Does anyone know how to create your own SoundPaks that will work on the new Sound Machine?

Post or email mailto:ben101@uboot.com

Hope someone can help?

Chris?

SoundPaks are a collection of MP3's (named 1.mp3 2.mp3 -> 11.mp3) zipped, and renamed to SoundPakX.pak

SoundPaks are a collection of MP3's (named 1.mp3 2.mp3 -> 11.mp3) zipped, and renamed to SoundPakX.pak

I done that and made a sound pack. When i opened the application i had a new button to click, this was for my new sound pack. But i got a run time error
Run-Time error '53'
File Not Found
When i clicked the button.
Why did i get this error? has anyone made their own sound packs that work?

To create your own soundpaks

1. collect 11 mp3's that you want to use (if it is a large file then you may get a delay when you press it)
2. rename them to 1.mp3 - 11.mp3 (to make the soundpak work you must have 11 mp3's in the pak otherwise an error pop up will be displayed)
3. zip them all up and rename the zip file to "SoundPak#.pak" (you must have the capitals)
4. put this pak file into the 'soundpaks' folder
5. when you open up the sound machine a new button will appear. click on it and wait for the sounds to load.
6. play away!!

These are not proper pak files they are just imitations that are used to work on the sound machine

Hope this helps

well thats what i did do
maybe some files are not in mp3 format, i'll have another go soon

[Chris]

You must have 11 files.

I'm going to sound like a complete amateur here but, how do you "zip them all up" regarding the sounds for the SoundPaks ? ? ?

[Chris]

Use Winzip or something similar

[Stephen.]

ive got that but then how do i put them all on one zip file so that they'll work on the machine??? Sorry im just not at all used to zip stuff ! ! !

[David]

Create a new zip then choose "Add file to Zip"

When you have your 11 mp3's in the zip, rename the file to whatever.pak

Thanx, thats cleared things up a lot!!!!

[David]

being sarcastic ?

No I wasn't but it's still not working coz when I create the zip file and put it into the sounpaks folder it doesnt work all it does is put a zip file into the soundpaks folder HELP ! ! !

[Magicman]

As explained earlier you need 11 mp3's.
Use Winzip to create a new zip file and add all of the mp3's (named 1.mp3 - 11.mp3). Name it SoundPak?.zip and put it in the SoundPak folder

Then rename the zip file to SoundPak?.pak

Open the Sound Machine and click on the corresponding button (ps I think some of the numbers are messed up)

Wait for the sounds to upload and there you go.

[Stephen.]

At last I've got it working!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it had something to do with the fact that my winzip evaluation period had expired so it wasn't creating proper files - thanx to the many people that have helped!!!!

I also have some problems with Winzip because it is on a trial. Some features are disbled but it is a rip off. Does anyone know the name of another piece of zipping software that is FREE

[David]

get a crack for it

[gregs]

(ps I think some of the numbers are messed up)

me too.

my 5 (weakest link) looks like a 6!



also: is the num lock alert only on v. 4.0.3 - becoz on a laptop (ie. me) u dont wont the alert

cheers,

gregs

My weakest link '5' also lookslike a 6. t's probably just too small, either that or chris can't count.

[Stephen.]

Hey guys - should you really be knocking Chris back on this number subject, I meen, he's done a great job on the machine surely as long as you know what button does what job, he could label them 1 6 9 3 8 5 and it wouldn't matter ! ! ! Just my opinion though ! ! !

[TJD]

well, you see, being able to count is one of the most important things to do in this day and age.

[Chris]

my 5 (weakest link) looks like a 6!

I thought that when I made it but I couldn't be bothered finding a more readable font - figured everyone could count

[gregs]

actually, when i added more packs - all the numbers do appear but in the wrong order. but who cares!
