ROM Hack [MHXX] Custom Jukebox Playlist

[CrimzonEyed]

All good with the looping.

About the found item sound? It's in romfs/arc/sound/rt_j02.arc, and once extracted it's item_gets.mca. How exactly do I repack it back into an arc?

How did you extract the .arc file? I ran but romfs extract and arcfs extract. I still don't know how to extract one of the .arc files.

I just edited the "3_wav2mca_mhx.bat" so that i can convert the WAV into MCA.
It did convert the WAV file but it's not an MCA file though, it became .DSP instead.
question is, is this the same as .MCA? so i can just rename it? I'm stuck with this.
Thanks in advance.

it's not the same as .mca so rename won't work. make sure you got all the python stuff required

This. This.

No idea how to repack it though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Where do you find that file?

I can't get a working bat using:

tools\wav2dsp.exe %~1
c:\python27\python.exe tools/mcatool.py --mhx -ls 0 -le 002,840,197 %~1
del *.dsp

What I'm I doing wrong?

Remove the commas in the sample number. 002840197.

I don't suppose anyone knows which bgm belongs to each map in https://imgur.com/a/HAggB specifically? I'm looking to replace Verdant hills and both Volcano themes

Just open them yourself with the tools and check. Verdant Hills is map02, Volcano is map08 and V. Hollow is map12.

Thanks but I forgot to mention that I'm only editing the translation patch, so I don't have the files to open using the tools to check.

Thank you for your response.
I did install "python-2.7.11.amd64" and "Pillow-3.2.0.win-amd64-py2.7" and restarted my pc ( I'm running a 64bit machine ), but still, after dragging the .WAV file into "3_wav2mca_mhx.bat" it just blinks for a moment then immediately closes the window without doing anything ( I also edited the bat file and put my filename so it would force the file to be converted but it converts into .DSP file instead of MCA.
I also tried this in a 32bit machine with the 32bit version of python with the pillow, and the same thing happens.
I also tried to take a very quick screenshot of the error. You can also see there that it forces me to have a .wav for the conversion to proceed, but i'm already using a .wav file extension.
Same error happens when i try to convert from MCA to WAV.
I'm stuck with this, please help. T_T

Remove any spaces in your file name and try again.

• Remove any spaces in your file name and try again.

  
  Looks like i got a new error after renaming one of my .wav files without any spaces
• ( I'm working on it right now )

Okay. Time to add 13 Tupac songs.

fellow pinoy patulong haha.
Can you five me a hint as to why i can't convert mine?
I tried to convert mine but the "BAT" file just suddenly closes and doesn't convert anything. mca2wav and wav2mca vice versa. nothing works
I already installed python/pillow 64 ( I'm using a 64bit machine ) and did the same with the 32 bit ones on a 32bit machine.
Also, i already did rename my .wav files without any spaces and again, no luck.
Paano mo nagawa yung sayo? hirap na hirap na ako lol >.<

 

[tuksoil]

Update!
I can now get to convert from WAV to MCA and vice versa, I just need to edit the batt file with the following commands ( see attached file ). I'm puzzled as why is this not working before even though i already installed python and pillow >.<
The only problem i'm having now is i can't convert anything from the decrypted files "romfs" ( MCA to WAV,and WAV to MCA ) heck i can't even listen to any of the MCA files from those decrypted one's using Audacity and foobar2000. it's as if the files were corrupt.
The way i see it, i can only convert it using my own converted files outside of that decrypted ones.

Do you know what the music of the license monsters ??
Thanks in advance

 

[Slade0120]

Is there a way to make the themes "save" when a monster switches areas? Mine always restart and I dunno how to fix it.

I think dasding would have to make a tool for that too. This also happens when another sound kicks in, like subquest completed, then the bgm starts over instead of continuing from where it left off. Honestly I don't find it a big issue, I'm just glad we can change and properly loop bgms.

Cheers to everyone. Got a problem. I maded and converted everything on the instruction fields. When trying to swap bgm_em_Named.mca in game only silence. What im doing wrong? May be "named" music should be around 1 mins and loop? Trying to insert track with 3 mins length. What im doing wrong?
Also when unpacked my file from mca, heared buzzing noise...
Upper post about overwrite file in "tools" not helped. Everything what coming from
3_wav2mca_mhx.bat is buzzing.

The buzzing noise from a looped file is normal, in game it will sound fine. What steps did you take exactly? And are you rebuilding a CIA or using LayeredFS?

 

[Nightery]

mca creation done, but looping won't work for me with this .bat
tools\wav2dsp.exe %~1
c:\python27\python.exe tools/mcatool.py --mhx -ls 0 -le 005915988 %~1
del *.dsp

my file

Using NTR method. It's just not working. All soft installed, windows 10 x64 system.

Updated.
Looping worked without --mhx -ls 0 -le 005915988.
