Ambient Sound? (DP SDL: TOTAL CHANNELS == MAX CHANNELS)

[Baker]

I get TOTAL CHANNELS == MAX CHANNELS issues with Ambient sounds only with DarkPlaces-SDL.exe and not DarkPlaces.exe with OpenQuartz ( from qarchive) and often when doing experiments with replacing the ambient sounds.

I haven't checked to see if all the OpenQuartz ambient sounds are looped.

Does anyone know the proper sound specifications for ambient sounds?

The OpenQuartz ambient sounds are 32 bit mono 11025 Hz with a bitrate of 88kbps. That seems to be the same thing that the original Quake sounds use. Again, I haven't checked to see if they are looped, but a believe they are because I do not recall getting "Sound Not Looped" issues in other engines.

I've been told the DarkPlaces SDL is better with sound than the standard DarkPlaces and prefer using the SDL build.

Thanks for info, I'll go thru and double check to ensure no stereo sounds are being used.

Add: That's almost a sound tutorial by itself Nice!

DarkPlaces supports stereo sounds (as well as good ol' dosquake for that matter), so that's not your problem. I can't point out what it is though.

[Baker]

I discovered this 5 minutes later None of the sounds in question were stereo.

I don't get the problem with regular DarkPlaces, only the SDL. I may try some different total conversions out to see if they get the problem as well with the ambients out of curiosity.

CoolEdit, incidentally, has recently become Adobe Audition. They're much the same program, but it's handy to know if you're looking into the latest version.

Not so recently either, I think it's been so for way over a year.

CheapAlert - its handy information for new modders, it is thorough, and it explains rather than merely instructing.
