Packing Soundscapes
Oh, it's OK if you want to keep the map secret, I can respect that.
There's no hurry since I got a working solution right now (the console command mentioned above); I was just curious about the science behind your multi-manifest file method 
I'll just be patient and wait until you release your map, and have a look at it then.

Alright, I think Jose was actually investigating why it works now anyways, looking at the custom files for the map 
.
Expect a teaser image really soon though....hopefully by the end of this week! To be honest some images are ready, I', just paranoid about sharing to early .
I changed the soundscape file to soundscapes_<mapname>.txt but the custom sound still doesn't work. The stock sound that's in it does though.
Ok, so what you should do now is have a soundscape name in that file, for example it may look like:
- Code: Select all
"sndsc_ct_spawn_01"
{
"fadetime" "0.75"
"dsp" "1"
"playlooping"
{
"volume" ".4"
"pitch" "100"
"wave" "ambientatmosphereoffice_outside_tone_01.wav"
}
"playlooping"
{
"volume" ".1"
"pitch" "100"
"wave" "ambientatmospheremountain_wind_lp_01.wav"
}
"playrandom"
{
"time" "21,35"
"volume" "0.05,0.1"
"pitch" "95,100"
"position" "random""rndwave"
{
"wave" "ambientanimalhawk_01.wav"
"wave" "ambientanimalhawk_02.wav"
"wave" "ambientanimalhawk_03.wav"
"wave" "ambientanimalhawk_04.wav"
"wave" "ambientanimalhawk_05.wav"
"wave" "ambientanimalhawk_06.wav"
}
}
"playrandom"
{
"time" "5,13"
"volume" "0.05,0.15"
"pitch" "95,100"
"position" "random""rndwave"
{
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_01.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_02.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_03.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_04.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_05.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_06.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_07.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_08.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_09.wav"
"wave" "ambientwindcss15_wind_10.wav"
}
}
}
Where sndsc_ct_spawn_01 is the name of the soundscape you would put in the map. Then add the name of the actual file, not the soundscape name, into the manifest for soundscapes in portal2/scripts and dlc1/scripts.
Hope that helps you out!
Yeah, that's what I originally did. But the custom sound won't play, and the STOCK sound DOES play. I already tried rebuilding audio cache countless times.
Can you give the path of your custom sound? My custom ones were under sound/ambient
Ah okay, they're in the right place then. Are they in a format that Portal 2 recognizes. I don't know it exactly but I heard it was so many hertz.....
Another thing is that in Portal 2, when I entered the soundscape, the sound worked but I forgot to loop it so it worked for a few seconds. Now that I looped it with a program, it doesn't work.

44100 Hz (44.1KHz), the same sampling rate as a CD.
