Hey all,

After a whole year I finally got around to continue my ZH Voice Mod and I managed to get some people to do voices.

However, one of the guys who was doing the Battle Bus sound sent me an example for his sound and it turned out to be only 2 seconds long but around 450 KBs. Usually I would expect around 100KBs or less for such a file. He used sound recorder (XP) for that, like I recommended. When converted to MP3 it reduced the size by 88.76%.

Now my questions -

Going on AudioSettings.INI (see attached codes) you'll see those parts of code:

Code:

AudioSettings
  AudioRoot = Data\Audio
  SoundsFolder = Sounds
  MusicFolder = Tracks
  StreamingFolder = Speech
  SoundsExtension = wav
  UseDigital = Yes
  UseMidi = No

and

Code:

  AudioFootprintInBytes = 4194304

and

Code:

  MicrophoneDesiredHeightAboveTerrain = 50.0
  MicrophoneMaxPercentageBetweenGroundAndCamera = 33.3%
  ZoomMinDistance = 130.0
  ZoomMaxDistance = 425.0
  ZoomSoundVolumePercentageAmount = 20%

1) The line; 'SoundsExtension = wav' means it uses wav files for the units etc right? Can I change it to 'SoundsExtension = mp3' so the wav files won't work but as mp3 they will work?
2) What does 'UseDigital = Yes' means?
3) What does 'AudioFootprintInBytes' means?
4) What each of the 5 lines in the third piece of code means?

Thanks for help!
