Custom sounds not working for steam version

I tried some of the sound packs from the custom content post but unlike last time (Non-steam version), It didnt work. I was still stuck with the original sounds, Please help?

 

What about mat hacks?

 

I'll make one and get back to you.

 

This has been annoying me too.
Simply putting the sound folder in username/Empires or username/Empires/Empires doesn't work.

 

it would work if sv_pure is 0, usually
but it seems that someone fucked up even that
smithy got some probs testing his turret models, too

i for myself havent tested it yet

 

do we put the our sounds in a different folder or something?

 

Well, I didn't make one.
But a parallax-mapped texture I made didn't work even in my local server, so I'd assume consistency is automatically being forced despite the sv_pure settings.

 

nah it should work normaly
or at least it is intended that i should work
but something is bugged at the moment with every all content

 

Try adding EmpiresCustom path to gameinfo.txt as 1st entry, make directory EmpiresCustom on the disk and put stuff there.

 

help me out here because i'm dumb

default:

Code:

"GameInfo" {
	game	"Empires"
	title	"EMPIRES"
	developer "Empires Mod Team"
	developer_url "http://www.empiresmod.com"
	icon "resource/steam_icon"
	manual	"http://www.empiresmod.com/help"
	type 	multiplayer_only


	FileSystem {
		SteamAppId				17740		// GCF for TF2, required for ep2 sdk
		ToolsAppId				211		// Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
	
		SearchPaths {
			Game				|gameinfo_path|.
			Game				Empires
//			Game				|all_source_engine_paths|sourcetest
			Game				|all_source_engine_paths|hl2
		}
	}
}

 

You're not alone.
That's like Chinese for me.

 

custom content works fine for me

 

How'd you do it?
Did you just place the sounds in your Empires folder?

 

custom sounds dont work for me too :/
needs fixing, the original death sounds are just ... gay moans

 

still doesnt work :/

my path is "username\empires\empires\sound\player\"
wav files are correct, they worked fine before steampires.

 

Either
(a) you've still got pure on
(b) you're screwing up the folder structure (one too many /empires/?)
