Using HL2 Soundscapes

I think you need to add it with pakrat and it'll be fine.

In the TF2 maps so far they've used the basic soundscapes (ie indoors, outdoors ambience). I presume so, but it's a common question among mods about whether it is possible to use hl2 materials without the original game.

As far as i'm aware, you can. If you couldn't, there would be a whole load of emails to valve about missing textures/sounds etc etc.

People who only own TF2 have no problem viewing the default HL2 textures and sounds, so anything you find in hammer you can use

btw, most of the Orange Box soundscapes and ambient sounds are EXTREMELY buggy, randomly working and often not working at all. It's probably best to just pakrat any non-TF2 sounds.

oh, how did you miss Youme's 2nd post?????
