Bubbas mapping site is old, outdated, has old techniques and was created for Quake III, so not all of what he has to say applies. RichDiesal's link is

Have you successfully done *anything* that has to do with mapping? Because I can't believe that someone who's asked the questions you've asked, and gotten the answers that you've received wouldn't be able to do anything. Are you self-taught or did someone teach you? If you are self-taught, it would be in your best interest to seek out some serious FAQs and Tutorials (hey, we all need help sometime)... believe me, it will save you time and lots of headaches and frustration in the end.

WAVs *cannot* be repeated throughout an entire stage. Only MP3s can. You would know this had you done what I suggested. Now before you post another question, read EVERYTHING you can on Radiant. If you need links I'll post them. There's no need to remain ignorant if you can enlighten yourself.

Since you obviously have some problem with looking for answers on your own, and can't scroll up to the top of the mapping forum to see all the stuck threads, all of which contain links to tutorials and answers to all the questions you've been asking (but have just been too lazy to actually LOOK for), here's a quote about your "sound" problem:

Answer using Duel of the Fates example:

 

Find the mp3 file in the assets0.pk3 file, rename it to something else, then place the Duel of the Fates mp3 in there and rename that to what the previous file was.

 

If that sounded confusing, I'll try and make it simpler

 

xxxxxxx.mp3 = name of music file you want to replace

 

Rename xxxxxxx.mp3 to something like xxxxxxxbackup.mp3

 

Insert duelofthefates.mp3 into same dir and rename to xxxxxxx.mp3

 

Not sure of that'll work, but it's worth a go, and you can always remove the file and rename the backup one to it's original name.

 

----> Thanks to Mal Brigand

 

I hope now you will realize that there are answers to your questions already on the forum, all you have to do is go to the stuck threads up top and spend a few minutes looking for them. To copy that for you took all of 2 minutes, including the time its taken to create this post.

Actually soundset's only work in Sp, not in MP. For example doorsounds, if you set a soundset you still get the default sounds in MP. You'll have to set MP sounds manually.

Music files must be 112 kbps, 44100 KHz MP3 files, Derbra. Anything else and it won't play.

 

And if you want your music to play, you've got to include it in your .pk3 file for your map. Easiest way to creat a .pk3 file (if you haven't already) is with a program called Pakscape.

You have to get a program that can encode/decode MP3 files. You can find programs like that pretty easily on http://www.download.com or http://www.tucows.com. Once you've downloaded and installed the programs you just select the file you want to switch, set the settings, and let the program encode it to the new settings (should just take a minute or so).

And you put it in your .pk3?

 

And its filepath in radiant is correct?

 

For example, if it's radiant filepath was :

 

music\stage1\volcano.mp3

 

Then your .pk3 should have a folder named music, a subfolder named stage1, and inside that subfolder should be the mp3

 

Try that out and see how it works.
