Sound Help importing ambient noise and other into UnrealEd

[Capt.Marion]

I have been trying and trying, but I haven't been able to import my ambient noise into UnrealEd. It simply just "fails" as it so aptly states. (in the log)
.wav info-

.wav
Bit Rate: 352 kbps
Sample Size- 16 bit
Mono
Sample Rate- 22 KHz
Audio Format- PCM Wav
name- ambientforcaptmarionsmap.wav
size-2.94mb

bitrate is too high, stick to 128kbps (you might what to upsample to 41000khz first because unreal supports that I think.)

 

[Capt.Marion]

okay. Is there a particular utility you use for this?

 

[UncleDrax]

UnrealWiki says this about importing sounds:
http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Importing_Sounds

As for utility to change the sample rate, I believe Audacity (a free sound proggy) can do this easy enough.
It's Sourceforge page is here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

For some reason importing sounds doesn't work at ALL currently. I had to make the package with Ut2004 ed

 

[Capt.Marion]

aye. Is there a way to just move it from UnrealEd to ROEd, or should I just wait 'till it gets fixed? i'm in no hurry seeing as I am away for the next few weeks on vacation.

 

[Moz]

now unrealed wont import packages.. bizzare?!

I was able to import an alarm siren no problem it was a wav file I got off the net. I didnt even make any changes.

ARGH, I forgot UnrealED is gay.

Try putting the file in C:/ and importing it from there.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

Yeah all sounds need to be in C:/ before you can import them. Remember just C:/ no folder or anything Took ages to work that out the stupid thing.

 

[Divinehammer]

I think that it just has to be either in C:/ or a file path that has no spaces. mine is c:/ROsounds

 

[UncleDrax]

Yeah.. it's a bit tricky because if you stick it in your Red Orchestra directory, it has a space (usually Programs Files)

No Spaces in import paths.. I've found it handy to make a directory like D:\rowork\sounds I use as a work directory.. no spaces, imports fine :]

 

[Capt.Marion]

aye, OK. I'll try that as soon as possible.
