WAV replacement (unit soundset) is silent in-game

Hello,

I replaced the Zergling's "what" sounds using PyMPQ. Image: https://www.coh2.org/file/19030/sc-wav-replace1.png
In-game, it resulted in no sound. I replaced 3 of 4 "what" sounds, the 4th, unreplaced one, still played.
The custom sounds are .wav, so what do I need to change about them? Comparison: https://www.coh2.org/file/19031/sc-wav-replace2.png

I attached one of the custom .wav sounds: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/pastebin/691a9a28b87a0b5e4f794c193098a56221561/

The default sample rate in SC classic is 22KHz. Maybe the too-high sample rates are not playing due to the engine limitation of some kind.



Trial and error... mostly error.

Thank you, it has worked! :D
Settings: 22050KHz, 1 channel: https://www.coh2.org/file/19032/sc-wav-replace3.png
I used this site to convert it: https://online-audio-converter.com/de/

The game can play sample rates higher than 22,050Hz, I think the issue with your original custom sound was the audio format. It uses IMA ADPCM compression, but SC should only be able to read PCM (uncompressed). Presumably, converting the wav using that site generated a sound file without the compression scheme.

Ah. That was the second idea I had, but I thought the sample rate was the culprit (as it was so way out of what SC usually had; I know that 44100 KHz files played alright).

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
