I made these script to extract and re/built the wva files here



Use QuickBMS to run the scripts.
To re/build the WVA file, use the build script and point it to the ini file that the extractor script generates.
To convert your audio use XboxADPCM tool
Also a warning: Whatever you do, don't ever modify/shifting/remove the sound slot around as it might crash the game! But renaming the WAV file is fine though.

You need to extract the the files first of course. I thought you've already extracted it. Use this tool to extract/repack the AFS file.

I didn't sorry. I open the afs but the command prompt keeps closing quick when I double click on it?

It's a command line program, so you need to pass a parameter to make it work. Use command prompt or write an batch file (.bat) to extract the files. Here's some example:

Code:

AFSPacker -e data_hdd.afs data_hdd

To repack the files back:

Code:

AFSPacker -c data_hdd data_hdd.afs

Alright.

I don't know what OS are you on, so let's just assume you're on Win10. Though I'm using 8.1 but it should mostly be the same

I'm using AFSes from Tales of the Abyss as an example, because I don't have the dump of DOA2U at the moment.

1. Copy the AFS file to the same directory as the AFSPacker, like this:



Or better yet, copy the AFSPacker.exe to the same directory as the AFS file, like this:



2. In Windows Explorer, Go to "File" then "Open Command Prompt" -> "Open command Prompt" again:



3. After command prompt is opened, Enter the command from my previous reply above

Extracting:


Repacking:

How did you open the Command Prompt? From Windows Explorer or from Start Menu?
Because if you did it from start menu that means you have to change directories by using cd command

What's the full address/path of the "New Folder"?

I use the start menu and change the path to
c:/Users/demet/onedrive/Desktop/new Folder>ASFPacker -e data_hdd.afs data_hdd

Then I hit enter and it gave me a fatal error?

Check the names again. Your AFS file doesn't have the underscore (_) on it's name.

So change the name of your AFS file input:

Code:

AFSPacker -e datahdd.afs datahdd

Check the folder with the same name as your AFS file then find the WVA files inside there.

ok I see that. then use XboxADPCM tool next correct?

Not yet. First extract the WVA files with the extraction script I've posted on the first reply with QuickBMS.
Then you can convert/reconvert back the audio with XboxADPCM. Pay attention to the filenames though, as it must be the same as the default ones or at least defined (If using other than default) in the ini file generated by the extraction script.

After you've done, then run the builder script by pointing it to the generated ini file.

MP3? The resulting format was WAV. Don't convert the results of the audio extraction it to mp3 again.
Just WAV is enough.
