My sounds arent playing, its very annoying. What I have is an ambient_generic in front of a big machine, and its set to play the 'bighum.mp3' file. When I selected the file location, it entered in 'ambience/bighum.mp3' I tohught mabye you needed a full path, but when I had the entire path to the file, the game crashed and said it could not load sound file D (D being the drive my steam folder is in) The volume is set to 10 as is the start volume, the spinup time is set to 1, as is the fade in time. There is no dynamic preset, and I set the flag 'medium radius'
Alas my sound doesnt play. Help? I went to the verc collective, but that didnt help too much.

Ah that's your problem
ambient_generic plays .wavs only
use trigger_mp3audio for .mp3 files

There are some different things you will need to do with the mp3audio entity. Post here if you need them. Don't bother making another post.

Ill try the target_mp3audio (theres no trigger_mp3audio in my entities list) but I cant even get my ambient_generics to play wavs!

to play mp3 files never worked for me, no matter what I have tried.
