Hit sounds

[Melissava]

How do we can change sounds of hits? Does anyone have a clue? :-)

Hum, if I remember well the tool for SoundSwap is only for characters voices so its not with this tool but there are some sound files inside some .bin files with a very specific format, it might be here.

I saw them with Archive Tool btw.

 Sound Tool doesn't work with versions newer than 1.02a

(or I missed the update?)

Thank you! But "specific" means there still no converter fir them?( Some files were mention as "extractable with lnk-reshuffle but not convertable" ... So sad T_T  I hoped I could somehow change those lame slaps with something more impressive.

I think the sounds are fine, compared to the sounds from VF5.

Here is an example of the specific format :

 

 

So yes you'll have to find a way to convert this format in a readable audio format to know what is it and replace it.

On this example you can read _EN and _JP it's ovious these sounds are used for voices or "moan" when you get / give hits.

But in some others .bin you'll see differents names, not all files are unecrypted yet.

 

From logic you can still extract one of these sound and swap it directly on another .xws and test in game what changed but it will be very long and tedious to know what it changed when you go blind like that.

 

In the SoundSwap Tool the audio format is .ogg but the name of files are encrypted, you have to extract them to know what is it then you can replace with any custom .ogg but be careful and make a copy of your game before swap a sound, it's highly recommended if you don't want to mess up your sounds after.

 

This is all the infos I have.

 

[EDIT] And about the SoundTool version, I stopped to use it on V 1.05 but I still have the modified sound for one of the story mode on my version with Mai V1.08.

[Melissava]

I wonder if just simple re-extension of .ogg into .xws with following replace of original .xws will work? XD Game supports both formats as I understand, should try.

 

[EDIT] And about the SoundTool version,

 

Can u please link the newest one?

[LGMODS]

I downloaded only one version of SoundTool, it never been updated from what I know, maybe Immi lost motivation to update it or not enough people are interested.

 

I found it here : http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/pc-general-modding-discussion.5745/page-2

 

This tool will let you access to all Story Mode voices - Music + Every voices characters in english & japanese.

Keep in mind all files are encrypted, it mean random name that make impossible to know what file is for what until you extract and test it yourself then note on a side text to remember.

Some people started to make an archive of these names on FreeStepDodge, I remember around the latest names it's characters voices and the first names are story mode.

 

When you extract a sound from here you'll be able to modify it as you want, some of these sounds have more than 2 channels, sometime 4 channels including voice, sfx and music separated that let you the choice to erase just what you want or replace it, very great.

I recommend to use a music with the same time lengh if you want to swap music, and for voices it look like there are no real limit on time.

 

Just be careful to save the original .ogg that you extract BEFORE modify it, it's very important because after when you replace the sound with your custom one you'll be unable to extract the original again, it will only extract your modified one.

 

After for some unknow reason I remember tried to replace a lot of voices in once and some of them became broken, the audio was not reading in game giving a blank.

I also broken the music in the movies selection (trust me it's not a big deal lol I was ultra tired to heard this music here so it's a bonus for me).

 

I don't have a lot of informations but here is what I noted a long time ago :

 

DATA2\IGE1WRH_B[M[OFBDK5]S2897T{0Y = Train Story Mode

DATA\IZJ@H@ADG]8C]AL0D2CAJ0ORC99S{QQ0 = Honoka

DATA\ID1E_8]]L98DJ0B2C0mPB]7R{H = Last Music = Private Paradise

DATA\ID1E_K9]LD8A23A8O8]]61R{D = 19 = Tina Fight

DATA\IGIG_QAD]07B[20BH0NQ876R{{PO = Zack

That will be cool if someone could unencrypt all files for once but it's annoying to do alone.

Personally, I'm a bit disappointed. The game is nearly 2 years old, and while we have come on leaps and bounds in terms of character mods, almost nothing has been done in terms of sound mods.

Since the beginning, I've been hoping to put my own sounds and music in the game. Soundswap has helped a bit with the latter, but only for character themes. Meanwhile, I'm SOL for sound effects.

I suppose I shouldn't complain too much, but when you look at games like Street Fighter IV, which has tools available to mod nearly all aspects of the game, it kinda sucks to see that DOA5 modding has only really been focused in one area. Mind you, you could make the argument that Street Fighter has been around longer and has had the chance to properly grow, but it still sucks all the same.

I actually don't mind the sound FX, but I'm with you as far as the music goes.  I can't help but hear certain songs as I play in certain stages, and it's a shame the only part of the game with the option for custom music is another mod.  If I was any good at coding, I'd be on this like a fat kid on cake.
