the only way to play music directly thru halflife/dod would be with the spk command (for wavs) or the mp3 command (obviously for mp3s).. both of which will only play it to the client its executed on....nnlike in your other thread about pretty much the same thing, theres no way for a plugin or anything in halflife/dod to control another application to play musicnnnall music played via the game would have to be in the /sounds/ directory.. and i dont see how people would be able to play any of the music without downloading it, unless im not really following what youre saying here.. so forgive me if im not

open an auto-play embed in html from motd.txt via flash code - that streaming the music ...the music will continue streaming/playing if the player close the motd-window... and it is no need of precaching too!

Indeed, however there would be no way to stop that ghzero, not that I can think of. Diamond, you are correct in what he is asking, and you are also correct that the users will have to download a bunch of music IOT have a selection of music. This could also be a copyright infringement, and if say one of the players on your server was a band member, unlikely? who fucking knows, he could get your ip and sue you. So I would stay to the default sounds that come with HL.rnrnJust my thoughts!

well as far as the copyright stuff.. i wouldnt really be concerned with that... nnnthe odds of that happening are extremely incredibly low.. and im sure a dod server would be on the bottom of the list of what they might go after.. I would think p2p networks, torrent, and blogs would be more likely to be a target, and since they rarely are, i would think that it would be no issue at all with a game server

This looks like a good place for this.nk, so I tried to replace tatsueis music plugin with another. No dice. Some of you may have seen me looking for answer's on that other website. :)nSo I'm back to tat's plugin. Only thing it has a problem with is more than 8 files for some reason. No one can connect to the server if I use more. I've shortened all the files, so download time is 15 seconds for all on cable. Anyone tell me why it does this?nn

I think this will help you. When you wanna add a new sound, add 1 to "Maxsounds" rnrnEg.rnrn

#define Maxsounds 8

#define Maxsounds 9

new soundlist[Maxsounds][] = {rn	rn	"Beer1", 		// 1rn	"Beer2", 		// 2rn	"Beer3", 		// 3 rn	"Beer4", 		// 4rn	"game", 		// 5rn	"shortbodies", 	// 6rn	"pron", 		// 7rn	"Walk"		// 8rn}

new soundlist[Maxsounds][] = {rn	rn	"Beer1", 		// 1rn	"Beer2", 		// 2rn	"Beer3", 		// 3 rn	"Beer4", 		// 4rn	"game", 		// 5rn	"shortbodies", 	// 6rn	"pron", 		// 7rn	"Walk",		// 8rn	"New_Song"		// 9rn}

Music playing fine, but not precached.

Music playing fine, but not precached.

***Edit****nPrecache works fine now, but same thing as the basic plugin. After 8 mp3's the server will not let anyone join. Must be a size limit to the cache or something.

weird, show code and attach the sounds.

started to upload sounds, but it's over 20M. I'm betting thats why. I didn't realize it was such a large amount. I haven't taken the time to shorten 2 of the sounds and they are both over 6M.

show the code! :)

Only changed the new song name to this love.rnrnrn
