Okay, does anybody know how to make a 2.4mb .mp3 sound file way smaller? :).
what file format, and what else can I do.

Nope. Stupid Warcraft doesn't take midis, which are an (amazing) 30-50 KB as opposed to the 1-2mb mp3s.
 
Which is why I suggest no songs should be used unless its a cinematic...It's just that it in a normal game since people wouldn't be paying enough attention to it to be worth its filesize.

why cant you play a simple song as a wav? I wanted to import a wc2 song...only nobody out there converted it to mp3 or wav. The only person who did...is in china, and you cant dl off his site...$@#!
 
I know they are huge, but i was just saying if it were small enough...I guess Mp3s are still smaller. What if the song was midi quality, mp3 format?
 
I have the Wc2 song as .bin, whatever that is. Anybody know how to convert that?
 
.bins are like Cabinet files or .zips, since they store the actual file inside that folder. You need a bin opener, just google it.
 
Actually I have a music editing program called "Adobe Audition" and it compressed my file to 4.45mb to 1.1mb so... I feel that is pretty good.

I've advertised my "switch" program a few times in these forums, you never saw any of my plugs?

1) its free

2) it does what you want it to do

3) I made it, so its a pretty awesome program :)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
