Source SDK - Half-Life 2 Soundscapes

[@soer4769]

I have posted all the timings for the soundscapes in the video here, since a video description can get too long. UPDATE: I have edited the VDC's hl2 soundscape page to show more detailed informal descriptions and position data so it is even easier to choose the ones needed for a level: developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_HL2_Soundscapes

I love half life’s sound design, the noises just radiate nostalgia and distant memories.

[@jimmylander2089]

26:22 strange... there's not a single living soul left in Ravenholm except for Father Grigori. That scream is quite the mystery

[@AmBush2048]

It's supposed to imply that there are, or at least were other survivors.

[@cj-3810]

Jimmy Lander I believe there are many unused screams and cries in the ravenholm sounds, this is due to the beta of ravenholm originally would be found still under the raid, there would be dead children under beds and more.

[@Strelokos666]

Indeed. I didn't hear that scream named ChildScream.wav while playing the Ravenholm. I didn't hear it in the game at all actually, until i played HL2 recently and finally heard that in a random soundscape somewhere in the Nova Prospekt basement

[@SirKolass]

Who told you he's the only one?

50:31 is my absolute favorite. That little popping noise sounds so awesome.

[@hmrdev-billnye8166]

It's a fascinating world indeed,go from the very semi-noisy City 17 to the very quite coast. Somehow makes me cry how good this game is. Imagine in in a few dacades time there would be a open world Half-Life game using mostly the movement animations from HL2 and upgraded textures and everything bassically,you and your rebel friends slowly take control city after city or town by unique Combine enemies and Xen Life eventually you could travel to other dimension and defeat the Universal Union.

Thank you sir! Too bad this video doesn't have lots of views though ;/

[@soer4769]

If I continue to create content like this to help people I think the views will come at some point :)

[@halfwaylambda440]

Alright. Also, can you answer me something. Are all those overwatch sounds and helicopters in the soundscapes? Or are they just some ambience? Because, it would be nicer if you would find a way to make the soundscapes be heard only, and not other distrurbing noices ;D

[@soer4769]

All the sounds you hear for a soundscape in this video are also what you hear in-game, so if you want a soundscape without the overwatch sounds you would have to extract and edit one of your choice for later binding it to your map. It is a good idea to listen to a soundscape in-game too before inserting it into your map, since this video only showcases 15 seconds of every one.

[@halfwaylambda440]

oh, ok then ;)

[@Artanisval]

9:37 Can somebody explain whats that noise?

[@soer4769]

If you mean the beeping noise, that is an APC alarm passing in the background.

[@Steampunkkids]

Thank you! This is so helpful. I finally found the sound needed for a map. Thank you

[@mie8937]

Funfact: the soundscapes with the word "e3" means that they were created for E3 presentation in 2003.

[@TehDoCh]

Thanks for making this. Saves some time.

[@dreamernawid]

Where can I actually find the sound files for these in Half Life 2's directory? More specifically I'd like to access "d3_citadel.deep_dropoff_inside".

[@dreamernawid]

Nevermind. Realised that Half Life 2 soundscapes are made up of separate sound files.

[@notepicalsalt612]

Yes, but you could make a hammer map, with only the env_soundscape, and record it if you want to. Remember though, the sounds are played at random times, meaning you'll never get the same result.

[@rayhill1]

you are a fucking saint, this is exactly what i've been looking for you're a good man, thank you

[@Nikola7.62]

49:06 Where can I find this siren sound without battle sounds?

[@soer4769]

If you want to use it alone within a soundscape you have to create your own soundscape entry and pack it with your map as no current ones plays that alarm sound all by itself. The soundscape with it is located in hl2/scripts/soundscapes_streetwar.txt and the alarm is called city_siren_loop2.wav

[@flameoguy]

@@soer4769 For a simpler solution you could use an ambient_generic entity with the siren sound

imo the HL:A sound design doesn't have the same charm that the HL2 sound design has. HL2 is just so much more raw..

[@himitsugawa4226]

d1_town.CaveTunnel seem a bit mysterious to me. And quiet at the same time, love this ambient, it played in lots of other Valve shooter/puzzle games.

