	This tutorial explains how to encode soundfiles for World at War. This CoD title does not support MP3, but different types of WAVE: uncompressed PCM, xWMA, ADPCM and WAVEbext. They all need a proprietary data block, called PRIV chunk. You can create it with the modtools' MODSound.exe as described below.		This tutorial explains how to encode soundfiles for World at War.

			MODSound.exe choses xWMA or ADPCM compression automatically. It will encode sounds from <code>raw\sound\stream\</code> with ADPCM, as xWMA streaming isn't supported by the engine. So don't try to use an xWMA encoded wav as streamed music track, it will not work!

 Sound encoding won't work if there are any spaces in the folder paths, special characters might also cause problems. As the default installation path of the game contains spaces and renaming the directories would potentially break the game, I suggest to set up a new folder structure for sound conversion.
-Create a folder on any drive and in subfolders you want, but with '''no spaces''' in path! For instance <code>D:\Games\ModSound\</code> (will be refered to as mod dir)
