IBU2u FO sound problem

Post by Death Head »

I'm having trouble getting slider 1&2 to work with these sound files, 3&4 work fine and I'm sure I've copied the names correctly from the tank sound file, can anyone see what the issue is??

Cheers

German_radio_1 to Ger_radio_1

This is a wild ass guess, but IBU2 has a filename limit of 8 characters. Even though German_radio_1 and German_voice_1 has the the 8th character being different, the OS needs to shorten the file to something like German_* in both cases. So after system truncation, both German_radio_1 and German_voice_1 becomes German_* and hence the confusion.

Just a guess, Ian and Ivano would know better.

Ian told me to do it, all he said was the file name was too long and to abbreviate it to "Ger"

lol I had to ask as I wasn't certain.

IBU2u have 16 characters limit, but I didn't realise that include the .wav so for clarity it's 12 characters then .wav for IBU2u.

I have now renamed all the sound files (what I know was wrong) so new outgoing units will be correct. Also Death Head has identified a few other errors so I need to do a full review, check, change so bear with me, I will get there!

Really well done in every way! Sounds are incredibly clear and the smoke and recoil are dialed in perfectly!

I have a situation where ONLY slider_2 works. I have checked for file names, all fall within guidlines. Sound files are 16 bit @2250-again, per spec. SD card is the fastest sandisk they sell, and formated Fat 16-per spec. Once again, I get no random play, and ONLY Slider_2 will play the sound I have chosen for that slot. I mught add these are not custom made sound files, but rather the stock ones that came on the SD card. My Board is the latest IBU2 Ultimate. Any Ideas ?
