env_soundscape syntax issues

Hello.

I am trying to get some non-looping sounds incorporated into my map on a random playing basis.

I created a custom soundscapes*.txt called soundscapes_bleh.txt and I
added the correct key for it to soundscapes_manifest.txt. Both files
are in ...half-life 2 deathmatch/hl2mp/scripts

Here is the content of soundscapes_bleh

"ortho.rain"

{

"dsp 1"

"playrandom"

{

"time" "0.1, 1.5"

"volume" "0.2,1"

"pitch" "75,100"

"attenuation" "0.7"

"rndwave"

{

"wave" "ambient/water/drip1.wav"

"wave" "ambient/water/drip2.wav"

"wave" "ambient/water/drip3.wav"

"wave" "ambient/water/drip4.wav"

}

}

}

I have an env_soundscape in my map that has the soundscape value "ortho.rain"

When I compile the map, I get this error

KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got } in key in file scripts/soundscapes_bleh.txt

ortho.rain,

KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file scripts/soundscapes_bleh.txt

OK. So as far as I can tell, my syntax seems to be correct when
compared with the soundscapes*.txt files in the .gcf, so any help
you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What is "dsp 1" meant to do? Try "dsp" "1" (with a tab inbetween) and try again.

AH! You're right...lol Not sure how I missed that last night... I'll give it a go. Thanks.

edit: "dsp" "1" automatically creates the most accurate reverb for your
map (which, by the way, is a really cool feature of the HL2/Source DSP
sound engine)

So for example, if you set "dsp" "1" on all of the soundscapes you use
in your map, the sounds will echo or reverberate according to the
dimensions of your map. If it's a giant arena, dsp 1 measures the area
between walls, and creates a large echo. If the sound occurs in a small
hallway, the sound is tighter and more compact with very little echo.

Browse the sound text files in the Source Engine .gcf and you'll see
the various characteristics of the DSP room presets (there are 100+ of
them)
