[SOLVED] How to create .vsnd from .ogg

So I've been reading here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamVR/Environments/Adding_Sound/Soundevents

And it says the vsnd is created automatically.
I dont understand how this works exactly, I placed a .ogg that I want to play refer to is a .vsnd and it doesnt play. I've tried renaming it to vsnd which I was told not to do and it still won't play.

It seems like theres something really simple im missing here.

I think I've managed to create the vsnd but its not showing up or playing in hammer. But theres now a vsnd_c in the game/ADDON/Sounds folder

I don't think the tools support importing any compressed sound formats. You'll have to convert it to a .wav file first, the tools should compile it automatically if they find a supported file.

Ok awesome, that seemed to work, thankyou. I can now play the file in the asset browser.
However I can't seem to get it to play in hammer using a point_soundevent

That sounds like an issue with your soundevents file, mind posting it?

Sure, appreciate you taking the time to look at this

{ radio = { type = "destinations.simple_vr" volume = 0.4 pitch = 1.0 delay = 0.1 use_hrtf = 0.0 vsnd_files = "sounds/banditradio.vsnd" } }

And this is the set up of what I have in hammer

The soundevent looks good, the entity needs to have the Sound Event Name set to radio. If it still doesn't play like that, maybe try triggering it manually instead of having it play on spawn.
