#

for soundscapes you use an env_soundscape entity if your using an ambient generic you don't need a sound scape file , just the path to the .wav to make it work

fathom dome Jul 14, 2025, 7:12 PM

#

oh okay

river flower Jul 14, 2025, 7:12 PM

#

the manifest and soundscape have to go in the gmod scripts folder

fathom dome Jul 14, 2025, 7:12 PM
