I'm pretty new to Half Life mods, and it seems that to get HLamp working, I need to edit some config files. What do I do, exactly?

Thanks in advance.

Allow me to introduce you to my friend, Sneaky Amp.

This plugin is infinitely better than HLamp because it works outside of Halflife. It just monitors your keyboard for set key patterns, (user-defined), and controls WinAMP that way. You can use Sneaky Amp from inside any program, and there's no chance it will be accidentally flagged by anti-cheat programs because it's not a Half-Life hook- just a WinAMP plugin.

I orignally found it back when I played EverQuest, (which you can't Alt+Tab out of). Currently only works with WinAMP 2, but HLamp also has problems with WinAMP 3, apparently.

Sneaky Amp works perfectly, thanks for your help.

Sorry, but Sneaky Amp just ended up eating my system resources. Does anyone else know of a good MP3 plugin, or how to get HLamp working?

Anyone?

I've gotten it working no problem.. here's the contents of my WAcontrol.cfg file. Make one yourself, toss it in \ns, and 'exec WAcontrol.cfg' when you get into the game.
Controls are as follows:
KP 0 = Previous Track
KP . = Next Track
KP 1 = Play
KP 2 = Pause
KP 3 = Stop
KP 4 = Toggle Shuffle play-mode
KP 5 = Echo current track name
KP 6 = Toggle Repeat play-mode
UP ARROW = Volume increase
DOWN ARROW = Volume decrease
RIGHT ARROW = Fast Forward
LEFT ARROW = Rewind
(Note: Binds assume you are not using the keypad for anything, nor the arrow keys)
