treylyn_baleur Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 hey, i was wondering, how to you open and listen to the .wav files in the KOTOR 1 and 2 StreamVoice folders? i read this one post that said to just change the extension, but i dont know how to do that, so someone, please help me!
Hassat Hunter Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) MILES method Find MILES sound studio (use google) and you can use this program to just listen to them... WINAMP method Requires a bit more work; but is better IMO (since WinAmp allows more than Miles player; like listening to a whole list instead one at a time). The trick is to make the files *.mp3... then WinAmp will read them. COPY the files though and make the copies *.mp3... don't want to alter the originals! Now how to make a *.wav *.mp3? 1. The manual way (slow) Right click a file and then select "change name". Now rename the .wav to .mp3. IF a file does not have such an extension go to "Extra (maybe different in English Windows; some say Tools or so?)" and De-select the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" 2. The fast (yet bit more tricky) way Go to the DOS-box (programprompt); should be somewhere in Start-Programs-Burea-Accessoires. Now enter CD C:\; and then CD *filenames path*:\ (for example CD C:\Kotor2\SoundFiles) Then use the command Rename *.wav *.mp3 Done. Edit; note to a mod; Move to kotor-section? Edited October 29, 2006 by Hassat Hunter ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Edit; note to a mod; Move to kotor-section? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not familiar with KOTOR music, but isn't Winamp associated with *.wav files by default? Anyway, if Winamp is not associated with a file extension in Windows Explorer, but the format is known, it is easier to just select all files and drag-and-drop to Winamp playlist.
Hassat Hunter Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 You can select that during the install... but you don't have to. And KOTORs *.wav's will only generate static when run in WinAmp... only when converted to *.mp3 will they be audiable. Another way to make WinAmp run them is right-click; open with...; then select WinAmp and "always open with this program" And a small correction to above post... the "hide extensions" is inside Map-options of the Extra/Tools dropdown box... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Hassat Hunter Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Yes. But most players (*cough*WMP*cough) won't run these MP3's... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Strange I wonder how they were encoded... Some kinda MP3 based format with certain parts missing I would think. "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
