Hi, noob here! by BkS at 6:30 PM EDT on October 15, 2013

Hi guys, I'm new here, so excuse my noobiness.

Only just came across this forum, since I've been busy extracting sounds from video games, but I'm having difficulty with a particular format atm.

I have successfully extracted GRID 2 .xma's from their .bdl package using ea_multi_xma & towav.

I originally had this tool to convert Forza 4 engine sounds from .fsb to .wav... The folder contained, quickbms, addXMARIFFheader bms script, xmatest, a batch file, Makefile, and of course to.wav

I have downloaded several tools, xma_parse & ww2ogg but I'm not quite sure how to use them.

My initial reaction was to open cmd.exe, then cd to where these tools where, and then run;

ww2ogg C:\Users\thisismyusername\Music\gamemusissoundfile.xma

or replace ww2ogg with xma_parse, but this didn't give any results, so if someone could please help me that would be great.

My thoughts are I should probably add the files for those tools beside towav or something, and I know I'm going to end up hitting myself because it's dead simple.

Thanks if you help!

BkS

P.S. I've search through the forum, and found a thread which had a tool (but was removed) for converting the xma's. Is that still around?

This is thread

If you upload a sample, I could take a look for you.

Sorry for the late reply, but here is a sample.

I've tried using towav again, but all I get is a .wav with static and some kind of noise.

I'm not seeing any XMA flags within the file you posted hence why you're getting static from ToWAV.

Can you cut a sample of an XMA from one of the BDL archives without using ea_multi_xma or ToWAV.

Can't seem to extract .bdl's with ea_xma_ripper & towav anymore, or without it.

Here's a .bdl sample. Maybe you can extract the xma/wav files.
