I am writing a plugin where I want to play sounds that are stored on the server. When an event occurs and I want the sound file to play my client console says:

"S_StartSound: Failed to load sound 'sounds\test.mp3', file probably missing form disk/repository"

Do I have to somehow make the clients download the sound when they connect to the server? How do I do this? Thanks

You have to add and precache any sound/model etc to download table.

new Handle:cvarSound;

  public OnPluginStart()
{
  cvarSound = CreateConVar("sm_rickroll_sound", "rr2a.mp3", "Sound to play", FCVAR_PLUGIN);
}

public OnMapStart()
{
    decl String:sound[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH+1], String:path[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH+1];
    GetConVarString(cvarSound, sound, sizeof(sound));
    Format(path, sizeof(path), "sound/%s", sound);

    AddFileToDownloadsTable(path);
    PrecacheSound(sound);
}

What is the root directory that sourcemod looks in for the sound files? I am still getting the same error. I want to play I sound everytime someone dies in without doing damage to anyone during their life. Here is my code

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>


new DamageArray[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,};
new Handle:cvarSound;



public OnPluginStart()
{
cvarSound = CreateConVar("sm_humiliation", "humiliation.mp3", "Sound to play", FCVAR_PLUGIN);
PrecacheSound("sounds/humiliation.mp3")
HookEvent("player_death", Event_PlayerDeath)
HookEvent("player_hurt", Event_PlayerHurt)
}

public OnMapStart()
{
decl String:sound[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH+1], String:path[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH+1];
GetConVarString(cvarSound, sound, sizeof(sound));
Format(path, sizeof(path), "sounds/%s", sound);

AddFileToDownloadsTable(path);
PrecacheSound(sound);
}

public Event_PlayerDeath(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
new victim_id = GetEventInt(event, "userid")


if(DamageArray[victim_id] == 0){
PrintToServer("embarrased")
EmitSoundToAll("sounds/humiliation.mp3")
}
PrintToServer("a death occurred")

DamageArray[victim_id] = 0

}


public Event_PlayerHurt(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{

new attacker_id = GetEventInt(event, "attacker")

//PrintToServer("hurt occured")
DamageArray[attacker_id] = 1


}

tf\sound\blah.mp3 is where that sound would be pointing from. You have to change it if you wanted it in another folder.

[foot33333]

where is the "tf" folder? I am writing the mod for left 4 dead

[retsam]

I dont play l4d so...

but I dont see why it would be much different.

orangebox\tf\sound

[Dragonshadow]

For an L4d Dedi it would be l4d\left4dead\sound

[foot33333]

I have precached the sound file and I am still having the same problem. I have verified that the client is downloading the file properly. I have consolodated my code a little and here is what it looks like:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>


new DamageArray[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,};


public OnPluginStart()
{
AddFileToDownloadsTable("sound/humiliation.mp3");
PrecacheSound("sound/humiliation.mp3")
HookEvent("player_death", Event_PlayerDeath)
HookEvent("player_hurt", Event_PlayerHurt)
}


public Event_PlayerDeath(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
new victim_id = GetEventInt(event, "userid")

if(DamageArray[victim_id] == 0){
PrintToServer("embarrased")
EmitSoundToAll("sound/humiliation.mp3")
}
PrintToServer("a death occurred")

DamageArray[victim_id] = 0




}


public Event_PlayerHurt(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{

new attacker_id = GetEventInt(event, "attacker")

DamageArray[attacker_id] = 1

}

anyone have any other ideas? Again the client is still giving the error:

"S_StartSound: Failed to load sound 'sound\humiliation.mp3', file probably missing form disk/repository"

[retsam]

Look at my code. Im pretty sure you cant precache or addsounds to downloadtable onpluginstart....

Its gotta be OnMapStart or ConfigsExecuted I believe.

[foot33333]

I've updated my code and it is still throwing me the error:

"S_StartSound: Failed to load sound 'humiliation.mp3', file probably missing form disk/repository"

here is my new code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>


new DamageArray[8] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,};


public OnPluginStart()
{
   
   HookEvent("player_death", Event_PlayerDeath)
   HookEvent("player_hurt", Event_PlayerHurt)
}

public OnMapStart()
{
   AddFileToDownloadsTable("sound/humiliation.mp3");
   PrecacheSound("humiliation.mp3")
}



public Event_PlayerDeath(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
   new victim_id = GetEventInt(event, "userid")

   if(DamageArray[victim_id] == 0){
    PrintToServer("embarrased")
    EmitSoundToAll("humiliation.mp3")
   }
   PrintToServer("a death occurred")
    
   DamageArray[victim_id] = 0


 

}


public Event_PlayerHurt(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{

   new attacker_id = GetEventInt(event, "attacker")

   DamageArray[attacker_id] = 1
 
}
