Hi mmaster_po,

       i was wondering if you could give us a quick tut on how to decompress and recompress the format so we can mod the music ingame?

      I am going to change a few songs myself, namely replace the lame indestructible song by this one :

[media=youtube]dU0MZ9ONxw4[/media]

I was also going to change the Beautiful day stage with this version of Sagat's theme, didn t really like the Dee Jay's ocremix version. Here is the one i'll be using :

[media=youtube]pPBkUgQMUyo[/media]

For Snowy Rail Yard Stage I was going to use this one :

[media=youtube]lvwwfX_mKnU[/media]

For Seths stage (final stage) I was going to use Bison theme from street fighter alpha 3. Here it is :

[media=youtube]MkfiOWiQakk[/media]

Finally was also trying to fit this song in somewhere… not really sure if it has its place. But its a cool song!

[media=youtube]-BHoIxjwuds[/media]

anyway would be appreciated if you can give me some pointers or what software to use to decompress and recompress the csb files. I know music file are aax so that shouldn’t be too hard, but when you speed up the music what speed to you set it to for the other files?

thanks!

Lounger can you make sense of this? http://209.85.225.132/translate_c?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.gamersky.com/handbook/200907/145564.shtml&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.gamersky.com/Soft/200907/21219.shtml%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DRbo%26sa%3DG&rurl=translate.google.ca&usg=ALkJrhg3bNi4M4zAQvrOiSrX3o7fjkvgGA It shows a way to make chun li’s alt without the bottom but keep the dress. I can’t understand it well though…

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 1:14pm

Damn these Chinese! :wtf:
Looking into it now…

Seems easy, and also goes into the direction I’ve already been looking at…

student1 · July 20, 2009, 2:05pm

goshanes:

Good news.

Now you can build custom arrangement for the stages.
All you need is 6 audio clips in ADX format. To get your music in that format, you may use the encoder I included. -> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V2EYHF0K

To get it to work, first you need to create exactly 6 audio tracks:

Intro (10-20 sec)

Main, Key loop (about one minute (+ 1/2 min))

Rushing1 beat (short intro: 4-16 beats)

Rushing1 (loop)

Rushing2 (short intro: 4-16 beats)

Rushing2 (loop)
in WAV format; then encode them in ADX and build a sound bank with the CSB packer. This tool makes use of the original CSBs for reference and creates a derivative, using your samples. So make sure you choose a Stage-specific CSB. Rival music is not supported. Maybe later…

btw. If you use utf_tab02 to unpack CSBs, you will get 3 AAX files. As you know, they differ from one another, depending on the tension of the fight.
Each AAX file contains 2 clips: short intro + looping clip. At the moment it is not possible to literally “repack” them, using this tool. Only adx, sorry

Good luck and enjoy!

Seems i just found the answer to most of my questions. I was wondering did anyone find a way to repack the cbs files to replace the menu music. I found the perfect track to replace the lame pop song!:)!

Tried with this method but it crashed the game.,… then again repacked the same track 6 times so the file was huge… will retry :)! Let me know if there is a better solution thanks!

edit: Tried again replacing the other files with empty adx but it failed, game still crashes guessing it checks the structure of the cbs and if it doesn t have the same number of files it crashes… any solution for this. Or any way to edit the packer so it can only accept 2 files like BGM_MAIN_OM.csb ?

That is fucking gold. :tup:

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 2:22pm

ALMOST :clown:

Chrisz0r · July 20, 2009, 3:30pm

Anyone know how can I change the menu song to the volcano stage music?

rtdzign · July 20, 2009, 4:01pm

Is anybody working on voice mods for this. I would love to have these sounds play when I fight Shotos.

Too bad we can’t give Gouki some pants (yet) :wonder:

The “transparency take away” thing looks interesting. :wgrin:

danni · July 20, 2009, 5:44pm

gr8 Daewa is there a download link 4 this !?

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 6:17pm

In the end we could probably combine the Default and the Alternate costume, then you’ll have Akuma with and without shirt-thingy.

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 6:25pm

Great skins guys :wgrin:

I want that Sakura skin, but I can’t find it. Already searched this thread, but nothing. Please, where can I find it?

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 6:50pm

d0h, I made it…
I never made it available for download.
I’ve never supplied any Capcom files.

On another note, here’s my unfinished inspection on a skin (my favorite Chun-Li skin, that’s why):

danni · July 20, 2009, 6:59pm

i saw dis skin and same others on a chinese site !

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 7:15pm

I see. Ok then.

System_1 · July 20, 2009, 7:23pm

QuickBMS script for unpacking EMB files (work in progress):
http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=30598#p30598

We can almost forget Dragon Unpacker for SF4…

SpoR · July 20, 2009, 7:42pm

Mods I want to see:

Seth as Venom/Spider Man
Akuma as non evil looking.
Akuma darker gothicy looking
Gouken as Santa Claus (alt costume ropes as bag?) (maybe zangief can pull this off too?)
Dan as evil dan, darker gothicy looking
Guile as Vanilla Ice
Rufus as Clown (aka Anhillator from Spawn)
Cammy Naked

I think the Hadouken theme would be great for the volcanic rim stage and for menu music as well.

Providenceangle · July 20, 2009, 8:47pm

Thanks Lounger. I don’t want anyone to think I’m interested in posting dlc stuff on the site. But a full understanding of how the game works will only make things better for us. Once the DLC is available I’ll make some cool textures to upload.

If we can combine the DLC cos file with the original to make a full working file. Why not take akuma’s body and use it on ken or ryu? Same body.
