Tim_uh60 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Ok think this is my reason why I can't import my file cuase I change the audio files in one of the bank and it doesn't match the ini but I don't know where what goes so here all my file info just incase my file can't work and the file I'm replacing. my file Bit Rate 705kbps Audio sample size 16 bit channels 2(stereo) Audio sample rate 22kHz Audio formate PCM ini file sound_004.filename = Bank_132\sound_004.wav sound_004.sample_rate = 8000 sound_004.unknown_16 = 400 sound_004.unknown_32 = 0 Link to post Share on other sites

Your replacement sound is sterero (2 channels). Quoting the SAAT Manual, under Notes on Import Formats, Sound Effects the most important thing is that it is a mono sound. If you have a stereo sound, you must mix it down to a single channel before you import it. Otherwise, in the game it will play at half speed. So you will need to mix it down to mono in a sound editor first. You may eventually need to alter the replacement sound to a sample rate closer to the 8khz the original file was since San Andreas does some serious manipulation of engine sounds, but that is probably better left until after testing it in-game. Now take this file of yours, name it "new_sound_004.wav" and then place it in the same folder as the sound you are replacing (probably c:\temp\saat\GENRL\Bank_132). Now backup the INI file to a new name or location then open the INI, and find the line that says: sound_004.filename = Bank_132\sound_004.wav and change this line to say: sound_004.filename = Bank_132\new_sound_004.wav You can leave all the other sound_004 entries alone. At this point, backup your BankLkup.dat file if you haven't already (and GENRL as well if you don't mind using the space) and run the import. When you do, SAAT will pick up the sample rate and the fact that it is 16-bit by reading the WAVe header and will store this information in the bank header. Link to post Share on other sites

shoja_ickhi 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hello. I will happily use SAAT. The answer did not come though it inquired of the author in mail. Please let me question from the above-mentioned reason here. *Please forgive strange English of the machine translation. It is not reproduced according to the image though the report of gunsound file (Bank137) of GTASA will be changed in using SAAT. To be specific, it came, tone quality deteriorated, and the sound was lowered. How should I do to solve this? We will wait for the answer. Link to post Share on other sites
pdescobar 10 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 @Tim_uh60: The syntax of the import command is different than the export command; there are examples in the documentation. In your specific case, I'm assuming these values from before: SA game directory: c:\program files\rockstar games\gta san andreas SAAT install directory: c:\program files\rockstar games\gta san andreas\saat source import directory: C:\temp\saat\GENRL And the commands to use would be: cd "c:\program files\rockstar games\gta san andreas\saat" saat_sfx -i ..\audio\SFX\GENRL c:\temp\saat\GENRL\sfx_import.ini ..\audio\CONFIG\BankLkup.dat As with before, please note that each command is all on one line; the web browser might break it up into a couple lines, but you type it as one command. And that each colored piece is separated by a space. And make sure you backup the BankLkup.dat and GENRL archive first in case something goes wrong. Also, please consider cropping your screenshots or using thumbnails/links to avoid stretching the page too much. ===================== @shoja_ickhi: This topic is the best place for feedback & questions; the spam filters on my email are really bad and stuff constantly gets routed wrong. As for your problem, gun sounds in the game are actually a mix of two different sound files. Here are some tips from user tzesun: About the gunshot sounds - I found out to avoid the gunshot sound changing pitch way too much in game whilst firing (very noticable with full auto, especially the assault rifles) both sound files (each gunshot sound effect uses 2 wav files) need to be a different pitch (when tested with the default ones, swapping the sound round made no difference, though using the same unedited sound for both shots caused the changing pitch effect in game). So make sure that both the sounds are different pitches. Found out somemore stuff about editing the gunshot sounds. It can be more desireable to use higher quality sound formats (44100 seems to work very well) in the game, the pitch doesn't change nearly as much plus the sounds sound much richer and close to the original wave sound. Now if only someone could figure out how to change the way the engine resamples and reverbs the sound so they don't sound so weird in the game. Would have been more resourceful on the system to just play the sound as it is instead of doing all that reverb crap, that's probaly why GTA: SA struggles so much with sound effects.

ZAZ 716 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Jo man, excellent work for the GTA community I wonna release now a musik mod (modified AMBIENCE for musik in lokations and BEATS to use it with main mod) I wonna put your saat-files into the download package. Would you give me permission ? (Of course I´ll add a credit to you) The reason for to do it by this way is: By copy the modified files BEATS and AMBIENCE and all the sound config files, to use them again after a fresh Install of SA, the game became instabelity.

Using the two sounds you provided for the Maverick, the footsteps definitely sound wrong after those sfx play.

gta-gt 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm still having trouble with importing music into the game's radio stations. I've tried bit rates from 56 to 150 kbps, stereo, and a 32000Hz sample rate. I cut the first and last 10 seconds out of my song for the intro and outro. No matter what I do, the song will not play while in a vehicle. It will only play in the audio option menu, and even then once the song ends the radio does not continue on to the next song. For anyone who has successfully imported music into the game's radio stations, can you please tell me step by step how you imported your music? Include bit rates, sample rates, length of intro/midsection/outro, etc. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

The more details the better; if you think it's too much info to post, PM it to me. The dead air bug really isn't understood very well, and the more I know about what you are doing when you get it, the better chance I have to figure out what goes wrong and how to fix or at least avoid it.

gta-gt 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I tried to replace several tracks in the audio\streams\MR directory - Tracks 138-144 which make up Alice In Chains' "Them Bones" on Radio X and Tracks 145-147 which make up STP's "Plush". I tried replacing each of these songs with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give It Away" which is roughly a minute longer than either song. I tried replacing one track at a time, then I tried replacing all tracks, and the result is always the same. Link to post Share on other sites

pdescobar 10 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I'm guessing there isn't a windows port. You're guessing incorrectly. The source code should compile on any platform which is supported by libsndfile and libvorbis. All development is done on Windows under cygwin and MinGW; the precompiled binaries in the release package are tested on both Win98 & XP and should run under any modern version of Windows. On the other hand, it is a command-line program and must be run from the Windows Command Prompt. If you are using the wrong terminology and actually guessing that there is currently no version with a Graphical User Interface, that is correct. Link to post Share on other sites
