Okay now I'm asking the BIG questions. How do u get sound into your maps. It never works. I made the song a wave and I made sure it was under EDIT:3 minutes. Plus I added it to the ambience folder and the sound folder in the cstrike directory. Any Help?

EDIT:sorry i accidentaly typed 30

Needs to be under 3, so that is perhaps a problem.

what did you write for the sound location in the ambient_generic properties?

yeah i've treid that but i also forgot to mention that i'm trying to use a custom wave (song in the map) but it doesn't work. it's a wave+it's under 3 minutes but it doesn't work. the path is correct according to most tutorial. one said that you can't use the full path or something like that. it said that the name of the song should be the only thing you should see in the properties, but i've tried it this was too and it don't work.

In the properties of your ambient_generic, what is the path to the wav-file?

it's usally something like c:/docu/rr3005/desktop/nbu/cs/cstrike/sound/ambient/wave.wav
I also had it say wave.wav which it what the website told me to use

Update: i think i just figured it out. I searched sound in the forums so I'm going to try it tonight and see what happens.

Yeah, consider a smaller path, I seem to remember KD said Hammer had issues with that.

You have to use relative paths, ambient_generic uses the "sound"-folder as the root, so if your sound is in: c:/docu/rr3005/desktop/nbu/cs/cstrike/sound/ambient/wave.wav

then the filepath in the ambient_generic should say: ambient/wave.wav
