New versions are posted in the MapChooser Extended thread.

The sounds plugin for Mapchooser Extended 1.7 and higher.

Features:

• Configurable sound sets, including sound events for: Vote Warning, Revote Warning, Vote Start, Vote End, and Countdown sounds.
• Sound sets are configured in addons/sourcemod/configs/mapchooser_extended/sounds/
• Configurable whether players only download sounds for the current set or for all sets.
• "tf" sound set should work even on an sv_pure 2 Team Fortress 2 server.
  

Dependencies:

• Mapchooser Extended 1.7 or higher.
• sv_pure 0 or sv_pure 1 server. "builtin" sounds will also work on sv_pure 2 servers.

Changelog:

• Version 1.3 (2011-11-03)
  • All cvars have been renamed to conform with the MapChooser Extended standard. This means that you will need to delete your mapchooser_extended.cfg file.
  • Updated to use OnMapVoteStarted instead of OnMapVoteStart
  • Changed timings in TF Sound Set (32 to 30, 12 to 10)
• Version 1.2 (2011-05-16)
  • Sound sets now each have their own config files.
  • Fixed a bug where specifying an invalid sound set in cfg/sourcemod/mapchooser_extended_sounds.cfg would cause the plugin to enter into an infinite loop.
  • Removed hl1 sound set from zip file and moved to a separate download.
• Version 1.1.2 (2011-05-15)
  • Fixed a bug where the plugin would sometimes crash on start
  • Fixed an issue where having a non-existent sound set as your sm_mapvote_soundset cvar on plugin load would cause the plugin to crash (or just not work). Now, it will switch to the default configuration. NOTE: Removing the default (tf) sound set and then referencing a non-existent sound set as the default will also make this crash (or not work).
• Version 1.1.1 (2011-05-15)
  • Fixed having too many convars with the FCVAR_NOTIFY attribute.
• Version 1.1 (2011-05-14)
  • Initial Release
• Version 1.0 (???)
  • Internal Release that only supported changing sound sets at server restart

Installation:

1. Unpack archive to game root directory eg. orangebox/tf
2. Upload the sounds directory to your Fast Download server if you have one.
   1. If you are using Team Fortress 2 and the "tf" set exclusively with sm_mapvote_downloadallsounds 0, this step is optional.

Upgrading:

1. If you are using version 1.1.x, download the zip again as the configuration file system has changed.

Common Problems:

1. "The sounds download but don't play!" or "I get the error 'Failed to load sound "sourcemod\mapchooser\tf2\announcer_dec_missi onbegins30s06.mp3", file probably missing from disk/repository"' in my game console"
   1. This has two potential problems. The first is that you didn't upload the sound files to your game server or fast download server.
   2. The second is that you may be running a sv_pure 2 server or a sv_pure 1 server without having the Mapchooser Sounds directory in your pure_server_whitelist.txt
   3. If it is a sv_pure 1 server, add this above the } at the end of hl2/pure_server_whitelist.txt :

      sound\sourcemod\...            allow_from_disk

   4. The hl2 directory is in the orangebox directory (for HL2DM, CS:S, DOD:S, and TF2), not your game directory.
   5. You cannot fix this on an sv_pure 2 server.
2. "The sounds play fine the first map, but not after a map change!"
   1. This is actually the same issue as the previous problem, except that you're setting the sv_pure value in server.cfg. See the previous answer's solution.
3. "The constant beeping during a vote is annoying. How do I get rid of it?"
   1. This is controlled by the game server. Set sv_hudhint_sound 0 in your server.cfg. Note: This disables the sound for all hint messages.

ConVars:

• mce_sounds_downloadallsounds [0/1] (def 0) - Force players to download all sound sets, so sets can be dynamically changed during the map. Takes effect at map change.
• mce_sounds_enablesounds [0/1] (def 1) - Enable this plugin. Sounds will still be downloaded (if applicable) even if the plugin is disabled this way.
• mce_sounds_enablewarningcountersounds [0/1] (def 1) - Enable sounds to be played during warning counter. If this is disabled, map vote warning, start, and stop sounds still play.
• mce_sounds_version [val] (def "1.1.2") - Mapchooser Extended Sounds Version
• mce_sounds_soundset [val] (def "tf") - Sound set to use, optimized for TF by default. Sound sets are defined in individual files in addons/sourcemod/configs/mapchooser_extended/sounds/. Takes effect immediately if mce_sounds_downloadallsounds is 1, otherwise at map change.

Commands:

• sm_mapvote_reload_sounds - Console command that reloads the Mapchooser Sound configuration files. EXPERIMENTAL. This may or may not work, although 1.1.2 should have fixed the crashing issue with it.
• sm_mapvote_list_soundsets - Admin command that lists which sound sets have been successfully loaded. Requires the Cvar admin flag.

Sound Sets:

• "tf" (included with plugin) - Featuring the Announcer from Team Fortress 2. Requires no external files if the game is Team Fortress 2. Submitted by Powerlord.
• "hl1" (hl1_sound_set.zip) - Featuring the HEV suit voice and GMan from Half-Life 1. Submitted by Zuko.

Sound sets support "builtin" sounds if the sound set is the same name as the game folder. It is possible to have a sound set composed entirely of "builtin" sounds, but is not recommended.

If you create a new sound set, it is recommended you put sounds in the sound/sourcemod/mapchooser/[setname]/ directory (ex: sound/sourcemod/mapchooser/hl1/). This allows Pure 1 servers to whitelist the sound/sourcmod directory to allow all sounds.


The Get Plugin link will not work because the plugin requires mapchooser_extended.inc to compile.
