Export sound... then corrupted. Created 20 years ago2003-11-05 08:48:11 UTC by Steinin

Everytime I try to export a sound from the pac0.pac the sound end up as a 0 kb file and unplayable. I'm using Wally.

Isn't Wally capable of doing this or is it something else?

Maybe you have a corrupt .pak file

I have had the same problem...i think its a bug in Wally..

Kepp trying, it worked for me when i tried several times in a row..

use pak explorer on the vlatitude files section
i never tried exporting sounds tho, but models work fine

Yeah, it's a bug in Wally: extract twice to the same place and it'll be fine

OK I got the file exported successfully but then I target it in worldcraft with the ambient_generic and when I the test the map it gives me a warning. The map begins to load but the sound isn't found and the processing... comes up and tries to do something for eternity.

What could be wrong?

The sound needs to be in the sound folder of whatever game you are mapping for. For instance SIERRAHalf-Lifevalvesound for normal half-life. In the ambient generic, the wav name should begin with whichever subfolder the sound is in. For instance the bee buzzing sound would be entered as ambience/bee1.wav ...the slash there needs to be a forward slash...

Could Capital letters be causing this? D:/HL

Here is the path were the file is but can't be found:
D:/HL/sm/sound/debris/beamstart1.wav

YES!!! I got it working.

It's all the path's fault. It must be sound/ambience/beamstart1.wav
