HL2 or custom song during the connection to server

[Gladiator]

Hello!

I am looking for a plugin that makes possible to play music at the background when someone is joining the server while loading or downloading a map.

Does anyone have a solution?


Thanks,
Gladiator

doesn't mani do something like that? i've only had that on 1 server and it was a cs 1.6 deathmatch server. and no i don't know what plugin it ran

[Gladiator]

No, it is not working with Mani Admin Plugin.
I have searched on Mani forums already. No luck.

I don't think it's possible in Source, it was in 1.6 just like the graphics banner.

[JoKer]

no its possible its in alot of servers i go in but i havent figured it out yet

[Drocona]

oh well that's new, you mind giving me an IP of a server that has it?

[JoKer]

it was some de_dust server that had it, it had that "get ready to rumble" techno or trance or something remix on it but it lasted what 5 seconds

[Drocona]

You know how many de_dust servers there are?

[JoKer]

last time i counted September 8, 2006 5:06pm

347 Servers for de_dust NOT de_dust2.
all of them 150 ping and under with players playing and not full. im guessing there is over 500+ with no players or full and with 150+ ping. My guess to find it.



Start Clicking.

Lol i figured this out along time ago.
If you want it to play in the motd, type this line in the motd:
<BGSOUND SRC="http://sitetoyoursong.mp3">
replace the sitetoyoursong with the link to the song. The song will play all the way through and if the song was running while the server is changing level, it will continue to play till u rejoin. I suggest that u also add a page to stop the music. Just any other webpage will do. in the webshortcutlist.txt file, add "music" http://sitetotheotherwebpage.com
replace sitetotheotherwebpage with your own .html page. so whenever people wanna turn off the song, they type music and type motd to turn it back on.

Ahhh so thats how it's done. I'll have to try this I think a little music would really spice it up.

For all who wants to know how to force players to open a music page at the end of a map.
Here is a way with EventScript: ( I didn't test it )

Requirements:
- Mani Admin Plugin
- EventScript

Create a file called music.cfg and put this code inside.

Code:

// custom music during map load
// Force players to type "music" at the end of the map.

event game_end
{
es_cexec #all "say music"
}

Move it to ...\cstrike\cfg\events\ folder
Don't forget to add "exec music" (without ") in server.cfg.

Add this line to webshortcutlist.txt:

Code:

// webshortcutlist.txt for Mani-Admin-Plugin
// Webpage is at the background during mapload and plays a music.
// If map fully loaded, server motd will appear and the music stops.

"music" http://www.mywebspace.net/music.htm

Just change the website address only.

Did you notice how old this thread is?

[BuIIeT]

Yeah... this is an old post lol.

Thanks for the additional information though.

I think in 1.6 they did it like this:

Whenever you joined to the server, the server used a clientcommand 'play sounds/music/somemusicfile.wav' on you. So you had music while you were downloading maps and things..
