Why didn't you just edit the post?

You use a abience_generic, or something as such. It's all well documented on some other sites (Valve's WiKi, and hl2world both have entity listings)

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\aocrisan\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\sound\YOUr_CUSTOM_SOUNDS_FOLDER

Each mod has a sounds folder. Just create a custom sounds folder in the sound folder and place the desired .wav file(s) in it.

or .mp3

in your ambient_generic entity, browse to this file. you will need to trigger it with another entity, like a func_trigger, or you can trigger it OnMapSpawn via a logic_auto for instance. if this all sounds like chinese read some tutorials on the sites Crono suggested.

check the flags tabs for other options like looping.. although it's said you better do looping with a logic_timer refire.

On another note, does anybody know what a good delay is for the first fire? cause in server games i encountered the sound being fired before players got ingame and so they didnt hear the first loop, only the second time it fired. All a bit dodgy if you ask me

You could always make the loop triggered by touch, instead of spawn with the map. That way you can make a trigger somewhere outside/in/around all major spawn areas to activate the sound ... then, just to make it clean, have the ambient generic kill the trigger, so it's no longer in the world. That'll ensure that players hear it, since it will have to be triggered by them. You can place it in the actual spawn points, it wont be triggered until the person spawns. Kind of the same hack way of giving the player certain weapons.

There are other ways, but why make it more complicated?

thats exactly how i tried to do it :wink: but the thing is, only the first player hears the first fired loop. atleast thats what i think, i havent had much feedback on this
