Title: HW2 file extraction
Post by: Shrike on December 01, 2003, 11:44:01 am

Just wondering if anyone knows what I'd need to extract the HW2 music files, or if it's even possible.  There's some tracks in the game that I really like, and I figured someone here has gotta know or know someone who knows.

Use Spooky's tool instead, available for DL in this thread (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21054&perpage=15&pagenumber=2)  from the Relic modding forums.

Rename the FDA files to AIFR then use Winamp 2.X and the plugin. (http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/detail.jhtml;$sessionid$EPPGPQKTUHMAQ5YAAAARC0A?componentId=272)

You don't even have to do that - just load them using the aif plugin.

Beside it's the same tool Liberator as far as I know.

According to the thread, Spooky coded his own because Delphy's was slow and buggy.  He did give Delphy credit for decoding the format.  

Also the plugin I linked to is the Relic AIFR approved plugin at winamp.com, and it only works with the 2.x series.
