but i created it as a wav, not an mp3....so how do i make it wa2? just record the sound?

Purge · Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2004 10:13 pm Post subject:

ok i recorded the sound like smong said.... converted it from wav to mp3, then mp3 back to wav... uploaded it to SS, and it downloads when u enter the arena....but doesn't work when u play it! i also did what muskrat said to rename the file to wa2 and change the xtension completely. i did that and it also didn't work. so far none of you guys' ideas worked >.< HELP! (once again)

You probably still do not have a .wav file.

As for .wa2, ONCE you actually get a real .wav file, just leave it with the extension ".wav" - do not refer to it as .wa2 or rename it .wa2 (this goes for bm2, too).

Why don't you upload the MP3 and someone will convert it to wav for you.

Alright I finally got the bongs to work! I follow the procedure Smog told me witht he Recorder app. But now I need a way to compress the wav's into a smaller extention that will save space...I did lvz it but that's not enough!

My total zone download now is like 15 MB! Help!

wtf 15 MB; stop using BMP; stop using really long, high qualities WAV files; cut down on the amount of images.

i dont use bmp's and high quality images...i'm thinking of putting a FTP site for tron since mine didn't go to 1% in like 30 min. does SS only accept wav's?

CypherJF · Posted: Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:25 pm Post subject:

You shouldn't have 15 MB regardless; what all do you have in there?

Yes, it only accept's waves.

Purge · Posted: Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:28 pm Post subject:

the bongs take up 12 mb actually, and zone memory is now 12.7 mb >.<

Alright I'll start up a FTP site for Tron....

nothing wrong with using bitmaps - often the size difference between them and png's is negligible

as for making the wavs smaller, try: http://www.download.com/River-Past-Audio-Converter/3000-2140_4-10326386.html?tag=lst-0-1

I think it allows easy change in samplerate, etc

Suse, did you try it out before reccomending it for me? I tried it and it just converts it to a 48khz wav file which goes larger than my 8 bit wav file

The software is just a clone of the one I used to record the sounds into wav (Audio Recorder).

Anyways thanks for the help.

Musk, you said to "change the file extension" by putting .wa2 at the very end of the filename. Don't you remember?

You also said that you are somewhat sure that this will work

Yay! I got the bongs to finally work without having all that cluttered into the zone making it 15 MB. The zone now is at least 4 MB and I compressed all the wavs into AM Radio Quality 8-bit sound pieces, then merged them together which caused them to lose some "weight".

Thanks to Smong 'cause he's the one that reccommended me the program "Audio Recorder" and it actually worked for once! I accidentally "missed" to see the compresser in the app earlier, but all is well now.

I still think that custom bongs are usually dumb, but whatever.

Cyan, come to my zone and play the bongs stated in the news and see if they're dumb.
