Re: Sound file question
There is no difference in game terms between WAV and MP3 - it is just that some folk's machines did not play the MP3 format properly, due to differences in installed codecs. That is why we went for the WAV format as the default in the sounds eventually - the Microsoft DirectPlay suite the sound engine uses seems to be very sensitive to the installation of non-standard codecs.
MP3 files are usually smaller than WAV, that is their main benefit.
