How to convert to WMAv2


Leftos wrote:To everyone else...
Like nesa24 said, the files are in WMAv2, 32kbps, Stereo, 44.1 KHz, 16bit. To get any song on your PC to that format, you use xWMAEncode. xWMAEncode is part of Microsoft's DirectX SDK, and can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zccl8 ... Encode.exe. You run it by putting it anywhere and running it through the command line like this:
Code:
xWMAEncode -b 32000 mysong.wav mysong.xma

You can also decode xWMA files like so:
Code:
xWMAEncode mysong.xma mysong.wav


Once you encode a file to xWMA, open it in any hex-editor, and find the "data" header. After the ASCII codes for "data" is the size of the rest of the file in 4 bytes, and then the actual song data. So, what nesa24 has done so far is grab a chunk of that song data and throw it right into jukeboxmusic.bin at decimal offset 96 to replace the start of Mercy.

Are you the guy who emailed me? If so, good to see you post on here.

We need to focus on learning the bitrate of the sounds in that file

yes i am
Since i didnt have response on 04/05/2013 mail i have decided to go public on this

Every section starts with
Code:
69A1BED202000000CD05


and there are sections larger than i posted in 1st post

unfortunately I did not have anything to report back, and like I said too, I don't have all the time in the world to research this

Since this is a big and important project, I'm moving this to the releases forum for visibility.


This was the last suggestion I got from pdub, who previously attempted decoding these files
Pdub wrote:Encode a bunch of audio files in virtual dub with Microsoft adpcm at different bitrates. Hex edit replace some of that data with 2k data. Size must match, I suggest starting at the end of each song file. Play and see if you get any 2k music or whatever. Finding the bitrate is the key.



anyone, if you know how or can help, please do

Do not give up guys, we still don't know about the future of the game in PC versions, so finding the way to change songs will affect all game comunity... Look at R4zor example with courts.

He discovers the way to change all parts of a court with a single image. Keep working at the music issue, and you'll find answers. :D

That's great news. There's been so much done with NBA 2k and it's such a small community. Look at all the stuff being done with other games like GTA, PES, etc. It's just a numbers game as to what gets discovered in this game. (Y)

because that is all there is. Unfortunately I couldn't find any bitrates that worked, but you guys can try too.
