Henry Kearney Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 I recently noticed that on my PC, the sound files are being played from the CM CD instead of my hard drive. I have modded many of the sounds and never had this problem before. The graphics are properly modded though. I tried repairing the CM installation using the install/uninstall utility, even deleted from my hard drive and reinstalled to no avail. Whats really strange is that the exit sound file from MadMatt's sound mods plays when the game exits. I recently upgraded to DirectX 8.1 - maybe that's causing this - any ideas??

Schrullenhaft Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 If all of the sounds for CM are installed on the hard drive (and they're not corrupt), they should play from the hard drive. Did you have to convert any of the sound mods from MP3 to WAV ? They have to be encoded as 16-bit, 44.1KHz, mono PCM files. If they're something else, then CM may read them from the CD (I don't know how CM determines that the file is inappropriate and decide to load it from the CD). You should experiment and remove the CD once the game has started (it typically shouldn't be needed after that if you've performed the full 367Mb install). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Kearney Posted January 7, 2002 Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 Schrullenhaft, I think you hit the nail on the head. I downloaded mp3 files from Scipio's web site and simply renamed them as wave files (shows you how much I know!). I'll try converting them and see if this works. Thanks for the prompt response and all the help you've provided on this forum. Henry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
