My custom music tends to lag

Post by Zaphod »

I've imported 16 bit wav files of the Firefly soundtrack to the music folder, and the game often hangs when it switches tracks according to threat level. Is this typical, or is there something I can do differently?

You can use a compressed format/lower sampling rate for faster loading (example: ADPCM or compatible MP3). Otherwise, you'll need a faster computer for faster loading performance.

What's a compatible MP3? I just spent an hour converting these things to WAV files, hehe. If I can use an MP3, I'm fine with that.

Might take some expirementing, but iirc, something like 44KHz 64 kbps stereo should work.

Just out of interest, is it the guitar-powered ship you've after? :)
