Off and on, haha. "Snd_restart" is what you all need. Great mod BTW

snd_restart people........ nearly all sound mods require this at start up of Black Mesa

I've turned this off and on and it doesn't even work.

thx

Looks like I accidentally lost the link when I last updated. It's back now.

uh i dont see the link to the game banana post

I know scarce little about modifying and compiling levels, and have even less desire to do so.

While I *do* like Black Mesa to be reflective of Half-Life 1 (as well as seamless with Half-Life 2), it's really not to the extent that I want to learn how to modify maps just to make some sound cues positioned differently.

How about when xen comes out next year?

Sorry, but that would involve modifying the maps themselves. That leads to incompatibility with other map mods, and worse problems when new versions of the game are released.

Hi, maybe that the publication tool is fixed, maybe you can update the hl1 soundtrack mod to match their original locations or no?

The publishing tool is actually still broken.

Got some good news, the black mesa team has finally got around to fixing the workshop publishing tool.

I added a link to my blackmesa.gamebanana.com upload in the description. I also replaced the contents of this workshop mod with nothingness to prevent people' Black Mesa zombies from making glitchy, inconsistent sounds (this only applies for people who continue to subscribe to this now-empty workshop mod).

It seems that I can't fix this workshop mod and that it's likely the result of a recent Black Mesa update.

I'll upload a version of this to gamebanana. It'll be much better, because it will modify the zombie sounds script file (which workshop mods can't do), allowing it to make the exact same sound effects with the same volume, pitch and attenuation as the actual Half-Life 2 zombie. The Black Mesa zombie has less sounds with different modifiers, so this workshop mod was limited to those things previously.

When I've uploaded it to gamebanana, I'll include the link here.

Great thanks. :)

This isn't working for me either. I'll see if reuploading it fixes it.

Yeah the sounds are muted now...

Thank goodness for this, damn those awful Black Mesa zombie sounds...

I don't think so, I have HL2 installed and the zombies are still silent.

Do you need HL2 or something? Because the zombies are silent, even though I've started a new game and did snd_restart.

Thanks. Some of the new Black Mesa zombie sounds are really stupid sounding

Lol, sorry! Didn't need to know how to fix. It was pretty easy ;) But thanks anyway!

Turn your game off and on at least once. The issue with static is a recurring problem with any of these workshop sound mods and is usually fixed by resetting the game.

oh god the static

ooooooooooooh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh yabba my icing gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd
help god help help me ooooooooooh baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah why why why

There's definitely more that I want to upload, such as more NPC and weapon sound mods. But unless Crowbar Collective makes sound script files modifiable, I can't put most of those mods on the Workshop in their proper form I'm afraid. There's a few I may still be able to do though, such as the crowbar and revolver sounds. I'll have to see.

Can you put in hl2 icthyosaur sounds, hl2 vortigaunt sounds, hl2 crowbar, and hl2 revolver in next?

Thanks for the quick answer! And a complete guide would be very, very much appreciated!

That's just to extract the file(s) from the vpk.

To explain the rest, I may be making a guide at some point. There's more that I want to say that simply can't fit inside these user comments.

First, you need a program called GCFScape, which you can download.

Then, you go to steam/steamapps/common/Black Mesa/bms , and you use GCFScape to open the vpk files you see in that folder. Specifically, you open the vpk files whose names end with "dir." For example, if you want to get to the BMS sound effects, you'll use GCFScape to open bms_sounds_misc_dir.vpk.

GCFScape will open up the folder structure contained within the vpk inside a separate window. You can browse through the files contained within, and extract copies of the files. It's kind of similar to compressed file formats like .zip and .7z when they get opened.

I've got a question.. How do you open and modify the sound files for the retail version? Thanks!
