Music won't play

#1 · December 9, 2007, 11:04 pm

I'm working on my map, and would like some music that's included in the .gcf to play. (specifically, no_cake_for_you.mp3) However, the ambient_generic refuses to play it. Does anyone know how to get this working? I know the credits song was an mp3, and they got that to play...

Thanks in advance,
Cole

Is it tied to a trigger? You have to tell it to play, you can't just expect it to know when to start.

I've tried both starting it with a trigger and having it playing when the map starts, neither works.

A console log from when you try to run it might be helpful, given that it'll usually throw an error for this sort of thing. Off the top of my head, I have to guess you've got the path to the file wrong.

Am I reading you right in that you are trying to use one of the music files included with the game? If so, what's your path to it? Did you base that on looking at how the devs did it on an official map?
