Mp3 Woes

PromoCL

<div class="IPBDescription">target_mp3audio's refuse to play</div> Hey. In my first foray into NS mapping after ages of singleplayer HL1, I've hit a bump. Ambient_generics work fine, but I cant seem to get my target_mp3audios to play. They simply dont work when the map loads. Below is how a typical one is set up, I'm probably just filling out one of the fields wrong (I've been treating them just like ambient generics).

What Ive got in one of my broken mp3audios
============================
Name: (none)
Sound: ambience/forcefield1.mp3
Volume: 255
Fade Distance: 1000

Ive also got the flags "looping" and "start on" checked.

Im probably just doing something stupid in the entity setup, could someone wise in the ways of NS mapping point out what Ive done?

Thanks.

So I guess you should be using "sound/ambience/forcefield1.mp3" instead.

Insane

You ought to also give them names, as they can be temperamental if you don't.

Thanks, sorry for not checking the stickies first. I always forget about the subforums.
