Ok, I've had a bit of a search, and I can't find anything on this, so I have to ask:

Is there any reason why OHRRPGCE would suddenly fail to import sound effects? It isn't the sfx themselves - I'm using them in another project, and they work fine. But tonight I've tried adding sound effects to BOTH projects, and no matter what sound I try, it fails every time?!!

Thanks,
Miss Sinister

So it worked before, but it fails today?

Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say?

if there is no error message, can you describe exactly how the sounds fail to import? Do they fail to show up in the list? Are they unselectable? Does selecting them do nothing? Does selecting them crash? The more detail you can give the better.

they're .wav files, and they show up on the file menu, but as soon as i try to import them, it says:

wav conversion failed. press any key.

as i said, these are files i've used before without a hitch.

The wav conversion is done using oggenc.exe. First check to make sure it is there. Look in the same folder that has custom.exe there should be a folder in there called support and oggenc.exe should be inside that.

you could also look for c_debug.txt and c_debug.archive.txt which might have some extra error messages in them.

You're meant to get a more informative error message, odd

Ah ha! Not only are you not using the latest version, Zenzizenzic, you are not even using the latest bugfix release of Ypsiliform (Ypsiliform+3) which contains a fix for this bug. Head to the 'Downloads' page.
