No, no. It's Audacity, for some reason I can't change the bitrate all of the sudden.

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
maybe you need to convert them to wav first, as they are mp3 files I sent you

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
Yeah, I don't know, this is so odd, I could have sworn I could change the bit rate, I'll try it tomorrow, 3:22 am here.
I definitely know I got it to work earlier today though, no idea what the problem is right now.
Edit: here we go, knew I shoulda used Adobe Audition from the start.
22050hz, 16bit = 356kbps, for wavs. Also switched from stereo to mono.
Exported without a drop in quality, unlike Audacity, works in game.
I'll edit your files real quick.
Edit:
Here you go
Really happy that I got a way of doing it without loss, for the effects, Audacity killed the quality.
Send me any .mp3's you want converted!
P.S. I only tested one file, but I'm sure the others work too.

Hey thanks for that
[hr]
I have one more for you. This will be for the sonic weapons in the game, I will be using the geonosiss sonic blaster sound for them.

Thanks, thats great

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
Always happy to help.
By the way, might want to look into this, I found it in the ANH wiki.
I was document them myself, but I'm glad someone else beat me to it. Thought I'd post it, especially since you mentioned volume in the other thread.

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
Haha, sorry. It's the hex values inside the .snd files, forgot to specify, got distracted.
Basically:
I haven't tested it, but according to the documentation, the 3F hex I highlighted in the screenshot, would control the volume of that sound in game.
3F= 63, so I'd assume 63% volume
To change it to 100, you'd need to change 3F to 64, which is 100 in hex.
I'll need to check multiple .snd files to see if those really control volume or not, and if the one before it, the '80', controls the bitrate (Actually, weird, the NGE file of the example has the bitrate, supposedly, at 128, while the one the guy from ANH posted about, used 168.)
I'll investigate in the next few days.

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
I was researching snd files, saw some familiar names, and thought that I would point out that the provided breakdown is slightly incorrect. SND files can contain a list of sounds. The 4 bytes prior to the initial wav path is a list size.Timbab said:

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
I don't have complete notes, just a somewhat renewed morbid curiosity with file formats. The lack of useful tools for SWG is pretty appalling at this point. We had tools to open the tre files and view in 2003, and everything else seems to be a new iteration of the original tools. I'll post if/when I figure out the actual struct. just wanted to point out that the assumptions in the ANH breakdown are at least partially wrong, if not mostly.Timbab said:
RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
Yeah I've noticed errors too.
I'm building a fairly simple tool to edit/create new files based on existing file templates.
So any documentation/notes that you have, let me know.
Still got a few little kinks to iron out, but I'll most likely post a preview soon, maybe tonight, idk yet.

RE: [Help] Problems with sound editing
I'd like to update that the ANH documentation I posted on the previous page is all sorts of wrong.
At that point I didn't really understand what a float was and didn't see the obvious.
You're correct Kyle, the 4 byte in front of the file name is an integer of how many files are linked inside the .SND. I've looked at a bunch of .SND files, some can contain upwards of 20 files. Not sure what all the other values below the file names are, but I've mapped them all except for 5 4 bytes, couldn't find a reference if they're floats, ints, booleans, shorts, etc. Every .SND I've opened had them as nul.
