Background Sounds
 

Description:

This plugin enables you to play map-specific or general background music on your server during the round. It will start playing at the beginning of the round, and stop at when the round ends.

This plugin supports both .mp3 and .wav file, and also prevents the server from crashing if the sound files do not exist. A message will be logged about which file is missing, so you can easily find out which file needs to be uploaded.

Installation:

• • Click 'Get Plugin' link below
  • Place 'background_sounds.amxx' in addons/amxmodx/plugins/ folder
  • Open addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini and add the line 'background_sounds.amxx' at the bottom
  • If you wish to have specific sounds play on a certain map, create a new folder called sounds in your configs folder. (addons/amxmodx/configs/sounds), and then create a new ini file with the mapname. (Ex. de_dust2.ini)
    
    DO NOT INCLUDE THE SOUND DIRECTORY IN THE FILE NAME
    
    Example file
    de_dust2.ini
    
    Code:

    ---

    my_sound1.mp3
my_sound2.mp3
my_sound3.wav

    ---

  • If you are using the default sounds from below, click on 'resources.zip' from below and extract it to your cstrike folder.
  • Restart server or change map

Cvars:

• • ba_ambience <0/1> <default:1> - Turns plugin on or off
  • ba_sound_change <any number greater than 1> <default:1> - how often a new sound is chosen to be played

Re: Background Sounds
 

precache_sound native and spk command only work without "sound/" in the path, you mustn't include it.

Re: Background Sounds
 

or use precache_generic

Re: Background Sounds
 

For the precache_sound, I'm not precaching with the sound directory in the path, but I see that I am using it in the spk. Uploading fix.

EDIT: Uploaded.

Re: Background Sounds
 

I'm still seeing that.
Also, maybe you should use "speak" instead of "spk", then you don't need to send stopsound (will stop all sound that's bad).

Re: Background Sounds
 

Oops, uploaded the wrong file.

Anyway, what exactly is difference between speak and spk? How will it know when to stop (on round end)?

Re: Background Sounds
 

Would it automatically loop the sound?

Also, does it support both sound formats?

And that type of thing seems like if I set it from an entity, then it becomes like emit_sound, the farther away you are from the start origin or the entity, the softer the sound is.

Re: Background Sounds
 

bug: death sounds are blocked at the end of every round.
