Mp3 sounds not working after update

[FeelsGoodMan]

I just updated to v1.30.4 and all my cinematics that were using mp3 sounds are no longer working. I can't play the mp3 sounds through the sound editor, but I can export them and they all work when played in a media player so I know they are not corrupt.

Wav sounds are working fine. Any idea what this might be, and a way to make the sounds play without having to export them, convert to wav and then import them again? I have around 100 sound files so it would be REALLY tedious work.

Oh well that sucks. I tried removing all metadata with audacity but sadly it didn't do anything. After playing my map several times I found out that it's not only my imported sounds, it is almost ALL sounds that are played throughout regions, at points, waygate sounds, spell sounds, effect sounds, and it just keeps adding to the list, and some sounds starts playing then are just cut off. Hopefully a fix will come sooner rather than later.

You could always use a stable older version.

Yeah I guess I could. I will probably just revert to 1.29 or something.

does your world editor sends an error message like "Couldn't initialize sound files"?

If by "send an error" you mean a windows kind of error window, then no. If you mean in any error log or similar then I don't know.

At bottom left of the WE screen, there's a yellow message texts if there's an error

do you have the "redist" folder in your wc3?

Nope. I have 1 1.29 version installed as well, and there I have it, but not in my 1.30.4 folder.

Try to copy it to the 1.30.4 folder.
