Author | Topic: Custom Sound FX Wavs
Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 330 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 10-10-2001 04:30 PM Before anyone helpfully suggests, yes I have searched the archive and read the previous threads. In the manual P64 refers to - Samples Folder (standard 22khz wav files) P65 refers to - Audio Folder Audio tracks (MS-ADCPM 44khz wav files) When I look at Magnum.wav in the MS Sound Recorder under File | Properties it says: PCM 22,050 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono The Audio folder files report Microsoft ADPCM 44,100 Hz, 4 Bit, Stereo I am trying to change the magnum.wav to another sound. I renamed magnum.wav to back it up. I converted the other sample, apparently, to the correct correct format. I rebuilt the sounds using pcsfxwad. The game kept freezing at the load screen When I revert to the original sound and pcwadsfx'd etc. all works OK. Where am I going wrong???? Anyone who has made custom sounds work properly please post complete [ idiot ] instructions TVM ------------------ Conan the Barbarian email: conanthebarbarian@ntlworld.com a.k.a.

The original files used in investigation were as installed from the TRLE CD: C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\audio\000.wav 3.13 sec 139264 bytes Microsoft ADPCM 44,100 Hz, 4 Bit, Stereo C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\sound\Samples\magnum.wav 0.54 secs 24150 bytes PCM 22,050 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono The test sound to replace magnum.wav was: phaser.wav 0.22secs 4970 bytes PCM 22,050 Hz, 8 Bit, Mono After conversion this is phaser.wav 0.22secs 9940 bytes PCM 22,050 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono This was added to C:\Program Files\Core Design\trle\sound\Samples\ as magnum.wav I used pcwadsfx to rebuild the samples The game engine crashes on load I haven't edited sounds.txt so far ------------------ Conan the Barbarian email: conanthebarbarian@ntlworld.com a.k.a.

Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 330 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 10-10-2001 09:58 PM Thanks Elpasodude - But that's talking about CD quality sound tracks @ 44KHz The SoundFX ones are definitely 22KHz It's the encoding format that's in question - It may have been that I did the pcwadsfx step and rebuild of level the wrong waty round - It was 4 a.m. I'll have another go and let you know the results, then you can update your help to cover SFX too TVM anywayze. ------------------ Conan the Barbarian email: conanthebarbarian@ntlworld.com a.k.a.

Conan the Barbarian Member Posts: 330 From:Basingstoke, Hampshire, England Registered: Aug 2001 | posted 10-10-2001 11:05 PM If I replace one TRLE SFX with another, rebuild the sounds, then rebuild my level it works - really funny to have the magnums oinking! But if I convert another non-TRLE wav sample to what is purportedly the same format and do the same it won't work - it hangs tom4.exe at the initial load screen. C'mon guys 'n' gals, no-one used custom soundFX samples??? ------------------ Conan the Barbarian email: conanthebarbarian@ntlworld.com a.k.a. Ted Swippet email:tswippet@hotmail.com IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 501 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 10-11-2001 01:37 AM What program did you use to convert the format? If you are able to send me the unconverted sound you want (the 44K one), I'll try a couple of audio packages and see if I can make it work for me. IP: Logged

I've emailed the original 22KHz 8Bit Mono wav to the addy in your profile. Main objective is to suss SFX file format for future ref. ------------------ Conan the Barbarian email: conanthebarbarian@ntlworld.com a.k.a. Ted Swippet email:tswippet@hotmail.com IP: Logged
