View source for Talk:List of HL2 Soundscapes

== Nice work ==

...I originally just dumped the list of 245 soundscapes here, from where I had them on my site [http://www.akilling.org/akg/tutorials/soundscapes.htm], and want to say the continued work on this list is outstanding, thanks. --[[User:Mark WiseCarver|wisemx]] 05:39, 4 Aug 2005 (PDT)

== Using HL2 soundscapes in CS:S ==

Can you use these in counter strike? all I did was put an env soundscape in and named it "prison.util_quiet_cellblock" and nothing happened.  [[User:Fiercefighter|True_Unity]] 17:33, 6 Jun 2006 (PDT)

:The most reliable way of working this out would be to load up CS:S and then try to play the soundscape using the console, rather than an entity. Type <code>playsoundscape</code> followed by the name of the soundscape you want to play, then when you exit the console, the soundscape should start playing. I'd test it myself, but I don't have CS:S installed, sorry. 
:If you can't get it to work, writing your own (inc. recreating/copying the HL2 one you want) seems daunting but is really very straightforward. See [[Soundscapes]]. --[[User:Giles|Giles]] 00:56, 7 Jun 2006 (PDT)

ya only the counter strike soundscapes work in counter strike [[User:Fiercefighter|True_Unity]] 14:20, 10 Jun 2006 (PDT)

== Ep1 soundscapes ==

I was thinking about adding in the new soundscapes from ep1 but i wanted to ask if that was alright before i did anything.--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 16:48, 28 Jul 2007 (PDT)

== Directional sound descriptions ==

I was getting a little frustrated digging around in these every time I needed something and so decided to set up some of the sounds in a chamber with the eight directional markers distributed regularly around the perimeter, so that I could just walk around and hear the directional effects. Some of them are a little hard to describe -- please check and edit. --[[User:Sagesource|Sagesource]] 17:49, 30 Jul 2008 (PDT)

I should add that I'm using stereo earphones with the sound turned quite high, so sounds may appear to you softer than I describe. --[[User:Sagesource|Sagesource]] 18:14, 30 Jul 2008 (PDT)

==available in all games?==
are these available in all games?
I only ask, as there are shared materials, sounds, models etc. so it seems logical soundscapes are shared too. and if so, we need to add a note into there [[User:Kizzycocoa|Kizzycocoa]] 09:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

A lot of stuff is in shared or base but I know some materials are specific to Episode 2 so I'd imagine some sounds would be as well. --[[User:Omnicoder|Omnicoder]] 12:57, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:actually, I did some digging.
:portal can play most of these soundscapes with the appropriate scripts. as they're text files, it shouldn't be a problem to release them on the internet.
:it can probably go into that patch we planned for portal.
:on a seperate side note, is there an external soundscape player? or one that is list-oriented, not command-line-oriented? [[User:Kizzycocoa|Kizzycocoa]] 13:45, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
==d3_citadel.breen_hall==
this soundscape produces a wierd, almost voice-like sound that will stay with the player no matter if they go into another trigger soundscape or not. a bug perhaps? should be listed anyway. thoughts? [[User:Kizzycocoa|Kizzycocoa]] 19:14, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
