Where would I go about adding custom sounds?

Hello,

I was wondering where and how I'd import custom sounds that I could then play using the /playsound command for all players to hear? Thanks.

/playsound?

It's hardly used, ever.

What is it specifically you're looking for. Ambient sounds, CP Sounds?

 

I'd like to be able to use custom sounds to be played during events.

Ex:

- Music

- Speeches

- Extra zombie / creature custom sounds?

But that would only play sounds within the Half-Life 2 game files, correct? I'm looking to import my own custom made sounds.

 

You'd just have to go into the code and change the paths for the hl2 sound files to the new sound files you want.

 

Yes but.. where would I add the sound files? How would I get them into my server? :S

 

I think I'm confused about what you're trying to ask.

If you want to be able to do /playsound <soundfile>, then just put the sound files in the server's sound folder, I believe.

 

yeah add it to the sounds folder, but make sure you do a resource.addfile lua in /lua/autorun

 

Right, forgot this step.

Do both these things and you should be set!

 

Let me confirm this one last time.

1. Drag any custom mp3 into my sounds folder (I need to know where that is, sadly.)

2. Put the sound file on workshop and make a "addworkshopresource" in my fastDL file.

Also, how would I find the sound file's directory path to actually play it in-game?

 

So, in your server files:

garrysmod/garrysmod/sound

That's literally it. It should be in the same place as /models/, /materials/, /gamemodes/, etc.

Then you just do /playsound sound/blahblah.mp3
