Title: Custom sound file format.
Post by: haloboy100 on June 08, 2013, 12:21:03 am

I googled the hell out of this issue - maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

I've made a sound file I want to be played as a part of a training message. It's 16-bit PCM at 11025hz. I've also tried 22050hz, in both .wav and .ogg, stereo and mono, using audacity's export function.

Nothing I try plays in FRED2 or FSO. What am I doing wrong?

It needs to be wav or ogg. Did you put it in the right place so FSO can locate it?

Where is that supposed to be?

Should be either <mod>/data/sounds or <mod>/data/music

EDIT: Or data/voice/special, like FUBAR said

Well that depends on what the sound is used for.  Could go in data\sounds if it's an effect or more likely data\voice\special if it's a voice file.
