need help replacing MG sound

Recommended Posts

hi all,

I'm playing the I44 mod and I didn't like the MG34 sound.

I unpbo'd the i44_sounds_w.pbo and noticed there were 5 sound files affiliated with the MG34.

MG34_burst4.wss

MG34_burst6.wss

MG34_burst8.wss

MG34_shoot.wss

MG34_shoot2.wss

I decoded these and had a listen....

the burst4, burst6, and burst8 files are all respectively 4 round burst, 6 round burst etc...

the shoot 1, and 2 are single shot with different echo at the end of each one.

I spent hours combing the net for a pure, fast sounding mg34 with the right amount of echo, and nobody talking or interfering sounds with it...

I used an audio editor to cut this audio clip into repective 4,6,8 round burst clips, and also a single shot.

I then used a mp3-wav converter and compressed sample rate.

finally I used WSSFileConverter.exe to convert the files back to .wss

renamed the files to exact files as original, then repacked the .pbo

After I converted the files (and even lowered sample rate) to .wav, they sounded great! In game all I hear is a single shot sound and the rest is almost mute..(sounds like someone dropping plastic beads on carpet).

Now at first I thought I found the problem - sample too high, so I progressively lowered quality from 44k down to 16k

no change

then I thought maybe convert into mono and tried again

44k -mono

16k-mono

no change

anyone have any thoughts on what the problem is?

(i've tried both command line and gui versions of wss encoder)

files sound great in wav and mp3 but I can't get them to play in game!!!

really bummed out, 'cause I was very proud of myself for spending hours searching and mixing and cropping sound files..
