Bullet Impacts not working

**Emperor of The Great Unknown** · June 21, 2016, 11:02 AM

Hello I am trying to replace the sound effect for bullet impacts on troops. However when I load up my pack file with the new sounds, it doesn't play the sound. (it doesn't even play the vanilla sound.) Any ideas on what could be wrong?

original sounds are mono, yours are stereo. Maybe that's the problem?

Converted to Mono, but the problem still persists.

File header in your files is slightly different than in those files game uses. That's probably the reason why you can't hear them in game - it doesn't recognize them as audio files.

What software are you using?
Try something different maybe? I'm using Audacity and sounds saved there work fine.

I use Audacity as well. Mind sharing your saving procedure for sound effects?

menu File>Export
then Save as Type "Wav (Microsoft) Signed 16bit PCM"

I saved your files again with Audacity (v 2.05), converted some of them to mono where there was stereo (i'm not sure if that would be problem, but...),
made mod of it. Seems to work for me.

I've Attached the file. Try it. It's Mod, not Movie format, so you need to add it to user.script, or change to movie.
And just to be safe, if you have SFX/Weapons/Bullet_impacts folder with loose files in Napoleon/Data, then remove it, or rename it to avoid loose files getting in the way.

Thank you so much!
