AI Footstep OGGs are stero

PysmH reported in the public forums that the reason for the omnidirectional footstep sounds is the respecitve OGG files being encoded in stereo. We need to convert these files back to mono.

 

I'll send a PM to Dram whether he got the original WAV files around somewhere.

Question from a sound noob: Is it possible to remove one channel from the stereo without recompressing them, and thus end up with mono, or would that not work?

I reported some non-directional sounds before we released (believe they were AI alert/combat vocals), but when we checked they were all encoded in mono. It's probably worth doublechecking, but might be some other weird thing going on.

 

I remember that. It's with the pro vocals right? It's because they reproducing what's called at anti-phase effect, giving an untrue mimicry of stereo. Actually, to be true, it's making the vocals sound like they are coming from behind you (creating wack tonal appearance of stere). I believe this was created somehow when I engineered them to pitch bend a semitone lower. It's a bit of an anomaly since pitch bending shouldn't do that. The only fix is to re-do the entire vocal set, though at this point, I am willing to sit a new actor down and redeliver the lines, since it's the worse acted of all the voice sets.

Are we sure they are? He didn't seem certain.

Yeah, I checked it myself.

 

edit: I converted them now, from OGG to OGG. If Dram replies to my PM, I can re-export them from WAV, provided he still has those files.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
