Custom map sounds not working?

xm3kilo · **Author**

Very strange issue. I copy pasted my server to a new installation ( I haven't used it pre new update ) and I'm getting issues where packed sounds into maps (and EVEN if they're in my sounds folder) are not playing with a

[Sound] S_StartSound(): Failed to load sound 'name.mp3'. File is missing from disk or is invalid.

error. But 1 out of like 10 will work. Any idea..? Is this new?

Completely broken all of my map music.

Cheers

Same thing, I think recent update (30.04) broke it somehow, adding snd_disable_legacy_audio_cache 0 in csgo launch settings fixes problem, but that's only for you ...

It works only with ambient_generic entities, but soundscapes still not working

Thanks but for me it only stops the errors, the sounds still do not play.

EDIT: It worked for one song but not the others..weird.

add * before sound path if you use .mp3
i.e *music/name.mp3

That will work only with ambinent_generic, soundscapes still not working.. I tried to read soundscapes file and add sounds manually to precache string table (with "*" or with ")", "~" or "~*" at the beginning) and that didn't help... So I have no clue on how to fix soundscapes, I think the only way is to wait for valve to fix it, if that even happens.

Okay, valve fixed it: http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2018/05/20410/
