looks like it is used to rename the files
pegperegogaucho
nothing of use
pixeltheretro
_damn_
pegperegogaucho
yeah, OSome has a habit of forgetting to delete stuff
pegperegogaucho
like this :TotalKappa:
pegperegogaucho
You said that you know how the audio files work for XXL1, what exactly do you know?
pegperegogaucho
And are you talking about the music, or the dubs? :pausechamp:
pixeltheretro
Well they're standard renderware audio banks
pixeltheretro
And that goes for both dubs and music
pixeltheretro
So essentially I know about them enough to know that at least porting them to other ports _aside from XXL2 on PSP_ won't be much of an issue
pixeltheretro
and even if there were any I'm pretty sure they're tools for them thx to GTA modding scene
pegperegogaucho
Yeah, XXL 1 to OG all use the same audio system, so you could just replace the files :PogClappa:
pegperegogaucho
GTA didnt use renderware audio i think
pegperegogaucho
I was already able to import music and play it in-game, but I still need to look into the dubs as they are different from the music files. They take advantage of sub streams and also seem to have padding after audio chunks, hence a lower bitrate
pixeltheretro
I think they used streams and segments to just have a better organization in the files. I have another RenderWare game that uses .rws and oh boy
pixeltheretro
don't know who was responsible for organization but they probably fired that guy
pegperegogaucho
Well I guess there are multiple reasons for sub streams
pegperegogaucho
Like song variations
pegperegogaucho
Or music layers
pegperegogaucho
But in XXL it used for entire dialogues, so for example the final cutscene with Cesar would be one stream, which has the separate dialogues divided into sub streams
