About .adw files.

These files are an enigma. Honestly I think they are .wav files renamed, like Resident Evil 5s .sngw files. Although renaming a .WAv to a .Adw only results in silence. Any thoughts or knowledge about any possible codec of these files?

You can't use rad tools to convert the wav to the adw format?

Nov 5, 2010 13:08:58 GMT -5 planb0902 said:

not the issue, the issue here is that if any sound file is replaced, like I replaced PressStartDR2.adw with another adw file and this removed ALL background music, there must be some sort of script that can be disabled to allow the game to freely read music.

Can't mod music?

Oct 19, 2010 13:19:36 GMT -5 @grub said:

Tried replacing the militiamen song with Gone Guru as an experiment. Rebuilt the .big and (making a copy of the original) placed the new one in the folder with the proper name.

Started up the game --- and all the music was gone. Put the original .big back, music returns.

Now, goldwave thought the .adw file for the song was a 4-bit, 48000khz ADPCM wav file, so I saved it as that (with the .adw extension intact.) Is it possible that there's just some kind of file header that it didn't pick up on that screwed up the game's audio system when I made the modification?

Does goldwave actually support adw format? Or did you simply change the file's extension?

Oct 19, 2010 16:17:13 GMT -5 @grub said:

It seemed to know what it was. I just double clicked on the original .adw file, and it recognized the thing, though it said it had a problem with "checks."

VLC media player can play the files... For replacements I usually just rename the sound file I wanna replace with the correct extension.
Best regards, Adejam.

Any way to play .sfx / .adw?

Dec 31, 2010 12:26:44 GMT -5 moloko said:

So, when I messed around with the Rebecca sounds I came across these file formats. From the looks and the results I got, .adw seem to be the main sound files whereas the .sfx (though implying they were, as for SoundFX) seem to control the playing of .adw, e.g. choosing if the grunt 1, 2 or 3 is played.

But since I can't open the files, I can't know for sure and as I want to delve deeper into that, e.g. removing some sound files so we can have an all female sound pack, excluding the cutscenes of course, I was wondering if anyone around here knows of a tool that can open any of these files. My quick search on Google didn't turn up much, but in case I oversaw an obvious option, I apologize.

Great! I'm guessing all the people who made female character models to replace Chuck are thanking you, you pretty much complete their work!

Now, in a small part of the game, Rebbeca appears in actual gameplay, I don't remember in which case, but if you completed the game, you saw it. It's one of the first cases, you have to follow her somewhere. In that part of the game, when she is atacked or shoots or moves through zombies, does she make any kind of noises? Because if she does, that means there's files with them, and it would be possible to replace them just like you did with the twins. And that would help the ones who made Rebbeca's model even further.
If she does make any noises, could you do the same you did with the twin's but with Rebbeca?

Fixing up the Female Model Swaps

Posted by Wizard on Oct 11, 2010, 9:34am
I've gotten many complaints about issues with the female model swaps.

I've looked ALL over the Audio folder trying to find Chuck's Grunts" so I could replace them with female ones, so our female model swaps don't sound like Trannys...

halfblindratt on Oct 12, 2010, 3:39am
About the "Grunts", it's sorta strange, I opened the chuck.big file in audio and played the .adw files with VLC player, most of them played, not all, but it seemed like it had all of chucks audio.
So I went ahead and replaced one little line with another sound.. = Now most of ´Chucks sounds are disabled, Cutscenes still have his voice and the lovely "battlegrunts" are there, but all his actual selftalking, like when changing clothes is gone, nomore "Im a big boy" or "This really isn't my size".
Maybe it's simply the ADW-files copyprotection, but they have certainly made it hard giving Chuck a more feminent sound..
Even If the sounds would work, there's like hundreds of them to be replaced, and not all of them were playable, to listen to what you are replacing.

More savable survivors!

The information on survivors are located in Datafile.big > Items.txt. Here some example code, this one is for Archie, from Case Zero:
…
AudioShoeType = "0"
Dettermines the footprint sound effects.

SubmitsSurvivorCall = "true"
Detemines whether or not the survivor emits "Is someone there" sound files on the feild before recruitment

SubmitsSurvivorHelp = "false"
Detemines whether or not the survivor emits "HELP!!!" sound files on the feild before recruitment

VoiceType = "106"
Determines the voice files used.

Methodology

Searched all forum threads for the word "sound", last result, #27 on Oct 6, 2010, 7:00am.

Also used some information I have learned myself, posted on Mod:Debug_Mode#Options_available

If you have information to add, add i below and I will incorporate it here.

