UAX file editing
UAX file editing
I'm making a joke mod and want to replace sounds in a UAX files. I used PostED (postal 2 level editor, but I think it doesn't make a difference) and opened the UAX file. I extracted a sound to check the codec and bitrate with VLC and using audacity with FFmpeg I made a sound with the same codec, bitrate, and other bullshit I tried to import it to the UAX it does nothing, but when trying to import the sound I extracted it works. what the heck am I supposed to do?

Re: UAX file editing
I hope I misread it... you add/edit sounds in an existing UAX file, maybe even a stock file?

You can export the file to another format in the unrealed and reconfigure the file you needpapercoffee wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 2:46 pm I hope I misread it... you add/edit sounds in an existing UAX file, maybe even a stock file?
You can edit with the sound browser export the file with the sound browser to another format and import again also with the sound browser.
You can import a wav file and export it to another file type.
in short you can import and export from within wav file.
So you can do the folowing you can import a files but first you must edit the file while its a wav file.
Remember all uax files are looped also, so in other words you must loop the wave file and make the sound ready before configuring and import into the sound browser from unrealed.

@papercoffee
I just dont know if there is a program who support uax files.
he must make a loop from that file while its wav and then import again.
Almost all files from uax file system are configured as a loop, because the sound is very short.
He may not add some house music top 40 music because its forbidden.

I was asking OP if he edits original UT files.

Yes that's what I'm doing, I ain't a modding expert so I'm guessing I'm doing it wrong.papercoffee wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 2:46 pm I hope I misread it... you add/edit sounds in an existing UAX file, maybe even a stock file?
-MERGED-
I'm editing Postal 2 UAX files but searching I found someone that said this site will help because the files are the same (or something similar I don't remember)

Because of the edit of default files:
You don't edit UT stock, files you create a new UAX and implement it into UT.

Re: UAX file editing
how do I do it? I can only open and save UAX files and in the UAX files I can delete, export or import sounds that come from other uax files.

Re: UAX file editing
As you were showing: IMPORT EXPORT exactly from image which you posted. By screwing stock you'll get mismatch rejections when you will forget what you did previously with your game by changing files. Is that even needed ?
If you want a modified sound it will be required exporting it into a wav file, editing that file and reimporting it into other uax. If your goal is having other sounds in game you will need to conform new file with original stock, but you still might get kicks ON-Line in ACE servers.
Else sounds that have to be re-imported must have the same format like those extracted. I used sounds collected from Internet but converted into the same format as UT is exporting, and added into Mylevel from map.

Re: UAX file editing
Presumably you are trying to import a .wav file? If PostED has a log then have a look at that and see if it indicates the source of the import error. The problem could be with the name you have given the .wav file you have created or with the length/name of the path to it.

Re: UAX file editing
I am guessing this audio package will be for use in Postal 2, not UT99, so people can stop panicking about UT miss-matches.
UEd for Postal 2 is based upon UT2003 UEd 3.
I'm not sure how easy it is to simply replace an existing sample but did you delete the sample in the pack before importing ?
The concerns raised earlier about file miss-matches will be a problem in P2.
You will not be able to connect to each other unless all installations of the game have been "updated". They will then no longer be able to connect to any regular servers.
If this is for an offline game no problem.

Re: UAX file editing
Edit: You need a sound editing software like Nero Wave Editor, jetaudio or format factory any sound editor. Open with editor then save to 16/8 bit mono 16000 hz to 44100 hz as a .wav file.
Thanks Dr.flay

Re: UAX file editing
You are mixing UMX music files with UAX sound files.
