Tools to create the FL-Voices

Hello all!
My problem is the following. For MP I would like to create new pilot voices. These voices are stored in a UTF-file and controlled by a INI-file. But the format used for this voices is strange. The audio files for the pilots are WAV-Data with MP3-Codec. So now I get it working with normal WAV-Data, but a 5 second long message has a size of 125 KB. A comparable FL message has with this length a size of 20 KB.
Does anyone out there know if there is a Share- or Freeware utility which is able to create the FL original codec?

Hi burzelmann!

This codec is not a special FL one, but just as you said a wave file, which is encoded in mp3 but still treated as a wave file (See my mod Monkey Universe for several files, which are in this format as well).
You can create these files with several audio programs. I'm using a non-freeware program, but I'm quite sure that the following free program should be able to do this. The music is compressed in mp3, but treated as wave. SO here is the program:

Wavepad

Good luck and keep going! Great work with RtE if I'm right

I thought gestoord was the Monkey Universe mod maker, are you a fraud?

Hi Blaster!

gestoord is the server operator of Monkey Universe and the Admin of the Monkey Universe server (together with his friend Ice). However the mod so far (this means the current version 1.85) was coded by me.
I'm the leader of the Monkey Universe Modding Team and up to version 1.85 the whole mod is my work (except of some audio tracks, which were done by gestoord). However, as I had some serious problems in RL, I'm currently taking a break from modding and the next version of Monkey Universe is developed by some other modders and gestoord.
So, I'm not a fraud, but just the mod maker behind Monkey Universe. Of course I might not be as well known as gestoord, but I think some people here know me as a modder with some knowledge about any part of FL editing except of moddeling and texturing (this is the only part, which I'm a total noob at).
Hope you like the mod!
