I don't know if I should post on at Bugzilla, so I figured I'd do it here, since there are no worries of whether I should or not here.

Could Mike or James possibly explain why the sound effects cease to work when newly imported since the nightly after the music failing to load on map version? I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with fixing that previous problem that could have made newly added sound effects cease to work.
EDIT: I don't know about previous nightlies, but the latest, 8/18 seems to have them working again (but attacks still won't play). See Bugzilla bug 231 for more info.

Also, I noticed the 8/18 nightly gives you the option of adding sound effects to attacks. Big grin

x 50 But it doesn't work, even with sound effects previously loaded that work when played on the map. Is it just sitting there and not yet functional, or is this an issue along with the sound effects failing to work?

I can't even import sounds. I can get as far as choosing which file to import, but it just poots in my face at any point after that.

[edit] Plus, our custom titles just got whisked away. Again. They were nice while they lasted. *sigh*.

Twinhamster, make sure that the effects aren't on your desktop or something. The path to the sound fx should be simple, like c:\ohrrpgce\soundfx. try putting them in a folder in c:\ (ex - c:\sounds) and try it from there.

Ah Damn

Now the sound effect is in the game (discovered this ala unlump.exe)

but custom.exe constantly persists that the game is still unlumped after several "RECOVER IT"s, resulting in 48kb files named 'recovered#.bak'.

[edit] It's probably not doing anything because working.tmp is still existing. I'll just turn off the laptop and check in the morning.

Problem resolved. Thanks OOIA.

our custom titles are back yay

I don't use nightlies, but I suppose I should start.

Regarding overall sound problems. Sound effects are a wip feature. Expect them not to work yet.

I have currently tested the "Import Sound Effects" menu in CUSTOM. That is the ONLY place you should expect sound effects to work right now.

A plotscript interface for sound effects exists, but I have not tested it. I think Mike has tested it, but I will leave it up to him to say whether or not it works satisfactorily yet.

Tip: Do not heavily edit your .wav's. I had 7 recordings, and each one (about 3 seconds each) came out to 10 mb each due to a noise reduction. Totalling a 73,000kb .rpg file.

[edit] Never mind. Editing is fine. I just saved the files as minute-long recordings.

That's strange James. Long paths like that prevent me from being able to import music and wav (but not pictures), and it seems to be a common problem for others as well. Any plausable idea why some of us can't but you can?

C:\Documents and settings\owner. lee\desktop

It lets me browse, but when you try to import it, it automatically goes back to the import screen but the file is not imported.
