env_soundscape

hey again guys, been looking over the topics on making an env_soundscape, and i see a few people have had problems with it, but i dont see any easy solutions. has anyone made a tutorial? or could someone break it down on how to make it using the current version of the SDK(installed a few days ago from fresh format) as my coder friend and i have just spent the last hour trying tog het a basic entity to work on a test map.

im not worried about custom sounds, i just want to make a soundscape for a basic test map that i have made.

also i should say its for cs:s

thanks

Have your friend look at the SDK documentation. This took me 2 seconds to find: http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/Sound/soundscapes.html

yeah we tried that but without much luck.. my friend is a whizz with java, and source code looks very similar. but neither of us can seem to get a working scheme :sad:

Custom soundscapes can't be included with custom maps; thank Valve for
that. Short of making your own mod, the only option is to rely on
ambient sounds (ambient_generic) since this map is for CS:S. But in my
opinion soundscapes are really overrated anyway - sure, they're useful,
but it's basically just a script that plays sounds at various volumes
or intervals. You can still make a great map without them.

ambient generic is grand for adding sounds to models, but its evironmental background sounds im actually after.. ie: cars driving past in background at random intervals.. that kind of thing :smile:
