Certain Songs Will Not Load

Post by CrackedMarbles »

1) Does HLDJ launch the game correctly for you?

Yes.

2) Does "HLDJ Loaded Successfully" appear in console on starting the game (with no errors)?

No.

HLDJ loaded - some files could not be written ( 1 error ) !
Quick-Start Guide:
1 ) enter 'la' to display the audio list.
2 ) enter the number of the file to load.
3 ) press the F1 key to start/stop audio.

3) What is the console output after selecting a song, or issuing other HLDJ commands such as "hldj_next"?

Loaded: Party With Pinkie
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_l.cfg

4) After creating your own local server and enabling playing of audio files:
4-a) Load one of the sample audio files and perform a search of your Steam directory (without stopping HLDJ) for the file "voice_input.wav" - does it show up, and if so, where?

Yes. It appears in Computer>OS (C:)>Program Files (x86)>Steam>steamapps>USERNAME>team fortress 2

4-b) If it exists, open it in an audio player: does it sound like the audio file you loaded?

Yes.

4-c) If it exists, return to the game, and enter the following into console:

Code: Select all

voice_inputfromfile 1; voice_loopback 1; voice_forcemicrecord 0; voice_modenable 1; voice_enable 1; +voicerecord
Does the audio file start to play?

No.

5) Does voice normally work for you? If not, or you do not have a mic, have you remembered to set up any applicable options in your operating system and/or the game? *

Yes.

It should be noted that it will play many of my songs, just not a few of them. I used an example of one that does not work properly in this topic. It is not a conversion issue as I have converted all of them the same way and multiple times. A majority of the many work, where few do not.

It's a conversion issue if when you convert it with the built-in converter it works. most probably: clear any id3 or metadata from the file
