Hi, i'm trying to add custom sounds to my HL2 map but it's driving me crazy.
I've gone through tons of guides/tutorial and no one seems to work !
No matter what i do i get the "file probably missing from disk/repository" error.
One of the strangest things i run into is that on some point i need to add the .txt file description (or .wav i can't remember now) to a file called 'game_sounds_manifest.txt' or to 'game_sounds_ambient_generic' yet i can't find those file anywhere on my hl2 subdirectory (I have them on a Portal subdirectory but not somewhere related to hl2).
I can hear the sounds on the Hammer editor as well but i when i run the map i get the "file probably..." error !
HELP !! PLZ !!!

Just read all of the posts on this thread:
viewtopic.php?p=439329#p439329

tried it, won't work...
I can't see the .wav file on the hammer sounds list

edit: got to point where i can see it and while using a trigger i get the "...file not on disk/repository"

Unrelated to your problem, but worth knowing.
you can use Mp3 for custom sounds/music, which is more ideal for custom maps due to the file sizes for .wav mostly being pretty large.

Vman, have you changed the sound browser from "game sounds" to "raw" ? It should show up there if you put it anywhere in the sounds folder.
