The Dink Network

I am trying to incorporate .wav format sound files prepared in Audacity but in when I run Dink the sound is not recognizable. I have checked the existing wav files as in FIAT and tried to maintain the sampling rate. Can any one help?

Did you load them in start.c?

NO. in game

open the scrip start.c, and you will see some loadsound commands. you might try to replace some of the loaded sounds with your own.

I think I have not made myself clear. I have done all that. But when I create a .wav file with AUDACITY the music can be played back by all comon softwares eg. winamp and they plays nicely. But when I am loading the same file through DINK engine it is played as distorted sound not even recognizable. Why it is happening?

Are you using the right settings for that wav file? I think the Dink engine is a little picky. I don't know what are the right settings, but I think it's something like 22050 Hz and either 8 or 16-bit, I don't recall which.

I'm currently on break at work so I don't have any of my DinkC references on hand, but I'm pretty sure that has to do with the playback rate used when you use the playsound() function. Just change that in the script you're using to match the normal playback rate of the wav.

I thought it should be 11025 kHz, 8 bit mono. This is sampling rate of sound files of FIAT. But .wav is a container class. what is the underlying fomat? is it PCM?

The Sound FAQ may have the answers you seek.

Thnks redink and all who helped so far. I have checked the file. It tells for 22050 kHZ. Then why FIAT files show 11025 kHz?

As long as the files are the same as you claim they are when you're using playsound(), it might not really matter what they are, now that I think of it...
