How to add a .wav to play on a map?


(Argh) #1

Situation:

I would like to add a lil song to be played on radar. Cos i am a total noob with these kind of things i would like to ask your help.

What i have done so far is make the wav renamed it to hq_entrancedyn1.wav put it in a pk3 /sound/vo/radar/allies called the file new.pk3 and put it in etmain. Apparently it didnt work.

Would appriciate it much if someone could help me.

Tnx in advance.

Try to name it z_new.pk3.
Filename has to be “greater” than pakx.pk3.

if you want to add it to some radio , which is silent you can do it…
There is some way to do it with speaker scripts …
Ask in level editing thread ( dont fear it doesnt need to edit map, just do a script )
BTW: you can see these scripts in ‘sound/maps/*.sps’

what you could do is increase the volume of you “music” and override the ambient sounds in the background like the wind you hear. I did that with megaman x music and it is sweet

Tnx all for the nice replies. What i did wrong was that i replaced my song with Allied announcer quote “Destroy the Side entrance” Ok took me a while to realize the announcer does not use that quote but uses “Destroy the entrances” :bored: Seems our friends here at Splashdamge forgot to delete that one from pak0

Ofcourse then i ran into the data chunk problem and could fix that one. Problem is now as the song lasts 1:30 that all messages are whitheld untill song finishes :confused: Maybe i look into the ambiant sound suggested here.

Tnx again!
