Making a music track Loopable

[Mrsix]

Hi! Im new to modding (sortof!)

Im making a mod with my own music in, but cant quite figure out how to make music loopable!!

I've added an ambient_generic entity, and the track which I am using just will not loop, it just plays once, even when I unselect 'Track is NOT loopable'

Just doesn't make sense! Perhaps there is no way without editing the code. Anyone know how??

Nice to join the forum btw!!

Get "GoldWave" (www.goldwave.com) and use "tools/cue points" to make your music loopable.

Thanks for your reply.

I can certainly make the MP3 loop over and over on the actual MP3 itself, but that would create unnecessary memory usage on the MP3 itself.
I have a 1min music file, I want Half Life itself to loop the file once it has finished if that makes sense, rather than making the actual song file longer with lots of loops... hope im not confusing matters!!

I've never set ambient music to play in a map, but most entities (iirc) had a 'play once' function, so I'm guessing they can be set to loop indefinitely until interrupted.
