Do .wav Files need to be a Specific/Minimum Legth (# of secs) and is there a List for gunXX.wav Models/Numbers?

KingArthur · Post by **KingArthur** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 12:57 am

I'm trying to Modify the Gun (Cannon) and Laser (Beam Weapon) Sounds in the Game. I've tried several .wav files for Both but they don't seem to Work. I've Created a "Sound" Folder and Placed the .wav Files in It Put still Nothing.

Do I Need a Longer Running Sound? If So, How long is the Minimum?
Also, is there a List of Cannons to gunXX.wav Files? I've tried gun14.wav,gun2.wav and gun02.wav for an IceSpear but Still Nothing. i've Also tried a .wav file in the laser.wav. Again, nothing.

Any Help would be Greatly Appriciated.

Thanks,

INKEDMIKE

THANKS BUT NEVERMIND. I FIGURED IT OUT. DON'T PUT .wav ON THE END OF THE GUNXX FILE. D'uuHHHHHHHHH.lol.

The Sound files need to be a certain lenght and format I believe!.....but I never fooled around with any of the sound files so I would not know....but I fooled around with lots of other things.....Now where is that sound file for "Mercenary you have entered restricted space, turn around immediately or be fired upon" and "Mercenary, this is your final warning!, turn around immediatly or be fired upon".....

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Thanks MAAR, but it seems that "Waepon" Sounds just have to be "Bites". The Problem was I was Adding " .wav" to the End of " gunXX " and " laser " Files. It wasn't needed and the Game didn't recognize the Files with the File Type Text. I just Used "gunXX " and everything was Fine. The Volume of Replaced Files is Definetly Louder. Don't know if it's my Sound Card or the Game Doesn't have a " Volume Leveller".
I'm Fine with the "Speach Files", Just wanted My Guns to have a Little more "POW". lol.
I've Tasked my Icespear to sound like "Photon Torps" with a Cyclic of 120. lol. Sounds FANTASTIC. My Beam Waepons (ALL, as Beam Waepons share Single .wav File) now sound like "Phasers" from ST Voyager.lol. It's LOUD but Soungs GREAT!lol.

If anyone knows how I Can Adjust Voloume of a Specific .wav File ( Not the "Effects Volume" as that Adjusts ALL Game Sounds), I Could REALLY Use the Info.

Thanks again.

Just a thought, but have you tried adding a text file in your /sounds folder named after the sound you want to edit the volume of (including the .wav extension, example: a text file named 'flyby.wav'), and in the text file a line that says 'volume=x' (where 'x' is the value for the volume between 1 and 10)?

Not sure if that will work but it would be the first thing I would try. It seems the be the format you can edit Evochron files in and I'm pretty sure you can assign values to audio files through text files that way.

If it doesn't work, Vice will have your answer. Assuming it's possible in the first place.

Dear IM,

This is the correct spelling of Length which is in error in your title.
This kind of grammar error could have been prevented by taking just a little extra time..
Thank goodness you have me the intergalatic grammar king to review all written issues for correct grammar.
Please don't thank me. This is just the kind of superior being I am.

I Would ask the Moderator to Simply REMOVE Your Post(s). This Forum Thread is for Help with Issues involving "Modding", not Spelling.

You are way too serious and you should enjoy the interaction. Please remember this is fun.
Now that I know what kind of person you are I will not address your posts.
As you saw Viper and others had a good laugh, which we all need in this economy and troubled world.

Sorry I offended you and wish nothing but happiness.

LOL....Star King, InkedMike did not misspell length, I did, just a typo.....He did misspell a different word though but I won't mention it now!.......

Does Anyone Know a Site where I Can Download .wav files Free? What I'm looking for is the Sound of a 57mm Bofors Gun or Similar.

I've Hit All the Free Sites I can Find but almost Nothing Regarding "Naval" Guns and NOTHING for Bofors Guns.

Here is a movie from Bofors firing range.

Shouldn't be to hard to extract the sound and edit it.
