What you can do is adjust the ambience files the map is requesting. Make an empty ambience sound file for the maps your want to make stfu, just replace the ambience sound file with an empty one with exactly the same name.rnrnNobody has to press stopsound anymore as no sound is being played. As for a server sided plugin to enable stopsound, I figure you would need a plugin which stops any sound file from being played.

I'm sorry dude, after reading my own message it clearly looked like I was in a hurry. I also didn't know if you ran a custom/default map rotation or just a 24/7 onemap server.nnI just finished school so I'll first answer your questions and then I'll look into the option of disabling ambience sound.nnWith the stopping all sounds I meant all sounds from the ambience folder.nn

I may be wrong, but I read somewhere that if somebody wanted to do this, the sound files would have to be the same size as the original.

I've did some searching but can't complete it for you due to lack of knowledge of any map based plugins. Only messed around with players, not maps.rnrnHowever:rnrnThis is for a new round. I assume if you replace the sound/misc/zombie/ambience.mp3" into an empty wav file (im not sure why this plays an mp3 instead of a wav sound).rnrnAgain I don't know if this will overwrite the sound used on your map.rnrn

 #include <amxmodx>rn    rn    new const gs_AmbienSound[] = "sound/misc/zombie/ambience.mp3";rn    rn    public plugin_precache () rn    {rn        precache_generic( gs_AmbienSound );rn    }rn    rn    public plugin_init () rn    {rn        register_plugin ( "Ambience Sound", "0.1",  "DeeKeiD" );rn        register_event ( "HLTV", "e_NewRound", "a", "1=0", "2=0" );rn    }rnrn    public e_NewRound()rn    {rn        client_cmd ( 0, "mp3 play %s", gs_AmbienSound );rn    }

#include <amxmodx>rn    rn    new const gs_AmbienSound[] = "sound/misc/zombie/ambience.mp3";rn    rn    public plugin_precache () rn    {rn        precache_generic( gs_AmbienSound );rn    }rn    rn    public plugin_init () rn    {rn        register_plugin ( "Ambience Sound", "0.1",  "DeeKeiD" );rn        register_logevent( "e_RoundStart", 2, "1=Round_Start" );rn    }rnrn    public e_RoundStart()rn    {rn        client_cmd ( 0, "mp3 play %s", gs_AmbienSound );rn    }

Try this maybe this will work... havent done any testing myself! it should send stopsound to all players when someone respawn.. again didnt test it... please tell if it works or not...rnrn

a simple way might be to have a plugin find every ambient_generic entity in the map on map load and change the volume to 0nntho this might disable some sounds you'd want to hear depending on the map (such as round win sounds, spawn gun sounds, radio/mortar sounds, etc etc) ..tho you could probably try to read the spawnflags keyvalue to see which ones are sounds that play all the time or suchnnand you could probably get fancy with it and use a file to list sounds that you want to allow to still play and when its going thru the ambient_generic entities, if the file it uses matches one in the list of allowed sounds it wont set the volume to 0

Above stated plugin looks good. Wish I could create something like from the top of my head. Remember though (pointed at gunsofnavarone...love that movie btw) that this only kills ambience loop sounds. So once an airplane flies over you will hear it.rnrnOnly the loop ambience sounds, like the shooting on the background of non-game guns will be killed iwth this plugin.

I came across this while searching on amxmodxs forum... may help or give a heads up how to solve this http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=45461

Here copy paste this code. It was missing { and }'s probably due to php tags changing it around? Anyways, this is tested and compiled successfully.nnI would've given you the sma version but also I can't bypass as im no coder.nnn

The version posted doesn't work, so you prolly didn't do anything wrong. However, I wanted to figure it out myself (see it as a personal victory in learning stuff) and I came up with the following. Tested it on my avalanche server and works perfectly.nnHowever, this will probably won't kill sounds which are being produced once in a while like a mortar hit or an airplane flyby.nnThis is the code, again, I can't bypass waiting time, so just copy paste this into a sma file.nnAs for cvars, I never used cvars.ini, I always use amxx.cfg to place my cvars in. It's already auto-enabled and there is not much need to place the cvar in there. Only if the plugin contained more cvars it's handy to place them in amxx.cfg.nn

(!is_user_bot(id)

Great it works now!rnrn

//This returns falsern(!true)rn//This returns truern(!false)rn

So the ! just stands for NOT, NOT true=fals, NOT false=true? I'm trying to optimise my coding style a bit.rnrnI assume it sends out to everyone as it just detects any client spawning.rnrnI think if you need to do something to everyone, you would need this (I think):rnrn

new max_players[32],inum,irn	get_players(max_players,inum)rn	for(i = 0; i < inum; i++)rn	{your code}rn

http://www.amxmodx.org/funcwiki.php?search=bot&go=searchrnrnu just turn the values around.... (damn i hope i got this right lol)rnrn

rnis_user_bot(id) // if its a bot id would be 1 and we would go ON = count botsrn!is_user_bot(id) // if its a bot id would be set to 0 and we would STOP = ignore bots

id is a player index from 1 to 32. 0 will send to all players.

Ok, idk, although amxmodxmenu is handy I somehow still type everything by hand in console, always done it that way.rnrnI guess I'll look into that, see what it does for me. Thanks for the tip.rnrnAs far as your request. In all honesty what you are requesting can be done, but I have no idea how to do it as fast and easy and best as possible. My advice is to wait for someone like Synthetic, Diamond-Optic or any of the other developers rnrnIf they don't respond or can't think of something. The only thing I can think off is to sort and add all files from sound/ambience to a plugin, where it says: sound/ambience/ambienceexample = sound/ambience/imanemptywavfile. I dont know if it would work, but I guess thats worth a guess.

You can easily enable/disable the plugin by using the CVARs menu.rnJust add this line to the cvars.ini file (amxmodx/configs/) :rnrn

"dod_auto_stopsound" "0" "1" "u"
