List of HL2 Soundscapes

← Half-Life 2 Level Creation

Here is a list of 247 soundscapes for use in the (not in ). 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: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 games. As such, they will work if copied to a soundscapes_<mapname>.txt.
