So nobody is able to tell me why it is not working?
I dont even ask about "how make it to work" but at least someone can give me a clue what is wrong with that...

There are guys on this forum, who are making plugins so complicated, that this single case is not even a chellange for them to solve.

As a pointer, I am able to use connect/disconnect sounds (for built-in wavs in L4D2 clients sound folder) using Arg!'s Connect Announce plugin, but not the custom ones.

Yes, if you have sourcemod 1.1 or higher, you can use sm_play command, to play any sound from the game, but only default sounds from game, its not working with custom sounds.

For example:
sm_play @all ambient\weather\thunderstorm\lightning_strike _4.wav
will play this sound to all players ( you should try this with tank sound, its funny when all the people scream "tank comming" )

But it doesnt work with any other sounds besides default ones.


I tried new method too, installing Karaoke plugin, which is using MOTD method, so no clients downloading sounds - just putting sound on server and external hosting (like own website)...but it doesnt work too

EDIT:

Maybe the format of sound file must be exact this same like the l4d2 wav files?

Did you try to play them after doing an snd_rebuildaudiocache?

[Yanush]

New idea works partially!

After i put snd_rebuildaudiocache command in my game, now when i try play a sound with sm_play command, it doesnt show "missing file" but "bad sample rate (8000)"

So conclusion after all:
- we need to have sound files on client and server side ( we can do this with sv_pure 1 command on server)
- we need a plugin? or something to make people execute snd_rebuildaudiocache command
- we need to know what exactly format should have the sounds

I think the sound file must match the "HL Audio Format", or won't work at all.
So "bad sample rate (8000)" means that you should resample the audio file with 8000Hz, 16-bit sampling rate, mono-channel.
