MikeT Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 I am trying to convert a MP3 file I got from a website into a wav for the game intro(00005010.wav). I got a shareware MP3 to wav converter which converted the file perfectly. But when I put it into the game and start the game it speeds up the wav, sounds like the Chipmunks really. Now the original wav file is 44,1000Hz 16bit stero 64sec. The one I want to use is 24,000Hz 16bit, stereo at 39 sec in length. I tried to convert it but the Chipmunk sound got worse. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfamily33 Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Mike: If you converted it to the original file specs it should have worked. I think 44,100 mhz and 16 bit should be right. I've converted many MP3 to wav without a problem. However, I could never get 00005010 to play in a game. I don't know if it's associated with the opening CM Movie or is an actual background ambient sound. Do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Schulz Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 I recently used one of the german panzer marches that were in MP3 format, and used the program Earjam to convert it to a wav and use it for my 00005010 file and it works perfect. I also used it for the US CAV march and same deal. Earjam has never let me down yet for converting anything. ------------------ "D-Day was a nightmare.

MikeT Posted January 2, 2001 Author Share Posted January 2, 2001 This is strange for what you have recommended is what I did. Now this wav is the original start sound file. I am working on a desert mod for CM and want to use a MP3 of a favorite DAK song. What I did was to used Windows sound recorder to convert the wave file to match the original 00005010 but it seems to run at double speed, hence the chipmonk reference. It seems that the game plays this intro music at a certain speed (44,100 Hz) regardless of speed of the wave file. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Sadler Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 I've converted an MP3 of the Great Escape theme perfectly, it's in the Wav directory (I can play it in Windows) but when I start up CM, I sitll get the same, original music. I don't know if this is tied in with anything or not. I guess this discussion would probably be better in the Tech Support forum. ------------------ Jeremy Sadler Webmaster stargrunt.com http://www.stargrunt.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
