what is the max size / length of seconds a sound file can run?

I want to mod the underwater hydrophone depth charge sound, but it winds up being 2.4 Mb in size and runs for 26 seconds. Is this going to be, ah, bad?

Not sure there is a limit, i used an interior ambience mod a while back that had a 30min mp3 track looping to provide the background noise inside the sub.

+As for filesizes you can get away with dropping the quality massively, no need for 320kbps stuff here, 128 or even 64 will do just fine as with all the other background noises you`ll never hear the difference anyway.

If in doubt id say try it and see, maybe grab a few beta testers to check it out on various systems to be sure it doesnt cause problems.

Cool beans.

As an aside, this is a great place to pick up all sorts of naval and sea sounds: http://www.hnsa.org/sound/index.htm

That's not quite right.
The speech *.ogg files have to be in mono. Not the *.wav files in 'Sound' folder...
