when I do this my server console says:

SV_StartSound: humiliation.mp3 not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: humiliation.mp3 not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: humiliation.mp3 not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: humiliation.mp3 not precached (0)

I am guessing that it it is trying to play it to all 4 players and is having problems everytime. With this change I do not get the error in my client console but the sound doesn't play either

AFAIK you don't need to specify "sounds" folder when use PrecacheSound. If sound path is "<mod>/sound/humiliation.mp3", do this:

PHP Code:

PrecacheSound("humiliation.mp3");

I don't have the folder specified currently. This is the code that I have:

#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
 
}

and this is the error that I see in the client console

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

also, if I change:

 EmitSoundToAll("humiliation.mp3")

to

 EmitSoundToAll("sound/humiliation.mp3")

I get the error:

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

Hi,
I have absolutely no idea if this might help, but before i began to search for "how to play custom sounds", i tried a few things myself to get the "Quake Sounds" Plugin running on my L4D2 Listening Server.

"play" or "sm_play" always results in missing file error
but with "playgamesound" it works for me

dont know if "snd_audiorebuildcache" did do its part too, but the sounds now work for me while cutting down zombies

(ignore if the cmd isnt the point - iam just a user ;))

From my experience, custom sounds in L4D/2 won't play unless you have used "snd_audiorebuildcache" after downloading them. Basically L4D/2 won't play a sound that isn't in the audio cache, it 'll pop up that error you've been seeing about "Failed to load sound, file probably missing form disk/repository" even if the sound is in the correct place.

[Whosat]

Have you verified that the file was actually downloaded? Go to the folder and look for the file. (If it isn't there, its either your code's fault or L4D's fault. Last I read L4D didn't allow file downloads)

[McFlurry]

The only way you would be able to get custom sounds for l4d/l4d2 to work would be to make the plugin edit the audio.cache file for each client, though no one has implemented that method yet...
