FAQ: Creating custom connectingsounds
FiReWall
Thanks to the new initiative concerning donations,
it's now possible to have your own custom connecting sound on the server!

Connecting sounds are being made by FiReWall but you can also try yourself to make your
future connecting sound by following this mini-tutorial!

1. Make your € 10.00 donation
2. Obtain sound files that you wish to use (wav or mp3). Make sure it's high quality!
3. Convert these sound files to the correct format,
This format is: 16 Bit 22Khz Mono - For greeting messages.

To convert these files you will need to acquire an audio converter application, the windows sound recorder does allow you to save to this format but I do not believe that it is able to open .mp3 files.
A popular and free sound editing program called "Audiacity" (search for that at Google).
This program will let you import any audio file, then set the sample rate to 22khz (22050),
then set the sample format to 16bit and finally set the track to MONO
(all these settings should be available on the track and not in the main menu).


4. Select your 20 second fragment and export the file as a .wav
5. Send the file ZIPPED to firewall[at]belgium-fraggers.com
6. Send FiReWall a private message on the website including your custom connecting message and notification of the send ZIPFILE including the custom connecting sound

Example custom connecting message: Please welcome the Magnificent .Be|Seven (Full administrator)

6. FiReWall will verify the filesize, fragment lenght and quality before uploading it to the server.

Enjoy your custom connection sound and thank you for supporting the Belgium Fraggers community!

Yours sincerely,

FiReWall
