Server Help

Guy · Guest Offline

I have a problem with the bongs in my lvz. When i upload them in a lvz pack the bongs won't play in the public arena in zone. I think i put in the right filenames: bong31.wa2 .... etc. Also the new victoryl.wa2 won't update! Help!

could be that your sounds have the wrong quality. dunno exactly how it works but i think you'l need 8bit mono sounds or something... any higher then that and they will not play. Note that i am not sure of this. But you could try and decrease quality and check if it works then... Plus im not sure if there was a size limit... its been so long ago

Eh, would that really be the problem?

Did you re-enter the arena after you uploaded them?

you guys are wasting your time

Guy, attach a copy of the .lvz, then someone will make sure it's not badly-made. Then, assuming you have "misc:levelfiles=nameOfYour.lvz" in your .cfg and that you're using the proper server, client and lvz software, we'll know if you've entered the twilight zone (highly unlikely).

Haha, the twilight zone?

The twilight zone. Typically this is when you've done something weird, but that could nonetheless be fixed by a small fix in BuildLevel.exe .

i did everything what everyone said...but my quality of the sounds is 128K pretty larger than 8 bit as someone said earlier...how do i decrease the quality if thats the case? and i think it did enter a twilight zone! :/

Wait 128K? Are you sure you're not using MP3 or something here?

who cares, he ignored what I asked him to do

Make sure you have mod powers or have bongs turned on in the settings before you type %32. But since victoryl.wav isn't working either, I think you have the wrong file format.

I have to agree with CF here, 44khz is the highest I've seen a wav file.

Guy · Guest Offline

yes it was a wav...i converted it to a wa2 file now but the quality is the same. and suse i did what u told me and the files worked on my friend's pc and mine...but not in SS...so someone tell me how to downgrade the quality or if there is another way?

I know this may be hard, but READ THE FOLLOWING:

ATTACH...THE .LVZ...TO...YOUR NEXT...POST

now, this could be equally hard, so I'll say DO THIS, TOO:

DO...WHAT...I...SAID...JUST...NOW

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:55 pm Post subject:

No but 128kb/s is an MP3 (or any compressed audio) bitrate. The bitrate for a wav is a constant much higher than that.

Guy · Guest Offline

it was a wav file but when i made it wa2 it became 0kbps....i'm like wtf......and the attachment is too big for all the bongs...so i put just 1

Smong · Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2004 12:32 pm Post subject:

Um, you can't make it wav just by changing the file extension. I can't open it in a wav player as it is not a wav file.

smong, i did the same thing as guy did but i can play it in my player. I am also having the same trouble as Guy has lmao

Smong · Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2004 4:14 pm Post subject:

You are most likely using a generic media player, if you use a wav only player such as Recorder it won't play. If it plays in Recorder and the green wave form changes as the sound does, then it should work in ctm.

oh.....then how do i make it work in SS by changing it to wa2

You've got a few options:
* Get a software convertor to change the mp3 to a wav file.
* Play the mp3 and at the same time use another program to record the sound (the best way of beating copy protection).
* Play the mp3 and record it using your stereo, then play it back using a mic plugged into your machine.

alright i'll try that...all of it

Winamp Pro can convert mp3 to wav, though it's a little weird.

Musicmatch does it easily, but that thing is annoying.

Winamp has always been able to do that for some time I think; just via a plugin, WaveOut or something..