[moloko]

As for the swapping, it worked for me, see the Rebecca thread. What I did was basically just list all the .adw files and then renamed them one by one so they fitted in the Chuck sound file. I re-used what few sounds were available, like "light effort" for the battle grunts and so on, which resulted in almost all sounds replaced with female ones, except for the breaking weapons notation and the vomitting.

I only looked in the fx_main.big but I think it held all the sounds that are played by Chuck except for the cutscenes of course. But good to know that VLC can play them, maybe now I'm able to find out which sounds are played when building weapons, etc.

Btw, did you delete my thread asking what .adw does? Sorry for being blind not seeing that this was posted here already but I was kinda tired.

//Update: Apparently the Media Player Classic can also play .adw, which might be the more comfortable choice to some as it's only 3MB and doesn't require installation.

//Update2: I seem to have found the sounds for weapon breaking, which would be 25797.adw and 25798.adw found in chuck.big in data/audio. Seems like there's also the sounds for changing dresses and stuff. I'll try to replace them with void files the make the sounds all female, see if it works.

//Yet another update: I now found the Rebecca sound files, they are located in charvocals.big running under numbers 287xx.

//I extracted all notable Rebecca sounds and renamed then accordingly. I will now try to replace all Chuck sounds, which seems doable now. I also uploaded the vocals in case anyone needs female sounds to mess with: rapidshare.com/files/440246950/Rebecca_Vocals.zip

UPDATE:

Okay, I replaced all the sounds in the chuck.big and came across the same problem. Now all the sounds are simply muted and I don't know what causes this. The new .big is significantly smaller, maybe the game does a check on that. Still, if you only alter files in the fx_main.big you can replace the battlegrunts. As for the rest, I'll see into it though I don't know why it won't work.

[anno1404]

I want to do a section like this for all major topics, then sticky them. Anyone who wishes to help is welcome.

[moloko]

Okay, so I gave it another go and changed the values of pitch in the bigfile.xml, which didn't help.

I then replaced a single .adw with another one of exact the same size and the other sounds remained intact. So I suppose the filesize is noted somewhere or the total size of the .big is somewhat important.

UPDATE:

Well, you can open .sfx with the editor and it does nothing more but to show up some paths linked to sounds that are to be played.
Strangely these paths don't even exist, so I wonder if the files e.g. in fx_main.big actually have any use.
It looks like this: //Version=1.0
cSoundEffect NA
{
MixerCategory = "SubSFX"
PlaybackMode = "1"
cSfxTrack FireBurble1
{
Path = "C:\bcg\deadrising\audio\sfxSamples\Fire"
Sample = "FireBurble1.wav"
Volume = "0"
}

Some of them link to a folder named 16bit_48kHz so that might explain why the game crashes with another sound output. Yet I don't know if these links do anything or not. I might fuzz around with that later on but right now I'm too fed up with it to bother.

[Deleted]

What type of sound files are .adw?

[moloko]

They seem to be renamed .wav files. Some of the .sfx point to certain .wav files that are named like the .adw files so I guess it's just some other codec to make it run smoothly on Xbox or to encrypt them in some sort of way. They can be played with Media Player Classic or VLC nonetheless.

[thommoboy]

can we add this to the infinite mod anno i could try and figure it out?

[anno1404]

I have not tried any of this stuff, i am just posting what the community knows thus far.

From locked Dead Rising 2's Codec + adding custom soundtrack

Posted by planb0902 on Nov 7, 2010, 4:33pm

Ok, hours of research lead to discovering that this is Dead RIsing 2's Codec:

Microsoft ADPCM, 48,000 hz, 2 channels, and 528 kb/s

teh adw files are .WAVs, encoded with this codec, which is why a regular wav will not work. anyone who knows codec should definately try this out

[Deleted]

has anyone tried changing the Adw files to .bik, which is the file format used by Bink.

[anno1404]

I think I have and it didn't work. As there is a probably 20 to 1 ratio of dead rising 2 players who use these mods and actual modders, I strongly suggest testing these experiments out yourself, as we modders are overwhelmed and short on help.

[Deleted]

See if I can get my version going again first. I'm a little inclined not to touch anything again after this nightmare with the exe.

[Deleted]

Got one to add to audio. The game won't run if your speakers or headphones have a default format of more then 16-bit 44,100 Hz.

RENIKRILL

the .adw files are MS-ADPCM, with all of the necessary file-information included in the RIFF header. simply change the extensions to .wav, and they'll play in any half-decent player.
the .xwma files aren't xma, they're xwma (yes, there's a difference ). specifications for this [godforsaken] format, along with a command-line encoder/decoder, can be found here: "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee415832(VS.85).aspx" :twisted:

forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5419

I can testify to changing .adw to .wav and successfully hearing the sound fine.

