Got the custsounds.oxp installed, which is nice. But is it just me, or are some of them not working? Of ones I've noticed, the docking/whichspace jump whoosh is now mute, as is the ECM sound.

What I presume is the appropriate ogg sounds are in the package, and they play, but the game just doesn't use them. This is wrong, surely, innit?

Pretty sure there is something with the ECM - along the lines of Countermeasures activated"

Is it just me or does the weapon overheating sound like cabin overheating?

Can you change the sound for target lost - that whoop whoop siren makes me think a misslie has been launched.

Some of the custom sounds in the OXP are simply too long to use as sound effects (they seem to play entire music tracks as well as just a spot effect)and don't load properly.

I'm not sure if this has been pointed out to milinks yet.

Yeah, i'm aware of the issues with the length of some of the files

The OXP was really designed as an example of the possibilities of further effects. As such to get a feel for backing music in space i had to use long sound files, gauging the silences etc. The whole thing was really a kind of stocking filler up to when Giles had time to slip in some more of the ones i and others suggested. Ive been working on a mission oxp which should be finished soon, and then I'll put out a better customsounds.oxp

Thanks for downloading it Dark1 and others, all comments are welcome, and needed to strive us to do better. Damn that sounds like a throw back to my form teacher at school!

A possible quick fix would be to raise the in-memory limit in the Mac sound code for the upcoming release. (kMaxDecodeSize declared in OOCASoundDecoder.m)

If there are effects don't like, can I just delete the relevant sound file, or will this cause problems when it can't find the file?

Cheers,

Alan

You can just delete it.
