Sound formats

Hi, I've been having some trouble with sound formats. I can record in my own sounds, but when saved in 22k 16 bit mono format, Torque crashes when trying to use them.
I have found a workaround however. If I open one of Torque's sounds in Creative Wavestudio and copy my recorded sound on top of that one, then resave to a different name, it works =)
This leads me to believe that there is either a special format that is required, or there is a bug hiding somewhere.
Any help?
Thanks!

PS This happens with the 1.1 release and the HEAD release that I got tonight. Thanks again!

There was a bug in the wav loader that didn't handle some poorly formated wave headers. If you get the latest build from CVS it will load them fine.--Rick

Unfortunately, the new HEAD does not integrate well with my version. Did anything major change?
I haven't had a chance to do anything major with it yet (to see if I can get it to work.) It compiles fine, but when I start the app my cursor is not there (It is replaced by 2 red dots that look like the dots when editing the terrain). If I try to access the console, or press a button to go on to the next menu, I get an error saying that it cannot build the bitmap array or something of the like.
Anyway, I can compile and run the HEAD fine if it is not an upgrade of my code. I absolutely love the new editor. It is *so* much nicer to work with. =)
Thanks for the reply Rick.

Never mind that. Had to do some manual murging of the scripts, and a re-build all. That took care of all of my problems.Again, Excellent job on the new editor!!!

I have a question concerning sound. Will the Torque be supporting the Ogg Vorbis codec (Vorbis)developed by Xiphophorus Software? I thought it was pretty snazzy of Bohemia Interactive Studios to integrate it in Operation Flashpoint. Pretty small files while still maintaining clarity. Thanks.--Sty

I'm going to be adding Ogg Vorbis support to my game at some point, though I'm not sure when.

What was used to create the sound fx that come with the sdk? Or are those merely from tribes 2?
Thanks!
