My soundscape is not working!

[Grassen]

So i've watched videos and downloaded community soundscapes to see if i've formatted my .txt file wrong. So far I had no luck on hearing my custom soundscape

Here's the soundscape .txt file i have

"restful.mind"
{
"dsp" "1"
"dsp_volume" "1"

"playlooping"
{
"volume" "1"
"wave" "sound/restful_mind.wav"
"pitch" "100"
"attenuation" "0.1"
}
}

"red.mind"
{
"dsp" "1"
"dsp_volume" "1"

"playlooping"
{
"volume" "1"
"wave" "sound/red_mind.wav"
"pitch" "100"
"attenuation" "0.1"
}

}


then I've extracted the soundscape_manifest.txt file from gcfscape to add it as an additional param. to be looked at.
Also I have used LoopAuditioneer to create cues from start to end so it can loop.
When opening hammer, the file appears and could be hear with ambient_generic but will not play in-game.
Anyone know what could be the issue?

What exactly do you mean with "soundscape_manifest.txt file from gcfscape to add it as an additional param"?
and where is the soundscape and what is it called?

This thing:
soundscapes_manifest
{

"file" "scripts/soundscapes.txt"

}
(im not 100% knowning of the terminology)

 

[gidi30]

you are not supposed to modify the manifest file
you are supposed to call your soundscape file "soundscapes_<exact filename of your map (without .bsp)>.txt"
i am unsure if tf2 even loads the soundscape manifest file outside of the vpk

 

[Grassen]

how do I call my soundscape file, its my first time dealing with adding custom soundscapes

 

[gidi30]

if your map is called something like "koth_something_a1.bsp" then the soundscape file would be called "soundscapes_koth_something_a1.txt"

 

[Grassen]

Ok, i am going to test it out. ill report back if it worked or not

 

[Grassen]

So I've tested it and no luck with this

^---- in-game

Tho, i did as instructed where i named my .txt the exact same as my map. Maybe its the audio file itself?
