PayDay 2 sounds

[Vosvoy]

Hey mates,

So, to be brief, I found a way to convert IMA ADPCM sounds from " PayDay: The Heist " with this topic and tried to redo that technique on " PayDay 2 Beta " but, as you can guess, if I'm here it's because it's not working.
Indeed, when I drag the processed sound ( with ima_rejigger2 ) in Audacity ( with FFmpeg plugin installed ) nothing's happening and when I load it as a raw sound, the file is messed ( static ).
So, I give you a lil' sample if you think that can help you to understand what's the problem.

EDIT: Ok, it odly seems that Audacity don't support those sounds but no problem with VLC. But now, how can I convert them to propper .wav files?

EDIT2: Alright, never mind, I found my solution: I've got to convert it manually by VLC ( I've never did this before ). I'm a freaking idiot.

Well, I summarizes:

Step1: You got to download the PaydayBundleTool here and the ima_rejigger2 tool here.
Step2: Once you've extracted the files from .bundle archives, drag one by one each sounds you want into the ima_rejigger2 tool.
Step3: Next, import the processed sounds into VLC and convert them into propper .wav files ( lil' tutorial here ).

Now, if somebody have an idea to convert faster the sounds with ima_rejigger2 and VLC, I'm interested because draging one by one all the files is pretty long.

EDIT3: Well, I found it myself again ( at least for ima_rejigger2 processing ):

Code: Select all

for %%i in (*.wav) do "%CD%\ima_rejigger2.exe" %%i
pause

Got an idea for VLC step?

EDIT4: Found it... Here's the command line for the VLC step:

Code: Select all

for %%a in (*.wav) do cmd /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I dummy -vvv %%a --sout=#transcode{acodec=s16l}:standard{access=file,mux=wav,dst=%%a.wav} vlc://quit

Hem... Consider this a lil' tutorial...

Cordialy.

Hey mates I'm back for one last thing:

I just discover that the PaydayBundleFile tool was interpreting some .wav riff files as other extensions during extraction ( like .bin and .dds ).



So, I have an idea but I don't know if it's possible:

Extract all the files without any extension ( possible with the PaydayBundleTool ) and thanks to a lil' batch file or a succinct tool, give them the RIGHT extension relative to their header/offset.

like that stuff:

Code: Select all

for %%i in (*.unknown) do "%CD%\XXX.exe ( or BMS? )" %%i -o 0x03(?)
ren *.wav
del *.unknown

Note: The .wav riff files have the same offset ( 52 49 46 46 -> 0x03(?) )

Can you give me a clue?

PS: I've found something like that but I don't know how to do it ( I'm new on line commands and stuffs like that )... You will find a file in the attachment ( if you need it ).

Thanks in advance mates.

Files inside the bundles are found by two hashes each: one for the extension, another for path + name. So if you get filenames containing the extension hash after extracting, you can just batch rename them.

That's exactly what I want to do but I don't know how to do it. Can you give me a hand ( for the command line )? I would only rename .wav files that the tool wrongly extracted as .bin files ( as I said above, there is .dds files as .bin files too ).

09E2DB206ACBCB09 is the hash for "stream", which is their sound file extension.

Here's a fixed ext_info.txt: http://sktest.aruarose.com/ext_info.txt.

So, if I understood it right, I have to create a batch file that check the hash " 09E2DB206ACBCB09 " in extracted files. Subsequently, matched files will be renamed as .wav files. I am right?

Well, I'll got to do some research about hash checking with the command line, in that case, because I didn't know that was possible to do that.

EDIT: I don't get any help on internet for that... Please, do you know what is it ( command line )?
( I would to do a lil' video tutorial after this ( yeah, I have a lot of time to spare for the moment ) because, as a noob, I'd like to find a person to help me out when I need it. But I can't do it if I haven't all what I need for it ).

What's the format of your filenames? Are they similar to 3ad1623850608243.0.bd007e20bc2b61af?

The audioformat for the files I checked is ADPCM with 64 samples per block (they use wwise for audio), so it would be pretty simple to write a tool to convert them to PCM.

Yes, they are.

Oh really? Well, I'll not be able to create a tool for that because I suck about this.
