Problem with 3-D sounds {nothing happening with 3D sounds}

[Razoron]

I imported a mp3 sound. And marked it as 3d sound.

• Soundsystem
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play On_the_street <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to X-Wing 0008 <gen>

But nothing happened... Why?

You can use only wav sounds as 3d sounds. Making a 3d wav sound is easiest by replacing an internal wav sound with your file and making sure the wav settings. Also you propably have to compare the wav format settings to be something similar like the wav sounds used in WE.

Now I imported a .wav sound and it still doesn't work.
The Wc3 sounds work.
How to make the .wav soun like a Wc3 .wav sound that they work?

 

[Jaakko]

Make it 22.050 kHz and 1 channel. WE wavs seem to use 16 bit but my 4 bit works too.

Can you tell me a link where i can dl a program to make the soubds wc3-like?

 

[Jaakko]

Audacity is a free tool. You just go to --> edit --> preferences, change the needed settings and save as wav.

It works

I think i never could do this alone. Much thanks.

Audacity also needs that lame.dll to export the sounds.
and a bit of advice, sometimes sounds have to complete before they are allowed to play again, so be sure to give it plenty of time to complete.

with all .wav files the 3d sound option is greyed out

Try setting the channels to 1? That's the only difference I have on my sounds compared to yours.

I did that and i could then change it to 3d sound but now when i play the 3d sound with triggers i hear nothing, i'm playing the sound everytime a specific unit attacks, i can hear the sound perfectly when it's not a 3d sound, but when 3d sound is turned on i hear nothing
