How to use the "y" command to play wav files to other players

Hello!

I recently played on a server where some keywords, typed in the "y"
command, would cause a wav file to be heard by all players rather than
displayed as a text message.

Examples: "ha ha" would cause a sarcastic laugh to be heard.

Does anyone know how to configure the server to use this
functionnality?

If I did, do you honestly think I would help you implement it?!

Why do you think I ask?
You seem to think this would be to use it badly, to insult or mock
people.

I tell you, we had a very fun time on that server where this was
implemented. No insult, but some funny vocal messages. Or compliments,
like "well done", "come again", "wow!", etc.
"Ha ha" can sound like mocking out of context, but believe me, in that
game, we were all laughing.

No tool is good or bad; only the use one makes of it.

So, I ask again: is there anyone who *knows* how to implement that
feature?

Ok, Philippe,  then maybe you should have been more descriptive the
first time around since I've played Counter-strike and it's mods' for
many years.

I can't answer your question I'm afraid but glad to hear you're not one
of the many a.sholes that ruin the public experience.

Scott.

Hi Scott.

I understand your reaction: I also do not like when people come to
throw insult messages or mock other players.

Someone else explained in this thread how to do it. If one day you
come to my server, we'll have some fun. My player name is "Philippe",
and I often play with my brother who is "angelwings". He is beginning,
but progressing fast and likes to taunt stronger players! :)

Bye,
Philippe

The likelihood that I'll be playing CS anytime soon is quite slim :)

And we are all so thankfully Stri. All grenades seems to home in on you so I
think you must be sort of sticky or magnetic.......

All I got to say is, why do you think I stopped?

The server most likely uses AMX with a plugin such as Speak-all or
PsychoSounds
For information about amx and its plugins, http://amxmod.net/

Another question: the client does not hear the sounds, but I do.
I am running the server (not dedicated server), and I hear them.

How can I force the download to the client(s)?
First time I met this function in a server, I got all the files
downloaded automatically.

Thanks in advance,
Philippe

You can't force a download to a client.  the client can disable
downloads (cl_allowdownload 0) and there's nothing you can do about it.

Make sense. However, I do not mean "to force", but "to cause".
(Sorry, English is not my native language.)
When I played on that server the first time, all needed wav files were
downloaded automatically on my machine. I did not change any settings,
so I assume that it is possible to cause such a download with the
default settings.

So, how is it done?

Thankfully.

Am I right in thinking that you can mute these idiots and their wavs,
or do they override the 'mute' icon?

Dear Mr Jones,

no need to be impolite.
If you do not like a server with wav sounds, why, just go to another
one or put a server up on your own machine.

I use sounds to have fun *with* my friends, not *at* my friends!

Best regards,
Philippe Jacob
