Can't get my own sounds to work

[som3blok3]

Hi

I've been trying to get my own sounds on to RCS but with no luck. I have a load of Le Mans sounds from SSDC that I want to use for cars passing the SF line. I've done some research on here and Slot Forum and Ade said they have to be 8bit WAV files, so I've saved them as such using Audacity. I then go to the 'sound' tab and click 'add', go to the folder and there's no files, as if it's the wrong format.

Am I missing something really obvious? No doubt I am, so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve

When you have added them restart RCS64, and make sure to choose them for the right category.

Thanks for the speedy reply Martin. The problem is that when I go to the folder containing my sound files, there are no items that match my search, wwhen I open the folder but not from RCS then all my sounds are there.

Is 8bit wav the right file type? Can they be MP3?

[martin]

You just goto the folder and select folder then the files should apear in the laft listbox.

Ahh, I have to add the whole folder even though it said there was nothing in the folder. I see, just got my first sound in, thank you!

A bit more help please, so far so good, I've now got 6 different LMP car sounds on the SF line and it's brilliant thanks! I'm playing with the background sound option now, I've deleted 3 of them and kept the Track Ambiance one, I've edited it in Audacity to make it much quieter, that way I can have it playing on loop without it bothering me. I also looped it which has made it over a minute long. When I put it back in the background folder it won't play, is there a time restriction on sounds? If so I could keep the original length and just set trigger time to 0 or 1 second, I presume that'll also work like a loop?
Loving every bit of this software, wish I hadn't wasted a year on SSDC!

I actually have found a bug in the bagground sound loop. you cant add sound here, there is a bug, this will be fixed in the next release that is in its final test states, keep an eye one our facebook site, slotforum or in here. we will announce shortly.

Thanks Martin, are we talking days or weeks? No pressure I'm just wondering.

Is there also an issue with the pit exit sound for non sensored pit entry/exit. Normally when I click the exit button the voice says 'exit, exit now' which is good but I've cut a sample of MW saying 'go go go' which I want to use, the only place the 'exit now' sample can be swapped is the 'stop/go exit' sound.

[martin]

I hope I can say its within weeks we release but I cant tell.

Sorry the Exit pit sound is fixed.

Hi Martin

I'll keep my eyes open and my ear to the ground then.... Any chance you could add the ability to change the pit out sound? I don't mind the guy saying 'exit, exit now' but the screechy F1 car after it sounds out of place.

Here's hoping 

[martin]

About this, the new version will not have the Go setting, you exit the pit menu by the throttle..

[som3blok3]

Now that sounds interesting, it's always a bit of a fumble for new racers to get to the 'Go' option, good plan!

Will there still be an exit sound though? If so then pleeease make it changeable :-)

[martin]

Done:)

  Looking forward to it! I love the way you guys keep on top of it and listen to the users, thanks!
