sound troubles. (unsolveable)

Well, I wsas including space ships in MAD, so I wanted to get their sounds. I followed Rends' tut on how to make your own sound file, but I couldn't get it to work, probably for the same reason using stock ones won't work for me. I looked at Manderek's tut, and set up the LUA like so:

Code: Select all

    ReadDataFile("sound\\geo.lvl;geo1cw")
    ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\spa.lvl;spa2cw")
but the space sounds didn't show up. so I did this:

Code: Select all

	ReadDataFile("dc:sound\\spa.lvl;spa2cw")
    ReadDataFile("sound\\geo.lvl;geo1cw")
but now the geo sounds won't show up. Is it possible to fix this without making a new sound .lvl file for everything?

EDIT: I guess not, this can be locked or deleted.

I'm going to unlock this even pending month-old bump that swingking did. To answer the question, you're trying to load waaaay to much into the sound pool. You only have so much memory for sounds, so you can't just put two world sounds in there and hope to have it all fit. In addition often times conflicting sounds will cancel each other out.
