We're pretty sure that these files are restricted due to the new sv_pure convar introduced around the time this issue was reported. We have all been too busy on shipping The Orange Box to look into this. Sorry about that.
Please try this experiment: 1. Check the value of 'sv_pure' on the dedicated and listen servers; I'm guessing the value will be '0' on the server that is working 2. If 'sv_pure' is '1' on the listen server then set it to '0' and try reloading the level 3. If custom sounds now work, set it back to '1' and make sure that the 'pure_server_whitelist.txt' file has the location of your sound files with the 'allow_from_disk' attribute associated with that path. Refer to http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Pure_Servers for more info on that file. Please let me know if this problem is fixed by modifying the whitelist file. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hyperjag 3 Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 7:55 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Broken custom sound scripts? I did more testing on this myself after the last series of emails, and the only thing I found was that the custom soundscripts still seem to work on dedicated servers, just not listen servers. I don't know if this is something about my mod or not though, but I figured it might be able to help pinpoint the problem. >From: Jeremy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com >To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com >Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Broken custom sound scripts? >Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:21:41 -0700 > >-- >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >Any followup to this?
