I don't know what the problem is exactly but my sounds are erratic. I fire an 84mm RR and sometimes it sounds like a crash, and the next time like a soft fart.

Strange...WB

Well I finally got down to the "soft fart" notation on my to-do list and after scratching my head awhile I remembered this post. I loaded up a game with 84 mm RR teams and sent them hunting and all the sounds seemed fine to me. Are you still hearing this on your machine?

Hi,

There is a WinRAR compressed file with all the WAV files and the Sounds.ini file included, posted at the Armorsite's WinSPMBT page, so it's only a matter of enduring the download (43 MB) and "unrar" it to your C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT\Game Data\Sounds folder, and you're in business...

I posted this big file so that those who are suffering from the sound problem with the MP3 files can find an easy solution to their problem. But I ask that if you are part of the majority that doesn't have this problem, *PLEASE* don't download it, and let those who really need it to get it, because I can't garantee it will remain there for any longer if I run into bandwidth usage problems. Many downloads of a 43 MB file make up for a lot of bandwidth usage...

I hope this helps anyone who is suffering from this problem, which is caused, so it seems, by on board sound cards which doesn't deal well with playing multiple MP3 files at the same time.

The reason I provided the simple instructions to convert the existing MP3 files with Goldwave is that Goldwave is only a 1.76MB DL and it then takes about three minutes to convert all the existing MP3's to WAV's unless the person is totally inept. A 1.76MB DL then three minutes of easy work seemed a much simpler solution than posting huge files for people to download which really chews into your bandwidth allowance.

Also - the goldwave route would be much better for someone on dial-up, 1.8 MB dial up is a lot less painful than 43Mb, especially if the dial-up user is paying by the minute.

Jesus Almighty Christ! Guys... Come on...

I am only making another alternative available. There are lots of people, as it seems you two just ignore it, that have difficulty even in finding a file within their HD... And who prefer the 43 MB download. And, Don, qualifying those persons as "totally inept" is just being rude (to put it mildly), and doesn't help WinSPMBT a little bit. Why would I bother to upload a 43 MB file, if it is not to help somebody else?

What's going on here, anyway?

How about doing a little thinking before dropping heavy artillery on people who are only wanting to help?

A BIT sensitive for some reason today?

YOU were the one asking people to only DL your file because of bandwidth usage problems. ALL I did was point out the reasons why *I* provided the alternative I did. If there are people who prefer to DL 43 MB over 1.8 and a couple minutes work then you've definitely provided a useful and valuable service for them and there is nothing wrong with that.

Take a pill, NOBODY was "dropping heavy artillery on people who are only wanting to help" gimme a break. If you want to provide this to people that just fine by us.

Just one question:

Allthe problems discussed in this topic are XP related right?...I mean, there shouldn't be any issue runing under W98, with any codec or whatever the culprit is on XP right?
