Sound editing? Or is this still a mystery.

Anyone have any resources for sound editing? I've not had much luck, and the program i did find only gets to the 14th sound before it craps out. I know Zombie knows a this.

I use a version of a program called Cool Edit. It has opened the whole SOUND.DAT file with no problems. I haven't tried the newest demo version. I had the forsight to keep one of their older version: Cool Edit '96. It didn't have an expiration timer like the ones they released later.

Well, i had no luck really. I used goldwave to open the cat files using this setup: Raw PCM unsigned 8 bit, mono. rate 11025. Nothing impressive comes of it, other than i did manage to clip out the plasma rifle sound and put in a different sound and the cat file did not crash the game, but nothing in that sample was playing any sounds.

oh fuck, i just replace a sound successfully. fucking awesome!

Did you remember to alter the appropriate entry at the beginning of the DAT file to match the new sound?

[Munkeylord]

i did it straight into the .cat file, no dat file needed to be altered. it works as if nothing changed at all.

 

and yes, that's how i figured out it worked.

I meant .CAT file but it looks like your sound program updates the register section automatically.
