I get CTD when asking sonarman to tell me the distance!

[Sag75]

Hi to all,

I've a problem with sonarman icons. When I ask to sonarman to find the ship distance (by clicking on both approximate and acurate distance finding icon), the game quits with CTD!
Anyway, I can ping myself the target clicking on the button in the sonar station and all is ok.

Is there a fix for this issue?


thx!

This happens usually when one or more of the related *.ogg files in ...\data\Sound\Speech_En\*\ is stereo encoded.
They have to be mono encoded.
To solve your prob, look for the related files in all directories 1 - 9 and convert them to mono.

Thanks for your surgical answer!

Just a question on the files I have to check.. there are many SoM_xxx.ogg files! I can't check all of them, too many.. do you know which one is implied?

What Sound Mods are enabled?

There are three sonar files in the sound folder. When I checked mine, they were all two channel stereo. Try converting them to mono and see if it works. If it does, be sure to report back.

Hi irish58,

not the *.wav files in 'Sound' folder are the culprits but the *.ogg files in Speech_En\* or Speech\* folders... * = 1 - 9

@Sag75
I'm afraid you have to check them all because you'll always get a CTD in future when SH3 takes access to these files.
I think they were introduced by some mod...?
