All music is in the Sounds_sfx pck. Sort by filesize after converting and the large files should mostly be music. That's how I found the music track I was after. :) Same. There are 4 music tracks in the language files (eng and ita). Either works as they are the same. Other than that, most are in SFX.

It was extracted from music1.vpp_pc to music4.vpp_pc from the PC (Steam) version of Saints Row 2. The xwb format appears "normal" except for a few things: Header: public string IdentifyingChars = "WBND"; public int Unknown44; public int Unknown42; // This is odd -- no idea what t...

I didn't know it existed because it got no hits on Google. I put it on the XBOX_XWB3#Compatible_Programs so more people will find it. However, it didn't work. All the files I'm having trouble with (the compressed lot) your tool dumps what I attached (a short, followed by compressed data) with a WMA ...

I don't think I'm going to get 1 million signatures by the end of the year.

There's an application (towav.exe) that attempts to convert XWB files to WAV. On one of the XWB files in SR2 (MUS MIX), it only manages to extract 8 files when there are 101. I finally figured out why: the other 93 appear to be compressed but I can't figure out what kind of compression it is (no hea...

I extracted 29,478 RIFF files out of block 2 and all successfully converted to OGG with ww2ogg.exe. Most of the music is in the sfx file. Edit: Extracted 3,178 RIFF files out of block 2 (BKHD) of sounds_eng.pck and had a listen to 6 of them: two were a fire crackling, two were a horses galloping (di...

Oh, right, there are some RIFFs in block 1. I think that's what I'll try to do: extract all RIFFs from both blocks.

It is block 1 that has all the BKHD, DIDX, HIRC, STMG, DATA, etc. subtypes. So block 1 apparently contains a sort of compiled script and block 2 contains the audio? I wouldn't say block 1 isn't interesting because it is. I never seen a file format that uses names like that to define what is followin...

That would unpack the file but it wouldn't do anything about all the subtypes I listed. I'll look at the app you mentioned to see if it does... ww2ogg looks like it will only handle the RIFF WAVE files which is useful but, from the looks of it, that is only like 2% of the PAK files. There's a whole ...

I don't see any bin files in my install of Metro 2033. Are you talking the Xbox 360 or PS3 version?

All those four-letter combos I posted are known WWise identifiers? If so, is there already a program to handle them?

VFS0, VFS1, UPK0, UPK1, or VFI?

No, but if you upload say the first 5 or 10 megs of it, I could take a quick look at it. I'll document it myself then. :D Edit: It uses URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) and practically all offsets are relative. This is going to be a pain. :( Oh, and Assassin's Creed II was coded by Ubisoft Montr...

Do you know if anything exists to handle .pck format?

Unpacking archives and conversion of some datafiles (only textures for ac2, more types of files for ac1) How confident are you that you got it 100% unpacked? Do you think there's other data unextracted there? It's probably DataPC_StreamedSounds.forge Assassin's Creed II unfortunately doesn't have t...
