Did anyone else notice how weird some of the sound effects in Ragnarok sound? Specifically some of the Bandit and Dvergr sounds. It's like instead of originating from the monsters, they play like directly into you, if you get my meaning? They are too loud and don't seem to have any direction that they are coming from. Could this be fixed somehow, save for just deleting the sounds?

The game not reading ARCs should only concern custom maps, but I think you try to overwrite a game archive instead?

Yes, this is true.

I think I found out what the problem could be. ARC Encryptor includes the folder which the files are packed from into the structure of the arc file. Example:

1. unpack original Sounds.arc into a folder called Test. The folders containing the sound files appear there.
2. repack the files from folder Test into a new arc file Testsounds.
3. unpack the file Testsounds into folder Test2. The file structure is now Test2/Test/folders with sound files.

I also tried to name the folder that the files are in as Sounds, this had no effect.

Am I missing something really obvious here or is the ARC Encryptor indeed at fault? How to get around this?
