How to strip WAVs out of a map

I'm looking to convert all my WAVs into OGG to reduce file size. Unfortunately I use WINMPQ so I can no longer delete sound files via the sound editor in SCMDRAFT.

Deleting the WAVs in WINMPQ does not actually delete them out of the map.

Anyone got any solutions on how to do this?

I see you !

Can't you kill the wavs using winMPQ, add the new ogg files, and use the string editor to edit the sound filename paths? (Since the strings will stick around as long a trigger references them)

Deleting WAVs via winMPQ doesn't actually delete them (filesize stays the same which means they are still in there somewhere).

I see you !

You probably need to run an optimize or compact or similar command in winmpq to reduce the filesize.

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
