I can't get the background sound to work? I want to play the music when the AI passes the triggers?

music() { MusicPlay( "music" ); wait 60; MusicStop( 5 ); } you have to place the music sound in ur soundaliases folder ofcource That musicstop line is not nessesary, it's only if you want to stop the stop after a certain time (here it is 1 min). 5 means the time that the music will fade out, so it won't just stop instantly

Code: sound,common,sp_wctrevo,!all_sp sound,generic,sp_wctrevo,!all_sp sound,voiceovers,sp_wctrevo,!all_sp sound,requests,sp_wctrevo,!all_sp sound,sp_wctrevo,sp_wctrevo,!all_sp rawfile,soundaliases/sp_wctrevo.csv Done that and ad this to the assets file, but still doesn't work? P.S. music is 'jeepride_rescue_music'

I know why it didn't find the normal ones (the ! needs to be deleted). But how to let it detect new ones?

You shouldn't remove the ! on every soundsalias, this will mean that every single sound is loaded and cause some strain on the memory. To create a new soundalias just start a new .txt doc in the same location as all the others and label it like you would any stock soundfile sound,SOUNDALIASNAME,MAPNAME,all_sp Your actual soundalias should look something like; ALIASNAME,,music/SOUNDNAME.mp3,0.95,,max,,,,,music,streamed,,,master,MAPNAME,,,,,,music,nowetlevel fulldrylevel,,, See if that helps.

Still doesn't work. Maybe it's a fault somewhere in the code? Part of the sp_wctrevo.gsc: Code: BackMusic() { MusicPlay( "wct_start_mission" ); MusicTrig1 = getent( "ComeCloseMusic", "targetname" ); MusicTrig1 waittill("trigger"); MusicStop( 5 ); MusicPlay( "wct_comming_close" ); MusicTrig2 = getent( "InvasionMusic", "targetname" ); MusicTrig2 waittill("trigger"); MusicStop( 5 ); MusicPlay( "wct_enemy_invasion" ); MusicTrig3 = getent( "StopableMusic", "targetname" ); MusicTrig3 waittill("trigger"); MusicStop( 5 ); MusicPlay( "wct_not_stopable" ); } My soundaliases: Code: ,,"If the first column for a row is blank, then the row is ignored" ,"If the first column for a row is blank, then the row is ignored", # The first non-comment line of a sound alias file specifies the key name for all values appearing in this column.,, "# This means it is safe to swap entire columns around, though you should never swap partial columns.",, "# You can invent new keys, but the game will ignore them if it doesn't know about them.",, "# You can leave out keys, but the ""name"" and ""file"" keys must always be present.",, ,name,name of the alias that is used to play this sound (required) ,sequence,"used to uniquely identify alias entries when more than one sound goes to an alias, used only to catch unwanted duplicates (default = 0)" ,file,the name of the file that contains the sound data (required) ,vol_min,"0 is silent, 1 is full volume (default = 1)" ,vol_max,"0 is silent, 1 is full volume (default = same as vol_min)" ,vol_mod,"blank causes no effect on vol_min and vol_max, otherwise the string must match a string in the volumemodgroups.def file and the value in that file corresponding to that string will be used to adjust vol_min and vol_max, clamped to the valid range" ,pitch_min,"1 is normal playback, 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 is half as fast (default = 1)" ,pitch_max,"1 is normal playback, 2 is twice as fast, 0.5 is half as fast (default = same as pitch_min)" ,dist_min,"within this distance in inches, the sound is always full volume (default = 120)" ,dist_max,"outside this distance in inches, the sound is not started.

I'm assuming the music won't play and no error is returned, am I correct? If so, try doing this: Add the following flicktion to your mapname_code.gsc. Code: music_play( musicalias, time ) { level notify( "music_loop" ); // TODO: make current music fade over delay if( isdefined( time ) ) { musicStop( time ); wait time; } else musicStop(); MusicPlayWrapper( musicalias ); } If, by chance, if you do not know how to activate _code.gsc, then include your main script into the _code script, then do the reverse (include _code into your main script). Afterwards, replace your MusicPlay flicktions with this. Code: delaythread( 2.25, ::music_play, "attack_go_music" ); I understand if you think I'm trying to change your script to... well, my style, but this has worked for me efficiently, so why don't you give this a try? As a final note, is the BackMusic() function called properly?

Still won't work, but I think it is because the sounds don't get loaded to the game? (problem with the csv or something)

If the musics are custom, I would tag them to be 'loaded' not streamed. This method had fixed a bit of a headache for me not too long ago. :) Try it and let me know what you come up with.
