I'm looking to convert all my WAVs into OGG to reduce file size. Unfortunately I use WINMPQ so I can no longer delete sound files via the sound editor in SCMDRAFT.

Deleting the WAVs in WINMPQ does not actually delete them out of the map.

Anyone got any solutions on how to do this?

I see you !

Can't you kill the wavs using winMPQ, add the new ogg files, and use the string editor to edit the sound filename paths? (Since the strings will stick around as long a trigger references them)

Deleting WAVs via winMPQ doesn't actually delete them (filesize stays the same which means they are still in there somewhere).

I see you !

You probably need to run an optimize or compact or similar command in winmpq to reduce the filesize.

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.
