Alright, I'm completely confused, I have a file, I opened it in audacity, set the sample rate to 44100hz, set it to mono, exported as 16 bit WAV, put it in data\levels\tutorial\sounds

Run the command os_tool sounds "levels\test\tutorial\sounds\file" ogg 1

And then it replies with importing and just stops, I run the command again, and it says it fixed the sample rate and the file may be corrupt.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Quick tutorial for fixing audio files that wont compile:

A lot of people shy away from working with sounds too much in Halo because of all the compile problems they encounter. I made a tutorial a while back for compiling long sounds like music and whatnot but since then I have had to help several people whose sounds stubbornly refused to compile.

These problems are quite common. Fortunately they are very easy to fix once you know how.

If you are having problems with a particular sound these 5 simple steps should solve the problem (most of the time).

1. Open your original sound in Audacity.

2. Open a new empty Audacity window and set the "Project Rate" (in the bottom left corner) to either 22050 or 44100

3. Copy the contents of your original file to the new empty file.

4. Close and delete your original file (or move it to a different directory away from where you will compile).

5. Export the audio from your new file to a .wav file

Basically some of these files are set up in some weird way that confuses the heck of of tool. By copying the contents of your original file into a fresh new file you are clearing away the excess information/formatting in the file.





Incase you are still a little lost.

Wait, I got it! the folders had to be set up a certain way, and audacity was not having any of my changes for some unknown reason. I had to re-install audacity, and I finally got it working. Thanks for the help.
