Im trying to play sounds on my server. Im having a problem. First i have typed into my sound.txt the sound i want played: "howdy2" admin_plugin/howdy2.wav. I have the sound in srcds/hl2mp/sound/admin_plugin but when i type ma_play howdy2 in the console it says:
Failed to load sound "admin_plugin/howdy2.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository.
Can someone tell what this means help me with. And dont tell me to read any documents.

"add the file to the downloads.txt"
ok but how do i write it into text, the way its shown in the text (or the document!) is not very clear. im trying to download file: "howdy2" admin_plugin/howdy2.wav could you show me how i would write that into the text.
also i have other sounds that were their when i got the mani plugin and they work fine. so why are they not in the downloads.txt

bah.. what if you reconnect to the server again? does it re-download the file? and if it doesn't, does it work?
cuz i seem to remember way back when i actually wanted the sounds to work, they wouldn't always work right away, which is really annoying. but you had to reconnect again to make them work.

well if in console you type ma_play howdy2 to play the sound, then usually in chat you can type @play howdy2 and it should work.

Are you using sv_downloadurl?
Somewhere in the maniconfig there is a cvar that has been set to autodownload any sounds it finds within the soundlist.txt
