, please...

THanks you all for your time, and i hope that anyone would volunteer and do the map for me <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

--Thanks <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

What exactly don't you understand about this entity then? It looks like you understand all there is to it: an env_soundscape is triggered once you get close enough to it (within the specified radius) and it refers to a script file that tells the game what sounds to play on the background...

I'd imagine there's some env_soundscape in dm_lockdown? The .vmf of that map is somewhere in the sdk folders. I think a little entity search in that map should return some env_soundscapes that you can check. I hope. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Thanks, but i already checked them all, as mentioned, and captain P, i did, its just to complicated there, lots of lines and entities, a little bit more for whom understand how it works...and thats what i want...

If you can do me that map.. I would appreciate it...

( atm i cant understand how they work with a simple room and an outside garden or w/e , and the soundscape with all its functions )

Please -- Thanks

Heres an example map that I whipped up, it includes a VMF file to have a look round in the editor and a BSP to show you how it sounds in game (On Screen Text shows Soundscape Transitons)

Soundscape Example Map

P.S Ignore the triggers in the map file as they have nothing to do with the soundscapes, but are for the onscreen text

Also the list of soundscape sounds can be found Here

Hope it clears things...
