Changing Modes

From the Modes menu, select the mode that you wish to use. Youre choices are: Browser and Favorites. Browser is the default mode the first time WAV Wars is started. The mode currently being used will be saved when you exit WAV Wars.


Favorites Mode

This mode allows you to configure your 20 favorite WAV files for quick access. Use the Setup option of the Files menu to configure the buttons. Once the buttons have been configured, simply click the button to play the WAV file.


Browser Mode

This mode allows you to navigate through your directories and see more WAVs than is possible through Favorites Mode. To play a WAV, double-click it in the filenames box.

You can use this mode to modify your Favorites.


Setup/Modify Favorites (Favorites Mode)

1. Select "Setup" from the File menu to define which WAV files are assigned to the buttons in Favorites Mode.

2. Once you are in Setup, use the arrows to select the button number to configure (Buttons are laid-out top to bottom, left side is 1-10, right side is 11-20. They are not numbered, however.).

3. Click the "..." button to display the file selection box and select a file.

4. Enter a description in the "Description" box.

When all desired buttons are configured, select "Ok" to exit setup.

Your Favorites will be saved automatically when you exit WAV Wars.


Setup/Modify Favorites (Browser Mode)

1. Use the Drive, Directory, and File boxes to navigate to the desired directory.

2. To add a WAV to your Favorites (or replace an existing Favorite): After highlighting the desired WAV, select "Send to Favorites" on the "File" menu or press CTRL-S.

3. A dialog box will appear. Select the WAV to replace and enter a new description, then click "Ok".

When you go back to Favorites Mode, the new WAV will be on the button you chose to configure.

Your Favorites will be saved automatically when you exit WAV Wars.


Playing WAVs (Favorites Mode)

Click the button containing the description of the WAV you want to play. Or you can use the TAB key to select the desired button and then press ENTER.

(Buttons with --- on them have not been configured yet.)


Playing WAVs (Browser Mode)

Double-click the desired WAV in the filename box.


WAVs Do Not Play

Note- You must have a sound card correctly installed in your system for WAV Wars to work.

1. It used to, but not anymore. If the WAV has been moved to another directory since it was assigned to a button (Favorites Mode), it will not play. To correct: use Setup to re-configure the button with the correct path of the WAV file.

2. No WAVs Play. WAV Wars attempts to detect a sound card before fully loading the program. If for some reason it did not correctly determine your system configuration, WAVs may not play. To correct: See note above.

3. Other problems or (gasp!) bugs, please send email to the address in this help file.
