Because the way they did it is essentially hack it into the game. Not really create a new set of .RWS files from scratch

could you send a sample?

And here's also XXL2 if anybody wants to also take a look at it

Olympics for whatever reason works perfectly fine tho

Probably recent enough for them to still have tools or something

I did find a python script that can extract them to a raw PCM format. But so far my attempts at getting anything from these PCM files were unsuccessful to say the least

pegperegogaucho

when i take a look at those 2 streams, the total size is fucked up

Discord preview doesn't support ADPCM it seems...

pegperegogaucho

What file did you convert @adrientd

adrientd

The one above, from XXL2

pegperegogaucho

i think i know why it might be cut off

pixeltheretro

Aside from cutting out this is actually perfect holy shit

pegperegogaucho

Normally this integer should be the Size - 12

adrientd

Ah yeah, and I know Renderware doesn't really use the size value when reading, it only uses it if it wants to skip the structure,

adrientd

but maybe vgmstream does use it for some reason

adrientd

And indeed, when looking at the source code of vgmstream, it does look at the size value in the header and verifies if it is equal to the real file size, and if it's not equal then it will fail and stop reading the file:

adrientd

So we just need to correct the file sizes in the header and the stream will open fine in vgmstream
