So, did you ever release an actual translation of this? I can't find anything on the site.

Grazie ancora a Nyerguds! Questo progetto non sarebbe stato possibile senza il suo gentile supporto!


E mi raccomando, leggete il file LEGGIMI!

Hee, I read it! Thanks!

Though, the link to the CnC64 File Converter is a bit obsolete, since it's been changed to Engie File Converter, now more than a year ago ;)

In the readme though... you mention the format of the .SND archive as

WORD : Header del file SND
DWORD : Size del file voc
SWORD : Buffer di riproduzione
DWORD : Offset del file voc
12xBYTE : Nome del file

SWORD is just "signed word", right? That would make it 2 bytes. But the actual structure I find has 4 bytes there.
What exactly are the "header" and "buffer"? What does the information in those mean?

[edit]

Okay, so the "Header del file SND" is simply a WORD (UInt16LE) containing the amount of files, and everything after that header is a repeating block.

The "buffer" is indeed 4 bytes, of apparently unknown data. The filename needs to be seen as 13 bytes though; it's a filename up to 12 characters (classic DOS 8.3) plus an ending zero.

[edit]

Oh man, you weren't kidding. Those VOC files sound HORRIBLE

Hi Nyerguds! I knew the tool changed into Engie, I should have actually mention it in the readme, but the reason I reported CnC64FileConverter is that I have used that very tool. And worked like a charm.


SWORD, oops, it is actually a typo ;-P I menat DWORD, as you correctly pointed out.
The "Buffer" thing is my guessing. I tried to lower the values and when shorter voc are played, the ending part of the longer one (merlin.voc) is played in queue. Tried to set that to FFFF and the strange behaviour start after 5-10 minuters of play, the behaviours were pretty random and I did not find a pattern.

the original VOCs... are actually 8bit unsigned at 10KHz, but I bet they were recorded at even lower sampling. Ears destroyer.

It's just a name change though. It's still the same tool, just the versions after v1.3 are called "Engie"

Hey, TheRuler, remember that mouse cursor? It seems it's actually a common DOS format

http://www.techhelpmanual.com/842-int_33h_...nter_shape.html

-=CHE@TER=- ("CTPAX-X Team" on the Shikadi wiki) e-mailed me about it after he saw me document the icons on the Shikadi modding wiki page of KORT.

(He's a really nice Russian guy. We got in contact because he made the first working C&C1 font editor. Like me, he reverse engineers formats as a hobby.)

I split off the INT 33 mouse to its own page on the wiki, now:
