Gaulish Gaming Banquet: editor

adrientd

With all that, we could make the editor work in a similar way. We could reuse all separated voice lines from the XXL1/XXL2 Remasters (for other games that might be more tricky) in WAV format (so OGG -> WAV conversion needed first), and whenever changes are done, one could click some button that would regenerate all the speech RWS files.

adrientd

So basically, you would just need to translate the WAV file of every text line, and the editor does the rest.

adrientd

Though again this will be a lot of work to implement :Obelul:

I don't think requiring a remaster to edit voice lines is a good idea.

pegperegogaucho

Editor should detect if remaster or not, then act accordingly, for example extract the streams from the rws files and repack them.

pegperegogaucho

I believe that is actually easier than doing it like you described

pegperegogaucho

The voice rws files are actually just one long audio track with several sub streams pointing at some offset in the track to create multiple parts

pegperegogaucho

You can check the vgmstream implementation

adrientd

I mean it's just an idea

adrientd

And without remaster, we might also find a way to extract all substreams from the RWS files as WAVs to one folder per language (only disadvantage is no access to unused speeches)

adrientd

It also solves the problem of duplication: the merchant for example has RWS files for each level, multiple RWS files can share the same voice line etc.

adrientd

And yes, I've seen the vgmstream implementation, the "only" documentation of RWS files I've seen :Obelul:

forgotten_in_abyss

But this could work, right?

adrientd

Maybe, we have to try first I guess :Obelul:

deep_wolf

Foobar vgmthing already does that. I've extracted all voicelines from XXL1, they're cut by phrase and one .RWS file is one cut-scene. As well and one-off merchant speech, which is dublicated on every level.

For ex: golden laurel dialogue

adrientd

Yes, what I mean is a way to extract all RWS of one/all levels to WAVs in an automatic ways, with text ID as their filename.

deep_wolf

Ah I see. Text ID are total chaos. They all over the place, took me a good while to figure them out.

No need to have ID files
