A few newb ?'s

[Ihmhi]

Okay, I created ff_testmapzorz_level_sounds.txt and put it in the maps folder alongside my map.

It contains:

// game sounds for ff_testmapzorz
"ff_testmapzorz.ka_boom"
{
    "channel"    "CHAN_STATIC"
    "volume"    "1.0"
    "soundlevel"     "SNDLVL_100dB"
    "wave"        "*ff_testmapzorz/ka_boom.wav"
}

I put the sound ka_boom.wav in the folder sound/ff_testmapzorz.

My Lua has this line near the top:

PrecacheSound("ff_testmapzorz.ka_boom")

And this is the detpack code it is tied to:

base_wall_trigger = trigger_ff_script:new({ team = Team.kUnassigned, team_name = "neutral" })

function base_wall_trigger:onexplode( explosion_entity )
if IsDetpack( explosion_entity ) then
local detpack = CastToDetpack( explosion_entity )

-- GetTeamId() might not exist for buildables, they have their own seperate shit and it might be named differently
if detpack:GetTeamId() ~= self.team then
OutputEvent( self.team_name .. "_wall", "Kill" )
BroadCastSound ( "ff_testmapzorz.ka_boom" )
BroadCastMessage( "ololololol" )


end
end

-- I think this is needed so grenades and other shit can blow up here. They won't fire the events, though.
return EVENT_ALLOWED
end

yellow_wall_trigger = base_wall_trigger:new({ team = Team.kYellow, team_name = "yellow" })
green_wall_trigger = base_wall_trigger:new({ team = Team.kGreen, team_name = "green" })

Yet I get this in console:

SV_StartSound: *ff_testmapzorz/ka_boom.wav not precached (0)
SV_StartSound: *ff_testmapzorz/ka_boom.wav not precached (0)

Now, here's the kicker. If I open scripts/game_sounds_ff_misc.txt and add the following in there:

// game sounds for ff_testmapzorz
"ff_testmapzorz.ka_boom"
{
    "channel"    "CHAN_STATIC"
    "volume"    "1.0"
    "soundlevel"     "SNDLVL_100dB"
    "wave"        "*ff_testmapzorz/ka_boom.wav"
}

It not only works fine, but I can remove the ff_testmapzorz_level_sounds.txt.

I want to figure out how to get a custom sound to play, but I can not just add lines to existing game files. It has to be seperate files. What if I make a map that I want to release? I need to have files that can be downloaded to the proper directories and have everything work. ):
