Pick up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people, people he cares about, are counting on him.

Well I just figured out how to do this, its not that hard or anything, but to new kids like me it took some finding and I thought I would help the other wana-be modders like myself.

Open you mod folder

Go to (or make) your sound folder were you want the sound

ex: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\YOURMOD]\sound\weapons\MYGUN

Now put the sounds you want to use in here( the shooting sound, reloading, kicking, milking, w/e )

Now go back to you mod folder, and go to scripts

ex: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\YOURMOD\scripts

Here find the game_sounds_weapons.txt file

now go to the bottom and add:

"weapon_mygun.fire"
{
	"channel"	"CHAN_WEAPON"
	"volume"	"1"
	"soundlevel"	"SNDLVL_NORM"
	"rndwave"
	{
		"wave"	"^weapons/mygun/fire1.wav"
	}
}

now go into the weapon_mygun.txt file in the scripts folder (if you are modding a already existing weapon just use its respective script)

change the sounds accordingly
EX:

SoundData
	{
		"single_shot"	"Weapon_mygun.fire1"
		"reload"	"Weapon_mygun.reload1"
	}

and there you have it, hope this helps someone out
NOTE: some sounds may have to be changed in the source files

Its really simple. All you need to do is put the music into a music folder in the sounds folder, then in your map use an ambient_generic entity to load the music.
