Sound Master 09 - Beta Test

[Rinaldo]

So i can import the chants without problem but commentary addons no?

Also commentary can be imported from old versions but you need to convert the .hdr before, at the moment you can fo it for just one file at a time so it is not very quick.

Hi Rinaldo !!!
Again you've made an excellent work.Thanks.
Two doubts
1. Is there an limited amount of chants that can exist? I made a couple for new teams I made with Creation Center, and everything worked fine, until suddenly the commentaries were no longer there.

2. My chants come very low on the game itself. How can I pump up the volume of the chants only?

Thanks again for all your work.

1. There's no limit (as far as I know). Missed commentary is typically due to an incorrect sampling rate of the sounds.

2. you need to edit the .ini files in the audio .big for your language but I don't remember the string.

Thanks... it worked better now.
Another couple questions.
1. Seems that my new chants work only on friendly matches. How can this work on tournaments or leagues?

2. I made three new teams with Creation Center, and chants don't work (even not in friendly matches) when they play against each other.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for nagging with all these doubts.

I installed some chants and now my commentary files are gone?

You should only save one time, because if you save two times or more the commentry will gone like in your FIFA.

Which chant causes he problem ?

Which chant causes he problem ?

It was an English chants one, came with 2 parts of the ea forum FIFA 09 PC on the "must have files" thread. Is their any way to recover these commentary files?

Which chant causes he problem ?

It happen to me too. I have created a chant last week, 1 national anthem, 2 chant for Kedah team (league team). Now adding two more, I lost the commentary. I retested my patch. I add only 1 chant for Selangor team. Save and close, then go to commentary, all commentary are listed as expected. Now I close commentary and open chant. This time I add 1 chants for Selangor team also. Add the wave file (stereo/24000hz), add new reference and do as usual.

Save and close (and save again). I go back to commentary. Weird, all commentary are gone.

I only have 5 chants. The fifth addition create the problem.

For quick info,
Selangor 1 - SELGR0002
SELANGOR 2 - SELGR0801

Both name length comply to you suggestion. However as for the sound, I did at first create an audio with 40 second long for SELGR0801, but already cut it to reduce below 30 second after comparing with other original team chants in game. Most of the chants are below 30 sec. But that too didn't do anything. Once I add the 5th chants, regardless of whch added first, the commentary gone.

I think it has to do with naming or adding more name. Hope the problem explain above helps debugging SM09. Great software. Already have my national team have the commentary added. Excellent.

I don't really know if this is a solution or what because I did multiple attempt.

1. I've change both selangor chant files to SLGR001 and SLGR002 to make it shorter.
2. I clone the first selangor reference, and change it for SLGR002.

it works. Prior to this I did new reference twice, for each chants.

So, the problem reported above are now solved. Thank you for your patient.

Hi Rinaldo,

Any update on the possibility for hdr_###.big conversions?

 

[Rinaldo]

I am not back to SM yet. Btw I have seen that the current function works also for multiple files, did you try ?

It does have that feature but only for a very small number of hdr files at any one time. (I think about 3). So that helps, but obviously not a great deal.

I imported some songs & now I can't hear any english commentary.

How can I fix this?

Hello RINALDO.

At first I want to thank you for spending your time for developing the Sound Master 09 and replying to the many questions.

I have the following terrible big problem:

I was so enthusiastic to find the sound master and the 2. Bundesligasoundpatch that i have not read the introduction for your tool carefully enough.

I have added the patch with your tool and have saved TWO times.

Since this point it is not possible to use fifa 09. The game crashes when I load a game. I have unistalled fifa 09 and delated all remaining files. Than I installed fifa again but the problem is stay alive.

Do you have any idea how I can solve the problem?

Best regards

 

[Rinaldo]

Maybe you need to remove also the FIFA 09 folder below Documents folder.
For the future you do not need to reinstall FIFA but you just have to make a backup of your data folder and replace the corrupted file. For SM08 normally it is the audio.big file that is responsible for crash.
Save using the save menu, do not save while exiting or closing. It has been reported a bug in this situation (though I never saw it myself) I think I will simply remove this option in the next version.

I think the problem is the sampling rate of the audio file. Restore the song from the original disk.

I've recently started having same problem as few guys here. The one with sx.exe. So I tried everything, even reinstalled my windows. The bad and stupid, after I reinstalled the windows I've reinstalled all and I mean all versions of net framework and I suppose one of those newer ones is the problem. So theres like basic ones 1.1,2.0,3.0,3.5 and additionaly some new service packs for all of those(STUPID MICROSOFT). The problem is you cant remove all of those through add/Remove so I found this little tool http://files.filefront.com/dotnetfx+cleanup+toolzip/;12783400;/fileinfo.html and removed all versions of framework. Than I installed only the basic ones 1.1 ,2.0 and 3.0. Important no others and no service packs for those. I hope it helps!!!

And here is what happens now. CM doesnt start at all. But Beta 4 does work. FUNNY. Sound Master 08 with which I made all my chants for fifa 09 till now has the worst problem and dowsnt recognize wavs and gives errors. The SM09 works at least when I press edit chant button with audacity but when importing new wav still gives the same error. Damn Microsoft. I've been doing patches since fifa 07 and till about ten days ago never had problems wiyh any of these great tools. I'm stiil sure it's something to do with windows update, some stupid hotfix or like I said some framework update which maybe corupts some windows runtime files needed for Fifamater tools to run properly. So people be carefull with automatic updates. I hope Rinaldo could look into it. Just dont think its a virus or spyware problem it is not. Like I said I reinstalled windows, ran Adaware, spybot, virus scans. Its frustrating really. Please Rinaldo, when you have some time could you look into it?

 

[torcamaniac]

Now all works perfect again CM and SM but damn me if I know why!!!
