Continuing from my
Page 3 post 43, I still have to re-do my installs of SH4, but I've looked at the audio files a bit in the different versions of FOTRS and stock 1.5, and I've noticed that the "creak" wav files are all at 1411kbps, in "stereo" (aka: 2 channel), across all versions of FOTRS & stock 1.5. The "glassbreak" wav files are at 705kbps, and mono (one channel), which would somewhat make sense, since 705 is about half of 1411, and mono is "half" of stereo... Windows supposedly switches sample rates just fine, usually.
The actual creak files are approx. 13-14 seconds long, with FOTRSv2 using new files for all four. The "glassbreak" files are 0.5-0.9 seconds long, but are the same in all versions (not overwritten by the mod). I'm not sure how they're "called" in the game, but you have to go below test depth, of course. I don't know if that difference in sample rate, or the length of the file has any influence on things - maybe... There is also the possibility that the user's computer audio settings and/or hardware may influence the audio playback. Perhaps there's a "call" to the audio files based upon depth and time at that depth, and that's what fails to "click" and "tick"... ?? I do have strange audio issues sometimes after time compression (not an unusual experience in SH4). It just makes me wonder how the developers tested this aspect of the game, and if they still have their sanity...

Oh, if only I'd started that way...
- I still can't get going "cleanly", and I guess tomorrow I'll be doing a "wipe" of the hard drive of all things Ubi & SH4, and try for a fresh install. My "shortcut" attempts today have been futile, and my v1.5 runs like the initial release DVD version... All because I mixed-up save files and opened the wrong thang and then for some strange reason, tried to "save" it... Not cool. I got in too much of a hurry trying to re-load a test mission, so I could hear (or not hear) glass breaking...
btw Rockin Robbins, PM received, and reply Sent - I think. At least, that's what the Inbox shows, but the Sent Items show empty. This is a different version of PM than what I'm used to, so if you didn't get a reply, tell me I'm a dum-dum in public, and I'll send another reply... thanx
