Custom music in a N-S game ? Options

[Lyran]

What's up guys.

I played a good number of Natural-Selection games where a few players would sometimes play a custom music, but it usually never lasts long.

For example, the icon that shows they're talking...well, it shows up, but it's a song playing, not the player talking. Some of you here surely saw that.

Some with poor quality, others with great quality. It's never the same,

I'd like to know...

How is it possible to "play" either a part of a track or the whole length, while playing a game ?

Do I need to be the host of my own server (dedicated or not) ?

I'm not sure, but I think some of the cases when I saw that were just unknown players, playing for fun of course, and they were not hosts or anything important to the server. Just a normal player. And I've seen cases where the host would play (with usually very good quality) many songs in a row.

There's even one time where a random guy in the Marines team started to play The Imperial March (the famous Darth Vader theme from Star Wars) during the assault on a last Hive...and the Aliens could also hear it !

Everyone liked it, it created some kind of a adrenaline rush for us (Marines), and they didn't last longer than expected.

I would like to play some decent songs, or just some funny ones.

Like, the infamous Banana Phone !

But I don't know how.

Would I need to change the format to something specific ? Do I need to put it/them (the track(s)) in a specific folder ? Etc...

I would like to know.

Thanks guys.

Ok ok.

Everything is more clear now. Thanks LordSkitch, Link and Sandman. I appreciate.

One thing though...

Link was right about the Pausable thing.

I changed "pausable 1" to "pausable 0" in the listenserver.cfg itself, and it DID work !

Now, the game doesn't pause or "freeze" anymore, not even for myself !

I created a Listen Server to test that. And I could even access and change any options from the Main Menu by pressing Esc, and the game would still go on in background !

So, now AT LEAST I got that "problem" fixed. Now I can host Listen Server with decent and more importantly constant gameplay, random-pauses-free. That alone not only makes my day, but pretty much the whole week.

As for AMX, well, I'll keep it, but I won't mess around with it anymore. It's not what I thought it could have been. Same thing goes for H-LSS.

I'll go back to some Hammer H-L 2 mapping. I need to burn up some brain cells these days
