this toipc is to make people aware of how to decrease their games size ( MB ) as much as posible, without loosing noticable quality.
CONVERT YOUR SOUNDS TO A LOWER QUALITY
how?
any audio converting program can do this, but the one that i find most useful is WAVE PAD'S "SWITCH" APPLICATION
http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/masters.html
downloading this program will ask you if you want to install additional programs, there wil be one called "switch"
enable the box to install this, and click ok
opinions may vary from person to person, but i find setting your conversions to (>>> see picture 1 at the bottom of this post<<) these settings is the best option in most cases
the sound1 zipped folder containes a sample sound i use in my game, and as you can hear, even tho the quality has been drasticaly reduced, its virtualy un-noticable
on avrage, if you convert all of your sounds to this setting you can have atleast 65+ sounds ( at 1-3 sconds each) and it will only cost 2 MB of space!!
how to use the program
click encoder options, and select the setting i mentioned earlier
if you want to put the converted sounds somewhere, you can do this by clicking "output folder"
at the top, click the green "add files" button then convert at the bottom left, and thats all!
