Bar music
 

I tried changing the bar music but it just doesn't work at all now :confused: the only difference is the file size.

heres the log:

bit rate etc all the same?

Re: Bar music
 

erm not sure, when i exported it as an .ogg i couldnt edit bitrate, etc.

Re: Bar music
 

use audacity, that program converts the files immedately to the right ogg type

Re: Bar music
 

Did, still no luck :p

Re: Bar music
 

you will have to reconvert them from the origional source files or you will simply maintain the invaid channels number

Re: Bar music
 

Ah good idea, ill try it

Re: Bar music
 

You have to convert the file to 16 bit mono, otherwise it won't work, have you done that?

Re: Bar music
 

Thanks but no it wouldnt let me edit the sound properties it when exporting, but im sure i can do it another way.

Re: Bar music
 

and are you sure you didn't gave the file a wrong name?

Re: Bar music
 

Positive >< radio_music_1 in sounds\human(or something)\scenario\bar\radio i listened to it to check if it was the right one.

Re: Bar music
 

well that's weird when I did it with audacity, for some guitar music, it worked fine..

Re: Bar music
 

Ok so i changed everything to how the original radio_music_1 was 44100Hz rate, mono and 16-bit but still no luck anymore ideas?

Must be the dreaded shitty invalid ogg comment

dreaded invalid ogg comment?

Re: Bar music
 

Okay, to get music to work (properly, mind), you need to convert it to 16-bit mono. Yes, you can do this in Audacity, do it before you convert it to a different format. Look around, it shouldn't be too hard to find the options.

OGG comments are (afaik) bits of data that specify certain details about the the sound, such as it's maximum radius, it's volume, etc etc. These 'comments' are written in the file by the level editor that comes with the SDK. In my experience sounds will work even if they're not commented, but not properly, so the sounds not being commented probably isn't the source of your crashes, they're more likely caused by their not being 16-bit mono.

For more detailed info and a link to download the SDK (look out, it's huge), see the mod wiki topic on it.
