hey daymos loving ur work man ive sent u loads of emails but no reply dude.it was about crowd chants someone told me its not possible on xbox version is that true.cheers
Hey mate u good.
Sorry if I havent replied, ive not been online properly for a little while now and ive also been very busy..
Chants..
On the ps3 you can import 5 chants (i think) into the game and the game plays these chants over and over again..
Now ive never seen this in action but from what I understand the chant itself is limited to a certain size and length.
The 360 does not work like this.
the is no chant option.. BUT!!!!!!!!!
I have found a way to do it..
Basically on the 360 you play the chants in the background like an audio cd.. (this is an advantage with the 360 because there is no limit as to how many chants you have)
The crowd dont react to whats going on on screen but many times it coincidentally does..
I use Arsenal and many times I take a shot with V persie and the crowd happen to start singing.. (pure coincidence) or they start singing Diabys song etc..
######HOW IVE DONE IT############
I have approx 30 team specific chants per team plus another 40 generic chants that any team could use and ive edited each one to be long enough to sound realistic..
for instance.. the chant song "you dont know what your doing" would be said by a crowd 4, 5 or 6 times etc before it fades out
The chant file I have only says it once.. so not very realistic..
So what I had to do was edit the audio wave file and now I have it looped to repeat for 5 or 6 times etc before fading out.. Now it sounds realistic.
I have to do this to all the chants making sure that it all sounds smooth with no audio clipping etc..
Then I have to put a blank space at the end for a few seconds or so... (Reason is to put a space after the chant before the next one starts playing)
To help solve this problem i have also created many blank audio files for 20 seconds or so..
When these files play it will create a nice silence until the next chant plays..
Remember the game audio will be playing all the time so you will still hear the in game crowd and the commentators.
the important thing is no not let my chants sound constant with no rest period.. (crowds get tired too and need a breather before the next song lol)
Now when I finish each team I make a folder and put the clubs specific chants, the generic chants and also the silent tracks into a usb stick in folders for instance..
Folder - Arsenal
Folder - Aston Villa
Foder - Chelsea
etc
So once you have all the chants on the usb stick.. before the game you just choose the team chants you want to listen too
press play then select random..
This will now play all the chants randomly and while your playing the game and the atmosphere is great.
#########Problem..#############
RANDOM is crap.. its not really random..
Ipod, mp3, home sterios.. Random is a misleading word..
if its random then how come I know whats coming next..??
So if you select random or not you dont get the files shuffled as you woud like to..
Solution ..
just start the chants on track 2 then press random or track 3 for example..
this will give you better results.. either way you dont have to go deep so just press play..
When you start to learn the order you will probably see what im saying..
#########Problem 2..################
I thought I finished the editing and I copied all the generic files (40 plus) into each and every club folder
only to find that the blank space after all of them is not long enough.. and because random dosent shuffle the chants correctly its almost like the crowd sing song after song without no reat..
I now have to sort that out.. 30 teams times 40 chants.. do the math..
my internet is back this week (Virgin 50mb)

so i hope to upload some stuff in a week or so..
Cool
