Doublepulse 298 Posted December 13, 2013 They must be crazy to remove "Running down a Dream", that is like one of the best songs that play when you get in a helicopter. It goes well with the sound of the helicopter. In my opinion, the mobile version has got some good things and bad things about it. It is as the developers for Wardrum Studios were working on the port while they were drunk or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buzbegone 17 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) The BLANKS are left in place, so if we DO get edit abilities, we can easily restore them. I'd be happy to transfer my PC files and test it out. It's just a matter of converting the .ogg files to .mp3 and I've got one that mass converts. Only problem is, my iPad isn't jailbroken so I don't know how to add the files to it and my iPhone (which is jailbroken) constantly crashes. Would anyone with a moddable device capable of adding files be willing to try it out? Edited December 14, 2013 by buzbegone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is the PS2's audio better than the PC? 32kHz > 24kHz, right? Converting an 32kHz ogg to an mp3 couldn't lose that much quality in the process. Especially if you're converting with the same Hz output. I'm really not concerned about optimum quality, I'm just after adding the old songs back in.

nkjellman 1,665 Posted December 15, 2013 Indeed the updated engine got loads of more things to do with different colors being rendered in screen rather than PC version. You know, nine years since the release, and phones are almost as powerful as the PC's used to be back in the day. Anyways, gibberish gibberish gibberish, I don't think most people will actually benefit from those speculated "high quality textures/models", since most of them, at least on iOS-version, are pretty much the same as on PC-version. You said it ''most people'' and not everyone.And yes the texture may be the same,but the color of the screen/sky is just..amazing.What i meant in my previous post what if someone can bring it to pc,it will be easy enough... Same textures, but with detail overlays. Just like on VC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buzbegone 17 Posted December 15, 2013 Think from their angle. Is it really worth adding audio quality that most of us won't pick up on? Listening to those songs you had side by side really required me to listen for a difference and you'd only get the full quality with stereo speakers. Yes, it was lazy of them to not take the time they could've but stereo quality for a mono speaker is just a waste of time for anyone looking to cover up their f*ckup.

Yes, it was lazy of them to not take the time they could've but stereo quality for a mono speaker is just a waste of time for anyone looking to cover up their f*ckup. But, most phones these days have 3.5'' Standard Jacks which work with most headphones and output to Y cables to plug into speakers, etc, San Andreas Mobile on ANYTHING beyond sh*tty phone speakers is going to sound terrible. If you couldn't tell the difference in those sound clips I provided, ...you really need better hearing. And it's not just the fact that they wanted to compress it, I provided a file that was near the exact same size, in a better codec, OGG, which San Andreas supported on PC, and I was able to keep it in Stereo and still sound better. It's the fact that they pretty much stripped out the better Codec, to add in support for an outdated codec which is terrible at lower bitrates, and THEN converted from the already lossy PC OGG files (which you should never do with audio if you want to be taken seriously). Not to mention MP3 at such low bitrates and rushed conversion means you can end up with conversion stutter which HAS happened with a handful of tracks here, and downcoverting the frequency range from 32KHz to 22.05KHz. I'm not questioning the fact that they needed to be smaller, but I'm questioning the TERRIBLE job in doing so, I'm not even a professional audio engineer and yet it took me less than one afternoon to find a better method to use! If they needed low bitrates and low frequency, then there's ALREADY a mastered version around in ADPCM Format, and that's the PS2 version, so by converting from that one, which is already designed for that frequency range and by using the OGG codec which the damn game supported anyway, they could have kept both Stereo AND Better sound quality for barely a difference in size! It's a rubbish excuse to sit there and say, oh, I doubt most people would notice it through their sh*tty phone speakers, because the METHOD this company that were PAID to port the game, they completely screwed up the audio by using the wrong methods that a lot of amateurs would do. Again, the trade off with the INCREASE in size for Stereo Music in 24KHz OGG would be balanced out because funny enough, 24KHz OGG for most cutscenes and Talk Radio produces a LOWER file size than the MP3's they have here. It's just illogical, messy, and rushed. edit: I swear each time I explain it, the more and more I just question what the hell were War Drum thinking. See, additional bit of info for you, They used a VBR scale for MP3, 40kbps - 56kbps, now, they converted from the PC version, OGG's at VBR 128kbps Ave., Now, why do I keep bringing up the PS2 version and the fact that it uses a form of PCM? Well, using VBR works best with a PCM source, it calculates things properly. Using VBR when converting from an already converted file, it starts to brings in inaccuracies, and then pads the file to compensate by using a larger bitrate for certain areas because it thinks it needs to when really reading from lossy and writing back to lossy it's just picking up the artifacts of compression. So, yeah, in a daft way, it would have also slightly increased the file size on some tracks, whilst still losing quality. And not to forget that MP3, as a codec, is just terrible and outdated for lower bitrates, most people wouldn't go under 128kbps MP3 for Music as it just becomes unaccepatble, 64kbps is the limit that MP3 is suppose to have for music, anything lower was designed for talk only. Not to completely crap on MP3, it's great in the high bitrates, using -V0 VBR 320kbps for Music it does a damn good job, but for lower bitrates, it's terrible, WMA is better, AAC/MP4/M4A is better and of course, OGG is better, which again swings back round to the initial point that the game already supported OGG. And as far as I'm aware, most Android devices support OGG as do most phones in general, iTunes blocks the format out but apps can include it to be used.
