Sounds

[Freelancer]

Hi, Ive made a map with a custom sound and uploaded bouth the map and the sound to the dedicated server. thugh it seems like the server gives a s*** about giving the clients the sound file.. uh any idea on how to made the dedicated server share the sound so thay need to download it before entering?

Make a RES file that includes the sound to download (see examples in the GCFs), or embed the sound into the BSP with BSPZIP.

Indeed, my fy_glassed_final has a bit of Nightwish playing in it (Not gonna tell you where). It works great on my computer because I have it but none of the other players have the sound so well...

Embedding it in the bsp would probably be the best thing.

soo its the pak viewer in better version (ahh.. good ol' Quake 2)(and all those other games that used .pak .pk3 and so on) .. so if i add my sound into a GFC it will force clients to download! correct?

You can't modify GCFs. The idea is to embed the sound into the BSP.

BSPZIP through a command line interface

BSPZIP through a GUI (WinBSPZip)

The adminmod plugins work because the server is modified to force you to download them, or something like that.
