[Solved] Bully Scholarship Edition (PC) Audio Files

[RENIKRILL]

create a windows batch (.bat) file and within it, paste the following:

Code: Select all

for %%i in (*.rstm) do test -o "%%i.wav" "%%i"

place this into the same folder as the rstm files, as well as the test.exe, then run the batch file

Man, you seem to have the solution for everything i'm having trouble with Anyway, I created the batch file and it works as it should, but by default, test.exe converts files with loops and a 10 second fade time. I could change these settings through command prompt with "-l 1.0" and "-f 0.0" but how do I incorporate that into the batch file? I tried multiple times and sadly failed

[RENIKRILL]

Code: Select all

for %%i in (*.rstm) do test -o "%%i.wav" -l 1.0 -f 0.0 "%%i"

[nkttis]

Code: Select all

for %%i in (*.rstm) do test -o "%%i.wav" -l 1.0 -f 0.0 "%%i"

The funny thing is, I actually used that exact same command in the batch file that I tried creating myself. It didn't work. When I copied and pasted yours, it worked. Strange. All in all, you've been a great help

I've converted all the music audio but in the Xact folder there are bunch of .SEA files.

I thought that .sea was a pretty standard video game audio format but trying to google 'sea audio' is a nightmare anyone know of a converter?

Attached COWBELL_01.SEA to the first post for analysis

Ok i had a short look at this file for you (thanks for the attachment, I don't currently have my copy of the game anywhere handy).
The file-extension is pretty much meaningless in most cases with game resource files, as the devs usually just give it something fitting, but not necessarily 'common'.
As is the case with these ".SEA" files, I'm very much certain they are specific to this game. My guess is that they literally stand for something along the lines of "scholarship edition audio", or similar.

To the business:
There's a lot of unessesary garbage at the beginning of these SEA sound-bank files. I've written a short & sweet quickbms script which works fine with the file you attached (and hopefully the rest of them, too). It will extract the corresponding 'xsb' & 'xwb' soundbanks/wavebanks (just like before). Also as before, simply run towav alongside the outputted files and it will produce the desired [playable] wave files.

Code: Select all

# for the Bully: Scholarship Edition (PC) '.SEA' files

get XSBOFF long
get XSBLEN long	# XWBOFF
get XWBLEN long	# EOF
get INITREFS long	

get XSBN basename
string XSBN += .xsb
get XWBN basename
string XWBN += .xwb

log XSBN XSBOFF XSBLEN
math XSBLEN += XSBOFF
log XWBN XSBLEN XWBLEN

I haven't spent practically any time on these forums (or others) lately as i've been bogged down with both uni & life in general, but in any case, let me know how things work out for you with these files and hopefully I can help you out further should any subsequent dramas arise.

peace

Worked perfectly for all of them 322.seas became 3652.wavs

Many thanks you are a King amongst Peasants


(NOTE: alot of the audio files (EG: 4 BikeShopAmbREV_8va22k.wav) are named '8va' or '2eq8va' these sounds are speeded up , looks like they use the bully sound engine itself to slow them down and equalise them ingame)
