OldUnreal (Engine)

This time I don't want to put my sounds in the .u file, but in a separate .uax file instead. Tbh I've never done this before, because I always imported a sound or two in a small package that was final when I released it, but this one is for my game type and it's gonna be huge in some time, so it's better to make a separate file, right? Btw, how do I do this lol?????

Open UED, open the sound browser, go to file--->import and choose your .WAV file. Then you'll get prompted to enter a
Package name, group and a name for the sound. After this, click save.

I already tried that, what I get after importing a sound is just a list of all sounds currently loaded (with my sound not on that list, of course), and if I try to save that, it just does not save it. Might be related to loss of other config and weird behavior I posted here. http://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/ ... 1243326651

Er... If you have 225, try using that to import the sounds, then move the .uax to your Unreal227/sounds directory. (Or wherever you have 227 installed)

I don't have 225, I don't have Unreal CD and I don't even have a place to put CD.
Is there another way aka 227f?

The "list of sounds" means that import failed. Open your log and see why. Probably a space in your import path, or the sound is stereo, or has an odd bitrate etc. Look into Wiki, Importing Sounds article: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/

Just MSN me the sounds and I'll do it for you lol. I'll walk you through it as well as how to do it. They have to be converted to a specific format which I believe is 8bit mono 22050 or something like that

With all these limitations, I suppose I'm lucky whenever I import a sound and it works.

I think the only 2 limitations are the bit rate (I'm pretty sure it has to be 8bit....but MAAAYBE it can be 16bit...not sure) and the length of the sound. Whenever I try to import a sound that's around 30 seconds long...it fails. I cut the time in half (or sometimes more in certain cases) then it works fine :-/

There's the mono limitation. (Actually, what would you do with a stereo sound in a 3D world anyway?)

No I'm pretty sure I've imported sounds in stereo....i think....or maybe that's music....idk lol

Here's your problem, DarkSider. When you're importing the sound, put the .WAV file in your Sounds folder for Unreal. I tried importing straight from the desktop but it didn't work. Once I put it in the Sounds folder, it imported perfectly.

If this doesn't solve your problem, then I'm stumped.

I solved this yesterday but forgot to post...it was something f*cked up in the ini, as usual...doh.

That's because of the difference between paths:
Your Sounds folder:
C:\Unreal\Sounds
Your Desktop:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop

Notice a space anywhere?

I can import sounds from anywhere and it still works, it's only very rarely UED refuses to do it.

the only way i can import sounds is if i place the .wav file in my C:\ directory, and import it from there. the wave file's audio quality didnt matter (mono/stereo/high/low quality), just place the sound file in C:\

i guess its some weird bug that it cant import from a path longer than X characters.. dunno

Lol I don't really use spaces in file names.
