The validity of the points you raised are not being questioned. I simply don't feel that a 2 is an accurate evaluation. I'd say a five or a six is about as low as you could rate it objectively. The key piece of information, which is clearly conveyed by this tutorial, is not what name you need to use for the custom sound(s) folder. It is the fact that the GCF files are where hammer finds the recourses, and the additional fact that you can create folders as adjuncts to the standard archives. Any "f**ktard" with GCFScape and a reasonable amount of grey matter could figure out the rest, so why be picky about it?

Damn, that was a badly written tutorial.

So he's trying to say you create a "sound" folder where the .GCFs are?
"D:Program FilesValveSteamSteamApps" are where my GCFs are.

So "D:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppssoundairplaneexplode.wav" ???

But then he says you don't have to create the damn folders, and that the sound can be placed in the [root] of HLDM ("D:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsmy@emailhalf-life 2 deathmatchhl2mp")

WTF is he on about?

So in other words you didn't understand it, so I'm the stupid one? You need to know how HL2 is set up, folderwise, before you act like you know everything.

I don't get it; the tutorial was clear, to the point and helpful.

Nickleplate is completely correct in this tutorial... If you don't understand don't rate.
