Although I'm a few months of finishing, I'm getting the creditation sorted for Lunkin. I'm using the music code below (- minus the music here stuff nonsense I replaced the "long winded different level music stuff of mine" with.
But I can't remember where I got it, and who wrote it:
void() musicplay =
{
music here stuff !
};
void() playmusic =
{
local entity music;
music = spawn();
music.nextthink = time + 1;
music.think = musicplay;
};
Ideas? _________________ my site |

I'll help you. Replace the code with this.
void() musicplay =
{
sound (self, CHAN_VOICE, "music.wav", 1, ATTN_NONE);
};
voi() playmusic =
{
local entity music1, music2;
music1 = spawn ();
music2 = spawn ();
music1.origin = '-4096 -4096 -4096';
music2.origin = '4096 4096 4096';
music1.think = musicplay;
music2.think = musicplay;
music1.nextthink = time + 1.0;
music2.nextthink = time + 1.0;
};
If you do this, I'll let you credit nobody It's a common method for doing sound. (You have two sound players in different extremities of the level. This makes it so it doesn't sound like the music is coming out of only one speaker when turning in a certain direction)
Actually, the common method is:
void() playmusic =
{
ambientsound ('-4096 -4096 -4096', "music.wav", 1, ATTN_NONE);
ambientsound ('4096 4096 4096', "music.wav", 1, ATTN_NONE);
};
But that will make the sound play right away. If that's what you want (i.e. you won't be able to change the track til the level changes), then you can use that. Also the music must be looping to use the ambientsound version. _________________ F. A.

It's a shame the stereo sound hack method suppousedly doesn't work.
Record one channel as one .wav file, record the other channel as another .wav file .. play one wav at one side, and the other wav at the other end of the level.
It doesn't synch, although I'd like to try this for myself one day - especially in a 2D gameplay mod (I'll probably test it out using TAoV...)
So close  |

Thanks for the replies, on a different but connected note, and back to this bit of code:
void() musicplay =
{
music here stuff !
};
void() playmusic =
{
local entity music;
music = spawn();
music.nextthink = time + 1;
music.think = musicplay;
};
How could I turn it off? _________________ my site |

play a different sound (such as misc/null.wav) on the same entity and the same channel. _________________ When my computer inevitably explodes and kills me, my cat inherits everything I own. He may be the only one capable of continuing my work. |

IIRC, null.wav is a looping sound. I prefer to play out beloved r_exp3.wav with volume 0, it works  _________________ #EOP |

It's looping? The sound quake uses to stop other sounds is looping?

Well, look at it this way, if you ever had to stop an ambientsound (Which only accepts loops), It'd be real handy to have. =P _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

Which is why null.wav being looped is so damn funny.  _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

I know what is the purpose: you can use it to create an ambientsound for quiet places! Yes, that is it. If you want a sound of frogs, there is one for it. If you want wind, there is another one. If you want no sound at all, you use this.
