Hey everyone,

 

I am currently trying to add new unit sounds to YR, but the sound mixer won't let me drop the WAV files into it, I am able to drag them over but when I drop they don't show up in the list. Does anyone know what could be wrong, the WAVs are correct I believe: 22050 Hz, 16 bit, mono. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you extract a copy of audio.bag & audio.idx? You cannot put in new sound files on the original ones inside language & langmd mixes. You can however add in your new sounds in an extracted bag file though.

IIRC you can replace the original one's if you recompile the langmd/language mixes.

Yeah I extracted both files, they are populated with the original sounds but I can't add new ones. I tried a few different versions of XcC mixer with the same results

Are them in IMA ADPCM or MS ADPCM format? Latter is wrong and won't work. They are not equal to each other.

It is in IMA ADPCM, VLC player identifies it as "Westwood IMA ADPCM audio (AIWS)" so I am assuming that is correct.

What? Westwood IMA ADPCM??? You mean to tell me you tried to use AUD? the bag uses normal microsoft ima adpcm wav or pcm, nothing else.

 

XCC sound editor will not add to the list, if the format or something with it is WRONG and it fails the checks. Either provide a sample of file you try insert or simply try again with MS ima adpcm wav (standard!) or just pcm wav.

 

I do not understand how VLC can even say anything about Westwood, it just sounds wrong unless you got AUD...

 

What is the encoding tool used? some old ones do slightly incorrect encoding and could be at fault.

It's indeed aud, just tried. Never knew VLC could play it and even identify it as Westwood IMA ADPCM. 

 

 

No, it needs generic WAV IMA ADPCM as Apollo said.

I knew it since VLC is based on ffmpeg source for format handling. Only thing in AUD that makes it 'westwood ima adpcm' is custom header and data framing, else actual data is normal spec ima adpcm but enough different that allowing insert aud into bag would need stripping of data a bit too much to be compatible thus not supported.