Oh, and here's an xwma to wav converter.
www.mediafire.com/?ll233rljq8fuvr1

To use the file. Name the .xwma file to .wav, open the program, select the file you just renamed, select an output folder and give it a filename, click convert.

Ending Credits Converted:
www.mediafire.com/?pkgdo2idzlb90da

XWMA player:
www.din.or.jp/~ch3/xWMAPlay.zip

Just drag an XWMA file onto the player.


How to Encode to XWMA

Encoding to xWMA is pretty easy when you know how.

First you need to download the latest DirectX SDK.
www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3021d52b-514e-41d3-ad02-438a3ba730ba

Next you must install said DirectX SDK. Note down where you install it as you'll need it for later.

Then you have jump into you CMD. This is down but going into the start menu, and typing CMD in the search bar. You can pretty much press enter immediately.

Next with CMD open you have to navigate to
cd (Where you installed your SDK to, as noted above)\Utilities\bin\x86\

Enter XWMAENCODE

Next, pick a sound file of your choice, make sure its .wav, then enter the pathway to that song. Something like "ProgramFiles/User/Selvec/MyDocuments/Music/little_lionman.wav". Press space then enter an output folder, example "ProgramFiles/User/Selvec/MyDocuments/Output/little_lionman.xwma".

Press enter. The result should be something like


C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\Utilities\bin\x86>xwmae
ncode "C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\07-mumford_and_sons-little_lion_man.wav" "C:\Users\T
im\Desktop\New folder\little_lionman
Encoded 43582464 bytes of 44kPcm16BitStereo data to xWMA (bitrate 48000)


Try playing the file in the above noted XWMA player. If it works, its converted. Congrats.

[Deleted]

This warrants a new post! I got sound working! YES! WOO! Excuse me while I go dance for a bit!

Okay so here's how you do it. Basically you have your sound files, and I'll use your music.big file as an example. What you do is take some music you want, convert it to the same file type as the one you want to replace, be it .adw or .xwma. Then you use the same name as the file you are replacing, renaming the file of the music you want.

So say you want to replace one of the pause menu tracks with a song named lion.xwma. You'd rename the file to Mall_Music_Mallow.xwma, and remove the original.

Now this is where others ran into a road block. What you have to do is then pack the music.big and copy it. You have to then unpack the cache.big file in the audio folder, paste your music.big there and replace the current music.$$$ by changing music.big to music.$$$. Then pack up your cache file and your away singing!

I haven't figured out how to replace the audio files in the fx_blah blah.big files yet, but one step at a time.

Edit: If for some reason the above method doesn't work. Just delete the cache.big file. Its annoying anyway. That's what I ended up doing. Just make sure you back it up before doing anything.

[anno1404]

nice job.

From change soundtrack closed thread:

I'm sure its possible. Mayeb by replacing one of the WAV Files in the .BIG files directory? thoughts?

goose09

Looking into it right now. The sound files are all in .big so after unpacking them they are a collection of association files and XWma's. Might take some time to get it worked out completely though. Also, am going to need help getting the game to accept them

[Deleted]

Having trouble eliminating all the Mall Music. There always seems to be some. If I could find the controlling txt files it would be fine. Its either the .sfv files causing issues, or I'm simply missing something entirely. I'm gonna go with missing something entirely personally.

[anno1404]

Wow, that is a tough one. Where is the mall music controlled? I swear I saw it once before, but I see a lot of files and it is one big blur. I will have to think about it.

My first guess is sgraph.txt (you can get lost forever in that behemoth) but i don't know for sure. search for "music" in that 477,000 line monster.

Then search for "music" in the entire data folder, including inside of files (default with vista and windows 7)

[Deleted]

Yea looked through the data folder. There are some more audio files located in streamedassets.big. Like fx_safehouse.big has a few. Some of that bloody mall music as well. But I don't think it's effecting this.

Edit: Just looked through the sgraph. Nothing music, sound or otherwise related.


Update:

Anno1404 asked me to add the location of the DR1 music files I find. So here are the easy ones.


Audio
-------Music.big
------------------"MallMusic2_DR1.xwma"
------------------"MallMusic3_DR1.xwma"
------------------"MallMusic4_DR1.xwma"
------------------"MallMusic6_DR1.xwma"

Um what else.

Oh, I'll explain bigfile.xml

Bigfile is a list of all the files that are meant to be in a .big package. If your going to add any files, you must update this xml to reflect that.



Oh suppose what each folder has would also be useful.



