The files will be named like they show up in the playlist, double files will be overwritten without any warning.

nice avatar, d00d!!

Wait a sec... Last time I used converted mp3s in a map.. it took about 5 minutes to load, and affected various other sounds, usually drowning them out.. maybe it was too loud... Burning Angel.. heh.. but Is it worth it? damn music making is so expensive...

Oh and MSI kicks ass...

Most likely it was too large

Not true. I made most of my tracks when I was literraly broke. All of the software I have is free (legally too, no warez; fyi I now have better software).
All you really need to make modules is a tracker (there's hundreds of differnt kinds and most if not all are free). You may need a sound editor (mssound edit, cooledit, ect..) and thee's tons of free sample sites.

i have no problem getting the file to .it or .s3m format. i have a weirder problem that no one else it talking about. if i open up unrealed and go to the music browser it is blank. when i try and view all files, i just see the .ogg files. if i try and open one of those the editor crashes.if i try and import my 2.5MEG .it file it never shows up, and of course if i save the package it just doesn't exist. any ideas. patch i can't find? help

Wormbo · 15th Oct 2003, 07:03 AM

UT2003 doesn't support module music anymore.

Erika · 11th Nov 2003, 06:55 PM

It is perfectly possible to convert MP3 files to OGG files.

But hey, find a MP3 to MOD converter and get back here.

How would I go about adding sounds into the killing sprees in UT and or UT2K3.

ex:
Kill, double kill, multikill...

Killing spree, rampage...

RJGexplode · 21st Nov 2003, 05:01 PM

Well, i did all the afore mentioned stuff, my first file turned out 30MB coz i'd forgotten to record it on a lower quality and the second time when i did do it on a low quality i got a useless lump of staticy noise

So erm...any ideas on what i've done wrong/should do ???

Wormbo · 22nd Nov 2003, 03:27 AM

Well, the best thing still is creating music directly in a tracker program instead of using one MP3, OGG or WAV which is converted to UMX.

I think the best ways to keep the UMX small have been mentioned already: Keep the song's length short, use 8bit and a lower sampling rate and maybe even use mono.

That kind of conversion shouldn't be automatic since a huge file size would result, unless of course it gave you options to control the sample's bitrate, Hz and so forth. It's not *that* hard, just Google some other programs... It can all be done in SoundRec32 (From windows), WinAmp and MadTracker or any other tracker... All of these can be found via Google, and SoundRec32 comes with Windows.

Problem, when i do that, the UnrealEd will Always crash on me, what should i do?

Malacia · 2nd Apr 2004, 09:13 AM

I think you just need to give it some time, as taking a 40 odd mb file within UeD takes quite a while

zynthetic · 22nd Apr 2004, 04:53 AM

Convert to mono
lower Khz
8bit if there's not many higher freq sounds

A 5mb wav is going to make a 5mb umx.

AzNCompFreak CC · 22nd Apr 2004, 05:06 PM

HOW do i convert the UMX Files? What program can i use that is the easiest for a beginner?

zynthetic · 23rd Apr 2004, 12:07 AM

Large filesizes are what you get with long uncompressed audio (wav).
Convert a umx, what are you trying to convert to what?

AzNCompFreak CC · 23rd Apr 2004, 03:30 PM

I'm trying to to convert regular music like .mp3 .wav into umx. What program can i use to convert it that is easy to use?

Pikadam2000 · 2nd Dec 2004, 04:32 PM

...Is there still any way to convert .umx files to .mp3 or .wav?
