Sounds

yount19 · 03-19-2020, 01:48 PM

I placed a Harry Caray 7th inning stretch sound into the Cubs 'PS' folder in the 'sounds' section of the 'Edit Ballpark' feature and it does not play during the 7th inning stretch during the Cubs home games... It is an mp3 formatted file that I also changed to the .occ file that are found in the sounds file of the game and I don't hear the song...

What am I doing wrong?

The game can read OGG or WAV files. You need to be sure the file is actually saved in one of those formats. You can use a free tool like Audacity to convert sound files.

It has to be either a wav file or ogg. Renaming the extension doesn't change the format of the sound file (just in case that's what you did), you have to actually convert the audio file.

Yount19 what i use is audacity works like a charm make sure when you make a file it is the same name as the file you are replacing and also if you are putting them in a ballpark folder ect.. wrigley_field it will work

Thanks for the responses guys...
I was going to use files that I had downloaded for MLB the Show but I noticed that the Harry Caray version of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' was cut short... I will try to find a full version..

Now that I'm older, I don't like the Cubs (Brewers fan) but I am replaying the 1987 season and I really liked watching the Cubs games on WGN when I was a kid... I also enjoyed Harry doing his thing for the 7th inning stretch and I would like to get sounds like that from the 80's for the nostalgia of replaying seasons from that era...