Music.big

This folder is basically full music tracks. Not sounds or anything, but proper music. Like the music you hear in the pause menu, or that song in the mall. (I hate that mall music so much...). You can basically call this folder the games "soundtrack". If they had a Dead Rising 2 OST, this would be it.

Okay so this one is odd. This is basically voiceprints for things chuck says. But they aren't full sentences. They are small two word prints that I believe are meant to be strung together to form sentences. This way chuck can have many dynamic phrases. Thats a guess mind you.

If you have more specific info, would be good.

streamfx.big

streamfx.big has some effects used in dead rising 2. The streamfx package contains things like the sound effect used for the Start button, or the game over sound. Its also got this weird file called "14kHzLongLOOP". I highly suggest you DO NOT PLAY THIS FILE. It belts out a screeching sound that hurts your ears. I'd suggest you don't edit it.

Other Sound files:

As well as the sound files located in the audio file, some sound files can be found in the various .big packages located in the streamedassets.big file. I'm not entirely sure what these are for, but you can find things such as the background sounds used in the safehouse, and the sound effects found on various items. It also contains models and textures to.

I haven't yet found out how to edit this files to be used. There is usually a .adw file, such as "MallMusic.adw" and an .sfv file, such as "MallMusic.sfv". The adw and sfv are usually named the same. As such, I'm thinking you need to edit the sfv file if you edit the adw file. However, I have not found a way to open the sfv files, as its not the more common file types associated with that name.

I have something that might convert xWMA to wav files. However, I cannot get it to work despite these claims. Maybe cause I run windows 7 on a 64 bit system. I don't know. Maybe it'll work for you. If it does, please report your findings here.

Originally found on FF Shrine. So, thank them I guess - if it works for you.

Wow sev! that is incredible great find! Thank you so much for finding this and doing all this work! You said that you play different music when you play, would you want to make a tutorial? (Preferably on the wiki?) You could name it Mod:Sound. Awesome job, the community will be using this information for years in the future!

RE:
Anno1404 asked me to add the location of the DR1 music files I find. So here are the easy ones.

So cool! If you can only figure out what the paradise plaza and dead rising 1 food court files in datafile.big/items.txt do now!

RE:

Okay so this one is odd. This is basically voiceprints for things chuck says. But they aren't full sentences. They are small two word prints that I believe are meant to be strung together to form sentences. This way chuck can have many dynamic phrases. Thats a guess mind you.


Talk about a Flash of Genius! There is so much valuable material here. This is a little like the game text, a huge mess of jumbled sections, but at least each sentence is usually intact!

I can try it tonight, remind me.

This awesome find is from DENGARDE, who found the scrapped survivors and case zero survivors.

Quote:

It seems I was able to locate, rip, and convert the voice files from the PC version of DR2. I'm listening to them all, (God, Don and Paul have 1300 lines alone D:) and found a few interesting things.

For example, [[Wade Coopwood]] has about



twenty unused lines

I'm gonna post more vids as I cone across new stuff, so sit tight.

...

Speaking of the voice files though, man, Don and Paul easily have the most lines in the game. The files of them bickering alone go on for 34 minutes. And that only covers half of it, I haven't even counted the files of them alone.

NEW INFO REGARDING CASE ZERO SOUND:

Case Zero's audio files are all in .xma format, X360's compressed audio file. Also another variation of xwma. Xwma files are portable using an app I found on the Internet, so is it possible .xma can also be ported?

And I found an app to port voices long ago...damn, shoulda told you guys

But whatever.

[dengarde]

XWMA's can be played in Windows Media Player, no problem. Audacity can also read them, and port them to WMV's. (Or MP3's with the correct codecs.)

Yes, but .xma is likely not playable. It uses a form of X360 codec, which also hasn't been cracked yet.

I'll try throwing together a script to port them this weekend when I'm free.

[dengarde]

Yeah, I tried playing XMA in Windows Media Player AND Audacity. with no luck. Just thought I'd mention it though, since you said XMA's are a variation of XWMA.

They are, but they have an Xbox codec that does not let them play it. Xwma is a form of windows media audio, same goes for xma but it's more compressed.

In other news, it seems not many people here play TiR. So... here.

[Deleted]

It's funny because only a few of the lines they have are actually said online.

Regarding custom music, after adding my custom boss themes I noticed the themes didn't loop anymore. I tried meddling with the text files in the audio folder, but to no avail; deleting some lines in these files resulted in disabling music in that particular area.

EDIT: I noticed that the custom theme I have for when you are fighting the rednecks on the rooftops does loop properly. I tried copying the same scripts used for them into the other music files, but it ended up disabling the music in those areas.

Thanks for trying! I tell people to post their failures too, to help future modders figure out quickly what does not work, and to help them quicker find what does work.
