I wanted to take away the rocket effect completely, so I just made a file and named it rocket1.wa2 and rocket2.wa2... and continuum failed to load the lvz (but lvz toolkit didn't complain)... am I not allowed to do this?

here's just the rockets

The first problem I actually solved(put an s where there wasn't supposed to be), but now I have another problem, they aren't playing, but the defaults still are

Its a bad LVZ file. When you attempted to create the lvz, it was unable to find or compress the rocket1.wa2 and rocket2.wa2.

maybe 'cause there's nothing to compress? its 0 bytes :]

Can you play these sounds in media player or sound recorder? If they can't open the file, don't expect ctm to be able to. If you right click on a .wav, click record -> file -> new -> save as -> "rocket1.wa2". Should be 58 bytes.

it may also be the type of bitrate he used
anything less than 8bit probably wont work

I recommend you use any wave recording program, don't plug a microphone in, and hit "record" for a second or two. Record complete nothingness. Making it a second or two long instead of 1 millisecond will allow Continuum to not loop the same wave file 100 times a second.

I got a music file for the Victory music. It was a MP3 but I converted to a .wav . When I went to enter it, the arena wouldnt d/l and got :

Slow iteration warning: 2420 ms

on the subgame2 screen. I tryed:

but still got:

You're running the server on the same computer that you play on?

That's just a warning saying things are kinda slow.

Subspace and Subgame both fight for 100% of your computer's processor. Every so often, one of them wins out for a bit, and the other one pays for it. Thats what that means, that Subgame wasn't able to do a complete loop within about 2 seconds, which is bad.
