Sounds...

[Knight]

Hey...I've been trying to upload my own sound onto my server, and this really isnt related to srcds aside from that its being used for the server...but if anyone knows what the problem might be, I would really appreciate it.

So, I put a sound into my sound/admin_plugin/personal folder (I created the personal folder) and in the soundlist.txt file I did the whole thing:

"Nightvision" admin_plugin/personal/Nightvision.wav

and I see it on the "Play Sounds" menu but when I click on it nothing happens and in console I get this message:


Failed to load sound "admin_plugin\personal\nightvision.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository


Any ideas?

did you download the sound when joining the server?

It also helps to use less folders /personal/nighvision.wav. Organization on a server makes for a good one and really helps the operator. Are you running this server off your home pc or do you rent one?

[Knight]

no Drocona, I didnt download it when I joined, however I've set the allow downloads thing in the server.cfg to 1 and it still doesnt work. I've even put the directories in the file download.txt which I wasnt suppoed to put in according to mani...

Hexitnow: I am running it off my computer, so I basically have the ability to screw around with it very easily. I still have no luck.

Any MORE ideas? lol

Edit: I've just tested it out by planting the sounds myself, and I assumed it would work, and it did, so therefore it has to be something with the client not downloading the files, but I cant figure out how to work that....

In the mani_server.cfg there is a cvar, mani_sounds_auto_download, change that to 1. Also make sure exec mani_server.cfg in your server.cfg file. Post your results.

you have to make a .res file in your maps folder for everymap thjats the only way it worked for me..

"resources"
{
"sound/misc/dominating.wav" "file"
"sound/misc/firstblood.wav" "file"
"sound/misc/godlike.wav" "file"
"sound/misc/headshot.wav" "file"
"sound/misc/holyshit.wav" "file"
"sound/misc/killingspree.wav" "file"

}

Do not do that. Makin a .res file is not necessary. If you set up mani correctly it is all taken care of for you. Plus when u do it like that it downloads everytime even if u have it. least thats how it happened for me.

I prefer the res files above mani. I just don't like other mods unless they do exactly what I want

but the re-download stuff is caused by some bug with the .dat files in the download folder. Mostly happens when downloading files without sv_downloadurl

Ok...well I still havent gotten this to work. On a second topic, I'm having trouble with the server itself. I've forwarded the ports necesary, and still after loading Mani and everything I get a message in srcds saying that
A: It couldnt load mani_server.cfg
and
B: It couldnt connect to the steam servers

Any ideas?

[Drocona]

Couldn't load mani_server.cfg simply means it's not there or in the wrong folder, other than you specified.

Also connection to the steam servers isn't fatal, I have it sometimes it doesnt crash or do anything bad to the server.
