ok, i have a sound file that i would like to use for warp up (snd 128). i made a .wav file with the same name, same frequency (22050hz), same channel (1), and same bits (16). the only thing that's different is the sound file size. i imported that file for snd 128, but for some reason it shows as size:0 byes.
does the .wav file have to be the same size as the original?

BTW, i'm on Windows EVNEW.

Sounds (nothing intended) like a problem with EVNEW sound import. Try making the wav 8 bits, as I know it will be better that way. And make sure it's uncompressed. Can't help you more, I'm stuck on a PC (I do plug deving on my Mac at home) on which I can't install Quick Time, that EVNEW requires.

tried 8 bits mono AND stereo. still doesn't work. i'll assume that it's the file size mismatch. thanks anyway.
BTW, compression ration was 1 to 1 (100%). does this mean it is not compressed at all?

EDIT: i just matched the file size, but it still doesn't work...

I don't think it can be the file size match, people have been in the past making plugs that made the warp sound very short (as it shortens hyperin time), try to import another sound in EVNEW to see if it works. 1 to 1 is indeed not compressed.

Correct me if i'm wrong, I havent messed with sounds in a while, but last time I was playing with sounds resedit and Nova would only take sounds in the system7 format or .snd. I'm not sure it can use wav formats.

Of course, but EVNEW imports the sound for them to be put in plugs in wav format (there's no way a system 7 sound can survive on a PC, for the same reason a plug can't: resource fork).

nope... none of the imported .wav files don't work. none of them are corrupted nor compressed.
i'll assume that EVNEW is malfunctioning..

Then, send aprosenf a nice bug report, as EVNEW is still technically in public beta.

just a final check, so i don't have to waste Azratax's time.
here's what i got from the log:

Warning: Sound file "C:Documents and SettingsDoRRuSDesktopWarp up.wav" contains unsupported chunk. Skipping.

it shows the same message for every snd bits... what exactly is the "unsupported chunk" that EVNEW is talking about?

------------------
My parents died in Roswell incident.

wow... i just realized that none of the import feature works for all bits, even when i create a new resource. this is really discouraging... all that time spent on coming up with ideas and making pictures/sounds turned to nothing.

I haven't had any problems importing anything with EVNEW, though admittedly I never tried sounds until I read this topic. I just downloaded the first wav file (AMFBEEP.WAV) from (url="http://"http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/main/sfxlib/beep.shtml")this(/url) site, and had no problem importing it with EVNEW and playing in game.

Do you have the most recent version of EVNEW? Maybe the file size does matter? I dunno, I seem to be able to import sounds and graphics no problem.

------------------

my copy is the latest version. downloaded last week.
i'm suspecting EVNEW file corruptions... i'll try to redownload EVNEW.

------------------

Also, try a fresh install of QT as well, that has been known to clear up some issues for developers.

------------------

ah... thank you. i reinstalled QT and now the image import works fine.
sound import still shows the same problems however. i'll assume that this trully is a bug.
