Playlist starts from 3..

Post by mistamontiel »

Hi, this works really great. I have nearly 50 wavs that work perfectly fine.

But, from the start it always starts at 3. My first wav is 3..

If I hit 1 or 2 by mistake, it stops working and I can't select another wav and I have to close the game all the way and load up again. Is it supposed to start from 3 or did I mess it up ?? Thanks yo >.<

Copy-paste the output of your audio list when you enter "la".
Entries 1 and 2 should be "." and ".." (the current directory and parent directory respectively).

Yeh but if instead of 22 I hit just 2 or 1 I have to restart half life altogether, cuz I'll be stuck with playing just one wav, the last one I've picked >.<

All you've done is switched directories, just switch back. These are HLDJ basics, please read the manual http://hldj.org/manual/getting_started.html to familiarize yourself better with HLDJ.

If after reading, you still want to disable directory switching, go into Setup and edit the game's profile, under the Advanced section change Display Mode to "Audio files only".

Did it, still doesn't let me. I don't even remember setting up "multiple" directories..if I by mistake enter 1 or 2, I have to put in 3 to "load Audio" something it says and I can get the playlist back. It slugs me up a bit..I guess I can't avoid it, thanks !!

Are you saying there's a problem when you switch directories?... or are you saying that the ability to switch directories is the problem?
If the first, copy-paste your audio list before and after switching directories.

??

No, I DON'T have room for 100+ wavs, so I use only ONE FOLDER. From the start, that's how I've wanted it.

I tried what you said, by turning off the option of showing directories.

I just want to select sounds from 1. All I wanted it to list was my sounds, just one folder. It's no biggie, I'm glad that it plays rather than that confusing HLSS..

When I chat the sounds tend to cut off too, then I'd have to play them all over. Really frustrating, l0l0l0l..

I've just tested it numerous times with HLDJ 1.5.0 Beta, the "Audio file only" setting works fine. You seem to be unfamiliar with the basics of how the half-life engine and its voice comm system works (let alone HLDJ), and in this regard I'm more inclined to chalk it up as user error rather than investigate further.
Please refrain from posting further "problems" until you've become more familiar with the basics.
