Modding rundown: Sound

[Teancum]

You have no idea how much you rock Winstrol!

By the way, Xbox and PC use the exact same HashIDs, so if anyone wants to build actual Hawkeye/Captain Marvel/Ronin/Black Widow we already know all of the HashIDs.  Now all we need is a Xbox->PC converter

*EDIT*

It creates ~115kb files, but doesn't actually rip the raw sound data.  The wav type (before the file name) should be changed from 6A to 01, but I can do that.  Also, .wav should be .xbadpcm.  I'll keep testing, and thank you for helping me out.

I can confirm the following from the newest upload:

Rogue's sounds now work
Professor X's still don't (Or maybe it is just his xtreme that doesn't work? I am not sure)
Toad's still don't (Or maybe it is just his xtreme that doesn't work? I am not sure)
X-Man's cmdattack sounds still don't play

I haven't tested Sabretooth2/Pyro2, but with the knowledge that it might be possible to set up the PSP characters' sounds in their own files they might not even be necessary

night_v.zss w/Blindside Blitz as new Xtreme sound.  The quality is slightly lower, but it's all I can do.

[BliZZ]

It sounds reasonable enough to me. Thanks.

are you using the same xbox x_voice you uploaded here?

(xbox) cable_v.zss sample (xml2splitx 5 x_voice.zss)

Do you have dlc doom's sound files? could upload it pls?

[Teancum]

I'll test it out more.  Maybe it was just Gambit and Colossus that didn't work right.  Actually, those are the only two that I need for the Xbox MUA mod.

I *think* I've got the DLC ZSS files somewhere, but the problem is that all of the sounds inside are stored in .XMA format, which only the Xbox 360 can read.

[BliZZ]

DLC sounds:

(You'll find they aren't usable, as they are in .XMA format)

Thanks

about the hashs,
I was looking for references into the game.exe
and i found how they are used for the character selection menu:

COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/AN_[character]
COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/BREAK_[character]

EDIT: Only the first seems to be right, the second didn't work.

[BliZZ]

I think that those sounds are a little more complicated, though. For instance, an_nightcrawler and break_nightcrawler will ONLY play when the character's name is "nightcrawler", not "nightcrawlerdlc". On the other hand, an_sabretooth and break_sabretooth will ONLY play when the hero's name is "sabretooth_hero", not when it is "sabretooth".

Unless you are suggesting entering in something like:
COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/AN_NIGHTCRAWLERDLC

will make the sounds play for "nightcrawlerdlc".

[Teancum]

@ Winstrol -- my fault.  I forgot I modified my x_voice before you made the program.  I'll get the original of my XML2 game and test it out tonight.

[Teancum]

Thanks

about the hashs,

and i found how they are used for the character selection menu:

COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/AN_[character]
COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/BREAK_[character]

EDIT: Only the first seems to be right, the second didn't work.

There are multiple breaks per character, so
COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/BREAK_CAPTAM1
COMMON/MENUS/CHARACTER/BREAK_CAPTAM2ALT
might be what would generate the hash

[Teancum]

Winstrol, the Xbox program works great!  The HashIDs are off by two though.  For instance, Colossus's Respaffirm sounds go in this order:

Respaffirm1
Respaffirm4
Respaffirm3
Respaffirm2

But play in this order:
Respaffirm3
Respaffirm2
sight1
sight2

I can confirm this is it because victory6 will play xtreme2, which is two after it.

If you could fix this the program would be perfect.  Thanks again.

[BliZZ]

Alright, in case anyone cares, Sabretooth2 works with the newest version.

Also, Teancum, could you test out that theory? For instance, edit all the hashes in night_m (which has 11 power sounds) with hashes generated for Hawkeye, and see if they play in-game when the file is named as hwkeye_m? I'd do it, but I'm not exactly sure how to :runaway:

[Teancum]

Yeah, I'll see if I can get to it soon.  It makes me nervous to mess with that.  Not due to the _m, but the sheer amount of VO.  But I'll see what I can do.  BTW, don't publicly release night_v.zss yet.  I *think* I can get Blindside Blitz in there with better quality.

*edit* -- Nevermind on the Nightcrawler vo.  It turned out the same.

*edit 2*
I have Hawkeye's HashIDs, it's true, but it's 1000x easier to use Idrinkdrpepper's algorythm.  Trouble is I couldn't get it to compile in Visual C++ 2005

You might just want to wait to see if winstrol will create a compiler/decompiler program for the .zsm files.  We have everything needed to create our own .zsm files from scratch, which can simultaneously solve any sound-mismatch problems. 

We don't quite have everything needed to create our own .zss files because (besides the xtreme), we don't know the full filename for the powers listed in [char]_v.  The way to find out is by finding a file (maybe a conversation or powerstyle or Game.exe?) that references the sounds in [char]_v.  Another way is by guess-and-check.  What this means is that you guess the filename, turn it into hash and then do a search on the [char]_v file for that hash.  If you find that hash in the header, then you've guessed correctly.

For a C++ Compiler I used Bloodshed's Dev-C++.
