So deleting the maps\soundcache folder fixed that weird issue, but I wasn't able to reproduce the bug I was originally having. I tried connecting somewhere else then connecting to the server with the download but the sound was playable. Oh well, I guess that's good news.

I'm not sure, it's just something to consider. However, when I was trying to test this theory, I ran into something interesting. After downloading the sounds, I closed HL2 and deleted them to try the bug out again. With the files deleted, I started HL2. To make sure they were gone, I started a listen server and typed this in the console: ] play sourceop/radio/whatislov Failed to load sound "sourceop\radio\whatislov.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository ] play sourceop/radio/whatislove The file whatislove.wav is deleted, and no sound was played, but there was no error complaining about it like there was when I misspelled the file name. This seemed strange to me for two reasons. One, the file was deleted before HL2 was started. Two, this suggests that the game still thinks it exists somehow. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yahn Bernier Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 4:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Sound Downloading Bug Certainly there could still be issues, but I reworked the startup order of the engine to not try and load the sounds until after any "downloads" had finished.

After deleting the sounds and trying it again, it seems to work fine now. The first time I tried it, it downloaded the sounds but then the client console said that the file wasn't found when played. I verified that the sounds were indeed in the steam folder. Weird that it would occur just once. Anyways, sorry to bother. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yahn Bernier Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 4:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Sound Downloading Bug Should work for all MODs Yahn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Paloma Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 4:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlcoders] Sound Downloading Bug This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] A while back there was a bug where when a player downloads a sound, it can't be used until the player restarts his or her game. This was supposedly fix, but I only see the fix working for CSS. The bug still seems to exist in HL2:DM. Was this a CSS only fix or was it supposed to be for both? If the fix wasn't applied to both, will Valve please apply the fix to HL2:DM? -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
