Half-Life 2 Level Creation

Here is a list of 247 soundscapes for use in the Half-Life 2Half-Life 2: DeathmatchHalf-Life 2: Lost CoastHalf-Life 2: Episode OneHalf-Life 2: Episode Two (not in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast). An easy way of testing them is to use the playsoundscape console command, which includes limited searching for soundscape names so you shouldn't have to print out a copy of this list for reference.

Soundscapes with 'util' in the name are intended for inclusion in other, full soundscapes. While they should work without problems in-game, they generally aren't nearly as varied or deep as the resulting composites. Others have positional sounds which will be played at certain locations specified in the env_soundscape entity's properties. If these locations are not given, the sounds will not be heard.

A preview video of these soundscapes can be found here.

Note.pngNote:While these soundscapes are not available in most games outside of the Half-Life 2 series, the sounds which they use are available in all Source 2013 games. As such, they will work if copied to a soundscapes_<mapname>.txt.
