So my sound card supports 7.1, and all speakers output the correct sounds in both the driver software and windows sound configuration screen, but I pop in 5.1 content in VLC and WMC and everything still outputs as Stereo. I'm fairly sure that Sharknado supports Dolby Digital 5.1 as it says it on the back side of the CD case. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, but I'm not sure what other things could be causing this.

None.

Your video player set to 5.1 playback?

Does your soundcard menu have a speaker test? Does that work correctly?

Yes, all media players are set to 5.1 playback. Both the sound card sound check and the Windows sound check output the sounds in their correct locations.

None.

Depending on the player, you may need to check settings for individual decoders as well.

None.

Symmetry -- https://staredit.net/topic/18903/ can u do it

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen

[2026-7-12. : 5:25 pm]

Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
