Custom sound files won't play

[GojiraGamer]

So right now I'm working on a mod to replace the music in JKA with music from KoTOR, but when I try to change the menu music, all I get is silence.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?

I think it's because Jedi Academy supports MP3 formats with about 120 kBit/s. If your files have more than that, like

320 kBit/s, you should convert them into 120 kBit/s.

 

A question to those who are into coding:

Is it possible to modify the game so that it recognizes MP3 files with higher quality?

[Ramikad]

Also, wasn't there something about music being mono or stereo? Or am I confusing it with sounds?

I think OpenJK does this, if I recall correctly... @@Xycaleth?

Music mp3s can be stereo, but sound effects that are played at a location in a level must be mono.

No, MP3 code hasn't been changed as far as I know. The only sound-related value that's been increased is the default playback frequency (from 22kHz to 44kHz).

Right. How about wav files? I seem to recall I could be a lot more careless with wav files and have it accepted in OpenJK, but I may remember incorrectly.

 

 

For mp3s and wavs, or one of them, I think it has a cap on 44khz sample rate, but the console should usually state what's wrong.

Pretty sure vanilla requires 44kHz as the maximum for both wav and mp3. I remember that being a console error I've seen many a time.

Any idea how I can change the output?

What do you mean by "output"?

[IrocJeff]

What do you mean by "output"?

 

I think he means how do you change a sound file to the right frequency, like in Audacity.

[GojiraGamer]

Yep, that's what I mean. Also, I'm not using Audacity.

[Circa]

Yep, that's what I mean. Also, I'm not using Audacity.

Then what are you using?

[GojiraGamer]

WavePad Sound Editor.

[Circa]

Ah. I used to use that back in the day, but don't have it anymore. I believe the options are in the File or Edit menu, though that could he completely wrong.

[GojiraGamer]

Thanks! I think it worked. Now to test it out...
