Hey guys.

I got a problem with my hitsounds, when im hitting something im getting this message, in console.

Failed to load sound “quake3.wav”, file probably missing from disk/repository

it is placed in Steam/steamapps/ID/Teamfortress 2/tf/sound

any solution? :)

1) Check if the sound is actually in the directory
2) Check if your config is setup properly to make it replace the standard hitsound with the quake one.

you can also put it in every cfg and just turn the hit sound in the other cfg’s off with tf_dingalingaling “0” and just in the cfg where you want it to be on you use the “1”

Put ur sound in tf/sound/UI.

No. You’re supposed to put it in tf/sound. It doesn’t work if you put it in UI. At least it didn’t work for me.

Sure boy. I had the same problem, every tips have never worked and i tried to put in ui and now it’s work fine, but i’m dreaming right ?

If that works that’s unusual because documentation specifies that /tf/sound/ is the default dir, so putting it in /ui/ should mean that you have to specify /ui/quake3.wav.

I’ve been meaning to change mine to the q3 hitsound myself so I’ll report back on that when I do.

put play "quake3.wav" in autoexec.cfg

and also

put +play "quake3.wav" in your launch options

works like a charm

This should be stickied or something, becouse quite some people ask this.
