acb2wavs doesn't support looping? about libcgss HOT 13 CLOSED

acb2wavs does not support looping by default...

But is the time alright? I mean, the decoded time equals to overall time (with looped content only plays once).

from libcgss.

I believe the time is alright.

If not by default then how do I get it to loop? I've been using vgmstream for a lot of the tracks which are looped automatically but I've come across a couple tracks that just get exported as static noise. I've tried those tracks with acb2wavs and they get exported correctly but just not looped.

from libcgss.

Those tracks that are static noises don't have their subkeys baked into vgmstream yet: it should only be anything from and past the Lost Heroes event along with most sound effects/voice clips.

from libcgss.

Oh yes that's right. Also thanks I managed to get it to work with vgmstream by giving it the correct subkeys

from libcgss.

To enable looping you can modify the fields in decoderConfig:

vgmstream is like a de facto standard... I start to think I should make a utility that generates companion .hcakey for vgmstream from acbs. Then it does not have to bake those keys in the code.

from libcgss.

Oh nice. Also that would actually be super useful if you could do that. Thanks for your help

from libcgss.

@Rohul1997 The new release contains a utility to do that. But you still have to get the main key yourself.

from libcgss.

Ayy thanks a lot. I've just tried it and it kinda works how its meant to.
For some Dragalia Lost tracks .bin files get exported which are also .hca files that are normally separate vocal and instrumental tracks. The problem is using acb2hcas the .bin files that get exported inside the external folders are files filled with zeros in hex. Other than that the .hca and .hcakey files that get exported work fine with vgmstream.

from libcgss.

I guess you meant "internal folders".

Well, it may be another "linking" or "aliasing". And they are filled with zeroes, for unknown reasons. You can check out the internal AWB in raid.acb. (Search for "AFS2" in a hex editor.)

from libcgss.

No no I actually did mean the external folders because when using acb2wavs it exported to external and those .bin files if you rename them to .wav they play. So it should be the same with acb2hcas only difference is those .bin files should just be renamed to .hca but the problem is they are filled with zeroes and so contain nothing.

from libcgss.

Oh so when I use the -n parameter it gives 1 .hca file with the name and 2 .bin file inside the external folder. The .hca file is fine and has the correct content but the 2 .bin files are filled with zeroes.

When I don't use the -n parameter it gives 3 .bin files inside the external folder. All 3 are .hca files and do have the correct content inside.

The same file names + extensions are exported inside the internal folder but those are just couple kb files that don't have the actual content.

from libcgss.

It's weird, the name should not affect reading streams. Anyway this should be fixed in a new release.

from libcgss.

Thanks! Just tried and it works perfectly now. I guess I can close this now.
