How to play sound on command [CS:GO] - Page 2

On PrecacheSound() and EmitSound() you do not have to put the "sound/" folder in the pathway. It assumes that is already inside there. That is probably your issue.

hmm, interesting, ill check that and return info

Meh, still same
Code

PHP Code:


			
public OnMapStart()
{
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("sound/realmod/heal.wav");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("sound/realmod/buy.wav");
    PrecacheSound("realmod/heal.wav");
    PrecacheSound("realmod/buy.wav");
}

PHP Code:


			
       EmitSoundToClient(client, "realmod/buy.wav");

error

PHP Code:


			
[Sound] S_StartSound(): Failed to load sound 'realmod\buy.wav'. File is missing from disk/repository.

Hm, well some reason it can't find that file. Are you sure it is downloading when you join?

Jcrr · 07-31-2015 , 11:37 Re: How to play sound on command [CS:GO]

Yes its downloading, and file exist in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\sound\realmod
It's very strange

Some notes:

See CSGO Quirks.
PrecacheSound does nothing on the client side in CS:GO. Either a sound is in the client's precompiled cache or it isn't. This means you can't EmitSound arbitrary sounds either.
The play trick doesn't use positional data and thus you can't emit sounds from specific entities.
The Fake precaching and EmitSound trick only works on MP3s... this is what EmitSoundAny uses.
The music directory trick makes the sounds use the CS:GO music volume slider.

Sound callout:

PHP Code:


			
EmitSoundToClient(client, "sound/realmod/buy.wav");  
EmitSoundToClient(client, "sound/realmod/heal.wav");

And it gives me that error:

PHP Code:


			
[Sound] S_StartSound(): Failed to load sound 'sound\realmod\heal.wav'. File is missing from disk/repository.
[Sound] S_StartSound(): Failed to load sound 'sound\realmod\buy.wav'. File is missing from disk/repository.

Files are succesful downloaded from server, and they are present in dir:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\sound\realmod

In precache you must remove folder name, in precache you need only file name.
And on emit sound only file name,

Do it my way, but you have to convert the sound's sample rate. I forgot how.

Ok, solved:

Recent reports indicate that this only works for mp3s and not wavs. In the latter case nothing will happen apart from you experiencing puzzled facial expressions and headaches on yourself.

My code now:

PHP Code:


			
public OnMapStart()
{
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("sound/realmod/heal.mp3");
    AddFileToDownloadsTable("sound/realmod/buy.mp3");
    PrecacheSound("*/realmod/heal.mp3");
    PrecacheSound("*/realmod/buy.mp3");
}

Calling for sound

PHP Code:


			
EmitSoundToClient(client, "*/realmod/buy.mp3");

Working fine

Oh, I forgot about that CSGO quirk. Why did Valve add this to CSGO? It doesn't really seem to do much beside make us add an asterisk. Maybe it was incase there are sounds outside of the sound folder?

you dont need the astris...