[@kamil071_pl5]

Yes this wind effect is often used by valve especially in Portal and in many diffrent locations in HL2

Can you make a video about The Stanley Parable soundscapes? There is a way making TSP maps, but its really hard.

[@soer4769]

I will take a look at it in the future when other things on my list is done, but if it is possible to create maps for TSP, then i cannot see a reason why not to try to create a list :D

[@luisp.3788]

soer4769 [ENG] Thank you so much :D

[@soer4769]

@@luisp.3788 Not sure if you are still interested, but i have just uploaded a video covering soundscapes for TSP :)

[@luisp.3788]

@@soer4769 Thanks a lot! I've recently started working on my TSP mod again, and this will really come in handy. Good timing :)

[@luisp.3788]

@mango2 Are you making a mod for TSP as well?

[@StarDrimr_th2710]

How to playsoundscape! Open console "soundscape "

[@burbo408]

39:08 what is that background noise? And how do I get it without battlesounds?

[@soer4769]

As the name of the soundscape suggest, it is light combat sounds of some sort. If you want it without battlesounds you have to either create an edited version of the soundscape and pack it with your map or use another one that does not have any battlesounds in it, like for example prison.util_quiet_cellblock. Hope this helps.

[@mr.skeleton4346]

The name is genericindoor 0:55

[@freshlocalwoodchimps]

How would you access these sounds as you have them playing in this video? My intention is for listening purposes. All I can find is text files.

[@soer4769]

These soundscape lists are actually for source devs and mappers, but as I have got these kind of requests before I plan to create some ambient videos at some point for people to listen to.

[@freshlocalwoodchimps]

Awesome, thanks for the reply. That would be great! It would be amazing to get these soundscapes as longer loops for listening. Maybe even make a playlist with longer loops of the soundscapes as separate videos if that isn't too time consuming :)

[@soer4769]

I will see what i can do

[@fighter2499]

Thank's!!!!

[@gEck0_]

Why does it not work for CSGO?

[@soer4769]

It does not work for CS:GO because it has its own soundscapes list, which does not include HL2 soundscapes.

[@gEck0_]

soer4769 [ENG] I was searching some thunder, windy and rainy soundscapes for my map and I found some Nova Prospekt and Coast soundscapes, but they didn't work. But now I get it, thank you.

[@soer4769]

I am planning on creating a list of all the CS:GO soundscapes in the future :)

[@gEck0_]

soer4769 [ENG] I already have them, (If you're talking about CSS soundscapes, cause they still work, you even have a video for them) but they didn't helped me with my map. I can share them with you anyway.

[@fluff3yzockt]

Still, you could just rip the soundscapes out of hl2 and copy them into csgo.

[@MaximumElevapor]

The Prison Electric Water Room has a loop I swear I hear in every Source game ever. Do the HL and Portal games share soundscapes?

[@soer4769]

Valve does not use the same soundscapes for different games (except for a few exceptions like l4d+l4d2), however they do utilise the same underline stock sounds which is what you are able to hear in every Source engine game. The specific stock sound used you can properly recognise in that soundscape is properly "ambient/atmosphere/corridor2.wav", which is used quiet frequently throughout portal testchambers and half-life 2 levels to create a cold atmosphere and a sense of loneliness.

[@MaximumElevapor]

@@soer4769 Ohhhh, okay! Thank you!

[@FranciumBoron]

Where can I find the wind whistling with no other background sounds?

[@soer4769]

Can you be a little more specific, what 'wind whistling' sound are you looking after?

[@FranciumBoron]

@@soer4769 The wind sound from 16:35 but with no wind chimes.

[@soer4769]

​@@FranciumBoron The soundfile is called 'windmill_wind_loop1.wav'. It can be found inside of, and extracted from, the 'hl2_sound_misc_dir.vpk' + its archives at 'ambient/levels/canals/', which in turn is located in the Half-life 2 (hl2) folder. The vpk file itself can be opened with GCFScape.

[@FranciumBoron]

@@soer4769 Cheers, mate.

[@ruthenium6648]

do one on INFRA!

[@zalmanalfarisi]

Who's author of these soundscapes? Kelly Bailey?

[@non-shockingtopics7563]

Most likely various people from Valve as well as various audio libraries, sorry I can’t be more specific.
