Sound

[Jimi]

hey, can ne1 tell how to put sound in my level?? Up to now its completely silent, u cant even hear weapons being fired. Thanks

if its a dm map, it has to be in the 'main/maps/dm' folder

a obj map needs to be in the 'main/maps/obj' folder

[Jimi]

thanks ....still silent

[tstrait72]

what kind of map is it, SP/DM/OBJ? Have you double checked your settings and paths? What is the name of your map? Need details, sir, details...

If it is a SP map, (i.e., you load it using "spdevmap" or "spmap", then the name of the map must start like this:

mXlYname

where X is a number and Y is a number. "m" stands for mission and "l" stands for level. For example, sound will not work with a SP map named like this:

goodmap.bsp

but, if it is named like this, it should work:

m2l3goodmap.bsp

Hope that helps. As for obj and dm maps, they need to be in the correct folders and the above naming convention does not make a difference (as far as I know).

its a dm match and since its just a test map its called rainyday.map or .bsp or whatever . do u need to kno nething else

[Jimi]

thanks for replyin both of ya by the way

Save your map as test_rainyday. The test_ adds all the sounds on. OK

If your map is DM it should be in /main/maps/dm/ if it's obj it should be /main/maps/obj/, doesn't matter what the name, as long as there is no spaces. If it is SP it should go in /main/maps/, and you must have the test_ prefix, so say: test_mymap

Grenadiac,

I've never heard of 'spdevmap' or 'spmap' typically you use devemap or map, or maplist, or most commonly the little clipboard with developer set to 1.

I would not recommend using the mXly method, this will only load sounds specific to that stock level. Of course you'll get all the generic stuff, but a lot of other sounds that wern't used in that level won't be there. Besides that just really funky to have it that way.

To test your map, start a multiplayer game server.
