After I spent yesterday evening trying to convert .mp3 files to .wav for a new voiceset via batch script, getting more and more frustrated about non-supported codecs and faulty bitrates, I began doing the same thing today with .ogg format . During one of my conversion runs, I accidentally skipped the conversion but renamed the files anyway.

Imagine my substantial surprise when the sounds actually played. I then took a genuine mp3, renamed it to ogg, and behold: buns now sang mexican industrial songs upon spotting an enemy.

Further research revealed that .ogg seems to be some sort of wrapper/typedef for, among other things, mp3 files (the specific nomenclature might differ, I don't give a shit).

This means that ALL THAT WAS MISSING FROM THIS FUCKING GAME HAVING FULL .MP3 SUPPORT WAS ABOUT 50 COPY_PASTED LINES WITH .OGG REPLACED WITH .MP3. Bang head
This also means ALL THE TIMS ANYBODY (ME) SPENT CONVERTING .MP3 TO .WAV OR .OGG WERE A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME. Bang head more

I don't care who was to lazy to add those few lines. Maybe they didn't know, just like I did. I.don't.care.. In my mind they did and were lazy assholes.

One day, I'm going to violently murder someone out of sheer frustration.

Before or after, I might add the missing lines for .mp3 support.



I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.
