[Scripts] Music Player in Enemy Territory

(Gautama) #1

Hi Everyone,

I Try since 1 weeks,to make a music player for Enemy territory.
It’s Work Well,but i try to improve it,specially on 3 things…

1)On pure server,my Music Player don’t work,when i host,that work,on unpure that work…

My song are inside a pk3 Files(in wav Format),and Pure server won’t allowe me to use something that is not on the server,that i know,but do you know a way to play my song on pure server(exept with a external player :disgust:) i try to don’t put them on pk3,but it don’t work at all…

It must be possible to do it on pure server,please tell me it’s possible.

2)Is it possible to play a Mp3 in Enemy Territory?
When i try,i’v got a message that say “No Fmt Chunk”… :???: ?

Any Idea?

3)Is it possible to stop a sound?
I search and search,and search,but don’t found.
Ii found a stopsound and a s_stop command on website,but that don’t work.

Thanks for all

You cannot edit .pk3 files and expect them to work on pure servers, that’s the whole point of pure servers.

I’ve heard of people controlling external music players (like Winamp maybe) whilst in-game, but can’t really see the point. Part of the game playing experience is the sounds it contains, besides being able to hear enemies coming, reloading weapons, charging Panzer, direction of footsteps etc., all helps you be a better player. If you can’t hear these things because you’ve got music blasting out you’re not going to play as well.

  1. Try shoving them in a etmain/sounds/ directory and playing them that way. Eg, /play sounds/name.wav. Pure servers will not let you on with unpure pk3’s… custom ones maybe depending on the name… eg, try, music.pk3 ? and not pakX.pk3.

  2. Nope.

  3. Same as yourself, never found the command that actually works to stop a sound… :]

Tbh Kendle. Try practicing without the ET sound. Raises yer awareness cos you gotta act that bit sharper. Encourages using Lean and slower more relaxed falling back and striding in to rape tactics.

Whenever I play CA I always have music on. I do this for the fact that I hear around half of what I would hear normally at the aid of increasing me reactions to suprise attacks and stops teh camping. Doing this also raises your awarewess as I stated as imagine free falling @ Q3DM6 of RL JP… you need to look around everywhere rather than where your going while listening to whereever someone is.

Shrug, this is just me… everyone has there way of practicing tbh. This is just mine…

I think it must be just you Piggy. I’d never play ET without sound. A good headset and sound turned up makes you a much better player.

I’m known for blundering around corners and getting myself killed, but even I manage to avoid the odd bullet in the face sometimes cos I heard the guy round the corner reloading, and the number of times I’ve managed to avoid a Panzer cos I heard him winding up before I saw him…

There’s no sense of touch, smell, or taste in a FPS game, so sight and sound are all you have. Deprive yourself of one of them and you’re only half the player you could be (IMHO).

ya I agree with kendle get the et music turned off and et effects to top volume and then get a ncie headset on and your set its like having a wallhack tbh =P

In fact i made a new pk3 with all *.wav,i don’t edit the old.
On pure server,in the Console,when i call the path command it’s say for my path and certain capaign.pk3 path “not in the pure list”.

But,now i’m pretty sure is not possible.Tks all. :frowning:

Kendle,the music player is for a Script i made with a lot of nice features,the music player is just here for fun.
In fact,i never play with background music.

Playing without sound is good for one thing,concentration.

I Remeber when i play on Rtcw,with the No Sound bug,my concentration increase a lot,but i agree that having sound is a much better option. :smiley:
