there has to be something different about how the plugin plays the files that just dosnt work on L4D because the files are downloading and everything should be working.

[almcaeobtac]

Yes im working on making the sounds play a new way. Just wait a little bit

[almcaeobtac]

Ok, can someone who knows about L4D tell me how I would get a sound to play there?

[MikesTooLz]

I tried tweeking the plugin source but still didnt have any luck.

[almcaeobtac]

What have you tried?

[almcaeobtac]

Oh ya, can someone test this for me on TF2, and CSS?

[MikesTooLz]

I just tried compiling the plugin to see if it would play to just my client with EmitSoundToClient instead of EmitSoundToAll.


Still no sound playing.

[almcaeobtac]

Yah, I think EmitSound, etc. might not be for l4d.

But if that's the case what does l4d use for playing sounds then?

[MikesTooLz]

the blip sound played by the Becon plugin that comes with sourcemod works in L4d. but its ambient so if a client is playing it only people near by would hear.

 
 TE_SendToAll();
 
 GetClientEyePosition(client, vec);
 EmitAmbientSound(SOUND_BLIP, vec, client, SNDLEVEL_RAIDSIREN);

*********edit**********
Ive compiled the playlist plugin to use EmitAmbientSound but wont be able to test it out for another 4 hours(40PM) when I get home from work.

If anyone wants to jump on my L4D server and test if it works feal free.

OK, you can scratch that. It dosnt work, When I play a song it says its playing but I hear no sound. !mpl_name shows the correct song playing but !mpl_timeleft just always shows the full time of the song.

I gave it a try in my TF2 server. The sound downloads and it gets listed and all, but when I try to play it there's no sound. Generally I've been having problems working with MP3 files. I've been hunting for a plugin that'll just do one simple action (play a sound file) yet none of them seem to do it quite right. =/ Always one or two flaws getting in the way.
