Sounds...

[PROMAGNUM]

I have recently been making,recording sounds and morphing sounds,etc (stealing sounds)
but anyhow I need to know what exact format is best for .wav import to .uax?
I noticed I had some at PCM,22,050 Hz, 8 Bit, Mono
but they still did not work right, one caused me to crash because of consistent repeating at the same time.
Please fill me in and I might export my .uax to some map makers for experimental purposes. (wink,wink,bastard)

Dude I am having the same problem myself! If you find out what the problem is let me know.. and vice versa.

Check unreal.epicgames.com for exact info. My experience is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It does not seem to have anything to do with the format or anything. My guess is: keep messing until importing works....

oh the import works fine, its the ingame sound that is messed up. Im not sure if its size or format, or what has to do with it. No one really seems to know exactly, but I kind of want to for some things. If you have a similiar link to info, post it.

Sound files in UT work best if they are 16 bit 44000 Khz sound files (either mono or sterio). you will want to make sure they are true wav files. When you are done remixing and have them ready to import put the wavs in the sounds root folder in UT then open the editor and import the sounds under a file you created. then make sure to save it under a diiferent name if you used a exisitng sound uax library.
try to make sure the sounds are not too long or the uax library will be huge. (I know from experience on that one lol)
oh and another thing make sure the peaks on the sound files are not truncated (the wav graph does not get so high it flatens at the top of the graph) or they cause problems later on with other sounds.

Any limits on how long a sound file can be? eg a song?

 

[GreyMouse]

no limits besides what size you are looking at. Looking realisticly you are not going to want to have a sound file be 50 mb when the map is a 8th of that.

that makes sense and I wasnt personally planning on one sound being that big, Im just trying to figure out why some sounds are jacked up or to fast high pitched or to slow and consistently repeating over and over not looping but repeating in one second time spans,then I crash.
I just want to know the standard for them.
