I've made a little big map and now I started work on sound scapes. I've made them on my previous map and they works well. Now on my next map works only DSP effect. Map is compiled with: fast RAD, fast VIS, normal BSP and the map name is cs_arcticstorm_b05_r01.bsp . And below is sound scape file from cstrikescriptssoundcapes_cs_arcticstorm_b05_r01.txt :

------------------------------------------------------------

"cs_arcticstorm_b05_r01.ctalley"
{
"dsp" "1"

"playrandom"
{
"time" "4, 35"
"volume" "1"
"pitch" "100"
"attenuation" "0.9"
"rndwave"
{
"wave" "ambient/wind/wind_gust_8.wav"
}
}


"playlooping"
{
"volume" "1"
"pitch" "100"
"attenuation" "0.9"
"wave" "ambient/atmosphere/town_ambience.wav"
}


"playlooping"
{
"position" "0"
"volume" "1"
"pitch" "100"
"wave" "ambient/machines/big_truck.wav"
"attenuation" "0.5"
}


"playlooping"
{
"position" "1"
"volume" "1"
"pitch" "100"
"wave" "ambient/machines/big_truck.wav"
"attenuation" "0.5"
}
}


"cs_arcticstorm_b05_r01.controltower"

{
"dsp" "1"

"playlooping"
{
"position" "1"
"volume" "1"
"pitch" "100"
"wave" "ambient/wind/indoors.wav"
"attenuation" "0.5"
}

}

------------------------------------------------------------

env_soundscapes (two of five) are targeted: "cs_arcticstorm_b05_r01.controltower"/"cs_arcticstorm_b05_r01.ctalley" and also env_soundscape_proxys are connected with them. Rest of sound scape entities are set with "nothing" parameter.

When I'm testing my map I can hear only echo effect changing as I activate other env_soundscape.

Past soundscape_printdebug (or something like that) command on console it shows only original HL2 and CS:S soundscapes without my news.

Except for the errors everything you posted seems like it should work fine. Looks like there is a typo in filenames or entities, a missing bracket in the soundscape, ect...

The only other thing I could imagine is that the "position" values are messed up. I often don't use them or use "position" "random". If you don't specify targets for the different positions (0-7) in the env_soundscape it could cause sounds not to be played at all or at a very odd position that is to far away to be heared! Which would be an explanation for DSP changing but no sounds playing.


Why snark works.

Oh men... I've found some errors and had troubles with this sound scape. First of my mistakes were forgotten "}" mark in end of last script in scp file and I fix that before submitting my problem. Next was mistake in file name. I wrote too fast and "s" were missing in file name. Also it was invalid name of sound file. And the last one - on the map is (...)ctvalley, but I tried to use (...)ctalley in scp script.


Any way thanks for help.
