Help! Placing custom sounds to my server
 

:3

Well, hello! It is the first time I create a new topic in this forum. My problem is this: I am trying to put different sounds to my server and does not work. Well, I've tried the dropbox and does not work, only the maps work. I tried using the sm_downloader and neither worked.

Anything, these are sounds that are modified, but I want them on my server:


sound/music/mvm_end_last_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_end_mid_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_end_tank_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_end_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_lost_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_start_last_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_start_mid_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_start_tank_wave.wav
sound/music/mvm_start_wave.wav
sound/mvm/mvm_bomb_warning.wav
sound/mvm/mvm_player_died.wav
sound/mvm/mvm_tank_start.wav

If anyone could help me and teach, I will be very happy xD!

Hey good people, i know nothing about sourcemod! :)

The problem is that clients already think they have those sounds.

I haven't tested it, but I suspect it uses the teamplay_broadcast_audio event. You can intercept this event, read its "sound" value, and broadcast a new sound manually (using SourceMod's EmitSoundToAll). Note that these sounds should have different names than the sounds they're replacing. Or be in a different directory.

The "sound" values for MvM things you've mentioned are:

"music.mvm_end_last_wave"
"music.mvm_end_mid_wave"
"music.mvm_end_tank_wave"
"music.mvm_end_wave"
"music.mvm_lost_wave"
"music.mvm_start_last_wave"
"music.mvm_start_mid_wave"
"music.mvm_start_tank_wave"
"music.mvm_start_wave"
"MVM.BombWarning"
"MVM.PlayerDied"
"MVM.TankStart"

These names are keys from the various game_sound files inside tf2_misc_dir.vpk. Specifically, from scripts/game_sounds_music.txt and scripts/game_sounds_mvm.txt. Valve uses these to store which channel, volume, pitch, soundlevel, and wave file to play in a single location. Only sounds broadcast to all players on a team are sent via teamplay_broadcast_audio... examples include the non-MvM lose and win sounds.

Change the name of the sound as well if they already exist, it will overwrite the clients sounds, and that's not a good thing to do.

Re: Help! Placing custom sounds to my server
 

The client sounds are now in a VPK file, so you can't overwrite them.

Looks like I got it. Well, if I change the name of these sounds, and put those names changed in game_sounds_mvm.txt, other players will download the music changed?

Re: Help! Placing custom sounds to my server
 

Good to know.

Re: Help! Placing custom sounds to my server
 

Nope, because other players will continue using their local copy. What you need to do is EmitSoundToAll your own sound when one of those would be broadcast.
