If you have a fast download, did you remember to put the sound files on the fast download server?

[KPoT]

Clients who join can download, but no sound will play. I set the path right because i copied and pasted, and nothing happens :c

[Powerlord]

How do i know if i have fast download? And i don't think i do

If you did, you'd have something like this in server.cfg:
sv_downloadurl http://www.example.com/myfiles

[KPoT]

I do not have fast download

[KPoT]

I still do not know why :c

[KPoT]

And they can download from it

[RavensBro]

well first of all remove the sound files you have now then rejoin the server and double check to see if they all did download in teh sound folder again start there once.

[KPoT]

It does make me re download them again, and all the other sounds work, except for my custom hales. :c

[RavensBro]

well i know some sounds wont work if they are the wrong bit rate it has happen to me but zip everything up and i can take a look at it once for you.

[KPoT]

Thank you, i will post a link to the files

no reason why those 2 sound files would not work



"sound_precache"
{
"1" "freak_fortress_2\slender\slender.mp3"
}
"sound_bgm"
{
"path1" "freak_fortress_2\slender\slender.mp3"
"time1" "180"
}
"sound_begin"
{
"1" "freak_fortress_2\slender\slender.mp3"
}
"download"
{
"1" "sound\freak_fortress_2\slender\slender_intro. mp3"
"2" "sound\freak_fortress_2\slender\slender.mp3"
}
}

I changed the bitrate from 176kbps to 320kpbs. Hopefully that fixes it.

[Powerlord]

I changed the bitrate from 176kbps to 320kpbs. Hopefully that fixes it.
That explains why your MP3s aren't working. As I recall, Source only supports 128khz mp3s. Any higher will throw errors in the console about unsupported bitrates.

[KPoT]

Really? What about wavs? or it is the same?

[Powerlord]

Really? What about wavs? or it is the same?
Wavs can be 8-bit or 16-bit, 11kHz; 22kHz; or 44kHz. 48kHz won't play back and that includes some of the tournament announcer sounds Valve includes with TF2.

I may be wrong about the mp3 bitrates, so you may want to check that... it's the kHz I was thinking of earlier that we know don't work.

[KPoT]

Where would i find that information?
