Why aren't you saving them as .ogg files out of interest?

Or is that the eventual plan but you just want to get them working first?

Question: What about MP3 format? Is that supported? Or has it been left alone due to patent issues?

License issues. We'd have to pay for it. Besides .ogg is at least the same if not better quality and smaller in size.

@ShadowWolf  Try playing them in-game using the play-sound SEXP (or whatever it's called) that way you can at least tell if the problem is your table or the sounds themselves.

I don't think there were any major changes to the way FS2 plays wavs so just make a copy of the mission and try out my suggestion :) It should still be a valid test :)

Best I can do until someone who actually understands the music.tbl can tell you different. :)

I should probably dispel the myth about this. My working with the music.tbl is 60% guesswork, so yeah, NOT a good idea :P
