Multi-Channel audio exporting?! Thank you GooD!

[GooD-NTS]

Multi-Channel audio exporting?!

yep, I have read a lot of wav and DirectX documentation to do this

but... is maybe have a errors, it need to be tested

[gamerzworld]

There seems to be a bug when configuring the game's path. The next button is always grayed out even when I select the correct folder. When I try to close the config window, I get a memory leak error. "An unexpected memory leak has occurred. The unexpected small blocks leaks are:

29-36 bytes: TRegistry x 1

93-100 bytes: UnicodeString x1"

 

I'm on Windows Vista x64.

 

EDIT: Upon relaunching OpenIV, it had the correct folder and everything. However, I'm getting an error while trying to export AD029_NUCA_2 in the Ads RPF. When it pops up the error and I click OK, the progress bar stays on the screen but does nothing.

Ok, is strange I try to fix this.

Yes, is a realy bug, thanks for a report. In new build (release on this weekend) is will be fixed.

[Fabio206]

Good, I translated RageAudioWindow.xml and put all the files in \Resources\Languages\it_IT but the tool doesn't show me the option for change the language in italian.. what I have to do?

[GooD-NTS]

Fabio206, you need update your LIP.xml for support 0.9 version.

In a next weeks I plan to write tutorial for translators.

Found 2 Bugs:

First bug if i minimize the player to the taskbar and reopen it the buttons are gone... i mean for playing the song and export the file...

and then i tried to open some sfx files and maximaze the program with the little button above the questionmark and suddenly my pc freezes...

i had to restart my pc

and the same sentences here... it would be great if you could add a timeline so that the user can define where to start or just listen through some files without exporting all files

 

but great work :>

and another question. I dont know if it was mentioned before but why cant wtd files be opened which was edited with SparkIV?

I hope both programs will communicate in future cause they are all great

This is strange, for what files this happening?

Yes, I plan to do this in future.

Yes I know about this problem, but I don't understand why it happening.

Good work! Thanks you! I love this tool.

I think your channel mapping for multichannel files is not quite right... how do you decide which channel gets mapped to which speaker?

In my personal tool i look at the channel names, sort the channels in the right order and write a waveformat extensible...

 

Example:

CUTSCENES/INTROM contains 5 channels: INTROM_ROM1A.RS, INTROM_ROM1A.L, INTROM_ROM1A.LS, INTROM_ROM1A.C, INTROM_ROM1A.R in that order.

The order in the file is random - it should be sorted to L, R, C, BL, BR in the resulting wave file

 

You can do this for all multichannel files by looking at the name. All 2 channel files have names like *_LEFT, *_RIGHT; 3 channel files have names like *_LEFT, *_RIGHT, *_CENTRE; 5 channel files like INTROM use *.L, *.R, *.C, *.LR, *.LS

Nevermind.

I hope new version (0.9.1) of OpenIV will be released before 17th... when I get "The Lost And Damned" and start play it & research it...

Talking to Good NTS and he has said there will be an update coming soon so keep an eye out for it

[GooD-NTS]

Yes, you right, I'm not sort channels in current version.

Unfortunately updates will not be coming soon (at 17th as I planned).

Because my old PC is broke down, a few days ago. Now I buy a new PC... I'm currently install software to new system and copy my files from old hard drives.

In this days i can't work on OpenIV...

[evilrex]

Too bad we can't import new audio yet.

Awesome work, though!

[jjcoolj91]

once version 9.1 comes later, he will add that support in as well

[simkas]

I've found a kinda wierd bug. When I try to view or edit the m_m_enforcer.wtd file (all other files in that archive work perfectly fine) in componentpeds.img, I get the following error:

 

Time: "19:33:51"Type: "EZDecompressionError"Message: "data error"Additional information: Address: "0x004C3BF6" Procedure: "ZLibEx.ZDecompressCheck" Unit: "ZLibEx.pas", Line: "641"Stack:[004C3BF1] ZLibEx.ZDecompressCheck (Line 639, "ZLibEx.pas" + 5) + $10[004FCE54] InPlaceWTDUnit.TInPlaceWTD.Create (Line 96, "..\..\..\..\Common Units\RSC\PC\InPlaceWTDUnit.pas" + 1) + $9[005B72A3] RageTextureWindowUnit.TRageTextureWindow.Load (Line 490, "Windows\editors\RageTextureWindowUnit.pas" + 5) + $C[005BB8BB] FileActionsUnit.TEditFileAction.EditTexture (Line 247, "System\FileTypeLibrary\FileActionsUnit.pas" + 9) + $7[005BB9F5] FileActionsUnit.TEditFileAction.Execute (Line 281, "System\FileTypeLibrary\FileActionsUnit.pas" + 12) + $7[005A5D79] DialogsModuleUnit.TActionsModule.actEditFileExecute (Line 836, "Windows\DialogsModuleUnit.pas" + 1) + $22[00494341] Menus.TPopupList.MainWndProc + $1D[0042E094] Classes.StdWndProc + $14

 

After that error, trying to open the same file does absolutely nothing (other files still work) and when I close OpenIV, I get this error:

 

An unexpected memory leak has occured. The unexpected small block areas are:13 - 20 bytes: TFileStream x 1125 - 132 bytes: UnicodeString x 1The sizes of unexpected leaked medium and large blocks are: 9772, 32812

 

Again, I can open all other files in the same componentpeds.img archive perfectly fine, this only seems to happen with that one file.

[Alexander Blade]

is this file edited before in spark ?

Nope.

Hi !

 

First of all, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for this ! ! ! This programm is amazing. How can we mod without such an awesome soft ?!

 

 

I have a question/request, if I can ask : is there a way to replace a png with a bigger one ? Like replacing a 512 tex by a 1024 tex ?

 

Feel free to pm me if you want to discuss about it. Thx.

[_CP_]

Can you make in edit texture option Change Levels for all textures?

(like CTRL+A and Change Levels)

[boCa]

+1, would be much appreciated.

 

EDIT: Could u add the feature to open, edit, ex-/import the xenon-dictionaries (xbox)

Would it be possible to convert these files to the windows-dictionieres?

Xtd->wtd, so it works for the pc version?

Do you edit other files in this archive before you get this error?

Not now yet, but this will be in one of next versions (not in 0.9.1).

Ok, I think about it.

I think you talking about it:

you need read old OpenIV development topic about support xbox in OpenIV.

 

[bikerjim_uk]

Is there any chance you could fix\improve the texture compression on inserting?

 

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=397056

 

Thanks for a great tool.

 

[GooD-NTS]

 

bikerjim_uk, if OpenIV have the same problem does this depend on DXT compression. Currently we can't change (or disable) DXT compression for textures. Maybe in future this ability will be.

[bikerjim_uk]

I think that is it, thanks for the reply.

Do you know what is the best settings for a dds file to reduce the compression prior to inserting?

 

 

I just tried inaserting a dds and got an error - this is not a png, is that normal?

AWESOME ! ! ! That's a fantastic news, thx for answering dude, good luck.

 

Amazing job so far on your tool.
