Currently, turning .wav files into a format understood by SCUNK is a time consuming endeavor that is difficult to automate.
Audio engineers essentially need to manually convert their higher quality WAV recordings to RAW 8 bit mono before
raw2voc
converts them into .voc files compatible with the engine.wav2voc
will make this a less tiresome process, as it will be able to convert 16 or 24 bit .wav files to 8 bit, single channel .voc files directly.This is the first step towards a more streamlined audio toolset and this PR will merely make
wav2voc
an optional utility built as part ofmake utils
.A future PR will properly integrate
wav2voc
into the build pipeline so that .wav files can be stored in a project'ssounds/
folder and get compiled into separate .soun files and, ultimately, assembled into the final .sou.Note that this will create a dependency on libsndfile
