Everything in my file is the same as the other TR sound effects. When I trigger the sound, it makes a small noise instead of the sound effect.IP: Logged |

It's the explosion that is connected to Flipeffect 11 (shaking the screen with an explosion sound effect) quote:

What you describe is rather a circumvention of than a solution to the problem. You have been lucky though, because when I tried replacing the existing sounds from the ‘samples’ folder, tomb4.exe crashed to desktop on loading the game, rather than merely refusing to play the sound. The sounds are stored as .wav files, compressed in PCM format, 22.050 kHz, 16 bit, mono. You can use the Windows Audio Recorder to convert your files to that format, but whether or not I run pcwadsfx.exe, the game will inevitably crash. So what’s the deal here. Anyone? IP: Logged |

In the manualP64 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 However I have changed the magnum to another sound - same name, apparently correct format, and I did rebuild the sounds using pcsfxwad. The game kept freezing at the load screen When I reverted to the originals and pcwadsfx'd etc. all worked. I'm wondering if maybe the sounds are actually ADPCM 22,050 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono ?? Anyone made this work properly - if so please post complete [ idiot  ] instructions TVM

Thanks for the link - But that's relaiting to 44KHz Audio files.The problem is with the 22KHz SFX clips Anyone know the definitive answer to this??? ------------------

The sound effects are not in the audio directory, but in sound/samples. But they are the same format, PCM, 22050, 16 bit mono.How long is your sound effect? Did you add a line to sounds.txt? Or just replace the existing filename?

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 ------------------

I assume that after you ran pcwadsfx you rebuilt your level. Well, that's probably a dumb question, but thought I'd ask.

As I always tell my students - "The only dumb question is the one you don't ask, because it will never get answered"I honestly can't remember - it was about 4 a.m. 1] I definitely didn't change the sounds.txt file. 2] I definitely did do the pcwadsfx bit 3] I definitely did do a level rebuild But 2 and 3 may have been the other way round I'll try again and post either way - success or not

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???

You need some audio conversion sw, like jukebox, with which you reformat sound file content, so that its size,length,freq, an pitch, conform to the limits of the program playing them.
for when they dont, the main prog cant process them.having a decent sound card also helps. IP: Logged |
