Very strange: open map in UnrealEd, open Texture Browser in any editor view, choose "Properties" from context menu - and you will hear the church bell from MyLevel.ct_bell_01

Furthermore some players with UT version < 469d have strange walk sounds and even crashes with this map…
<EDIT>
UnrealEd 436 said just before crashing: Log: BspValidateBrush linked 0 of 0 polys and map cannot be saved.

<EDIT3>
DS_GiranCastleSnd.TheJoust and DS_GiranCastleSnd.SwordPlay have 2 channels at 44100 Hz, 16 bit/channel - maybe that is the reason?

Yes, I got strange 'shot'' sounds with my CS Mac when playing the DM version - checked all the non-default sounds, found that the two you have noted were stereo - converted them to mono and everything has been fine since then.

It's the stereo that is the problem - the sample rate, etc are high but OK - I use those rates for all the sounds I extract/use without any issues.

I should have reported the issue at the time but was reluctant to do so as people had seemingly not had issues with stereo sounds I had previously reported.

Texture properties viewport is realtime and emit sounds.

436 UnrealEd must be forgotten for good. Mappers must use latest 469 version.

I guess we now need people to convert things back to 436.

The same could be said for Unreal maps Ugold.

I really cannot say why this happens, I make all the sounds using the same process. I am sorry there are problems with it, though I have not encountered them myself offline or on.

[Red_Fist]

Not sure, but are people putting sounds in that ,,footstep,,sound ?. I found the ones that had them in an Unreal gold map I am redoing for UT436, if I EVER get it finished.
It didn't make it crash but could see in the log, it might have crashed while playing for a while it seemed.
So I had to redo the texture and remove the old ones from everything, then just used a MyLevel texture with a new name, so it has the same stuff in it from the original map.

Gave it a run, think the starting area is a poor "hangar" as too much traffic makes it hard to get out of there in vehicles without resorting to a gridlock.

Map is heavily packed which makes for a good fight, though I think it might be a bit too much with XV in there. The log was confusing (see attached) but I think it simply overloaded.

The "green square" as learned from previous edits of yours indicates the Map-End, but it appeared to be centered on a Skaarj as it kept moving.

I'd be real interested in trying this again if all the XV were removed.

It point to one random monster. Or mh end if zero monsters.
Help find all monsters or end if all monsters killed.

I not support pre-469 versions. Like 436. It playable, but quality of this play is not my concern.
Try run map on latest 469 patch.
