Intro Music

**taskmaster76** · 04-17-10, 06:58 PM

So I've been researching this, I searched the forums and all I saw was something about a disable mp3 command, and on the web the cl_downloadfilter "nosounds" and cl_allowdownload command, I've tried both of those neither work the sounds still try to download, which is quite annoying. Also I can't find anything about the disable mp3 command.

The sv_pure settings say that the directory sound\lonestar\... is set to allow_from_disk

From what I read on the valve developer community that should mean that I can choose to not run them?

In any case I don't want to listen to the music on entry how is this possible?

type "stopmusic" in at the beginning of the round...

Yes, however, I would prefer to stop it before it bursts my eardrums.

Turn your sound down before you come in, then type "stopmusic" when you enter, and then turn your sound back up.

Problem solved. :6

... ok any moderators what to comment? This is your server after all, the sv_pure setting should allow me to prevent the playing of the music. Can I replace all the music files with blank .mp3s with the same name?

I don't really get the music for CSS. You need to hear footsteps and people shouting fire in the hole and such right away. For TF2 it's fine since that game is supposed to be ridiculous anyway, but for CSS the music has always bothered me.

Luckily in TF2, we have the option to disable motds to prevent the music from playing. It's not possible in CSS unfortunately.

I haven't tried it myself, but it is my understanding that this should work. I could be wrong though.

As far as I know, the sounds you hear when you first join are actually from a website (the motd page) and so the sounds are not locally stored on your computer, so you cannot stop them from loading/playing.

The volume you get for the music is controlled by your windows sounds settings, so if you play with a low in-game volume and a full windows volume, the music will be very loud in comparison. I would recommend using full in-game volume so the music won't be so loud comparatively (because you speakers/ headphones will be turned down more to compensate for louder the in-game setting).
