No. This tool just decodes them using fmod library.

I don't understand, why splitter is needed?

Whenever I use this tool, it outputs the .wav file without the filename from the FSB.

I can't batch convert them because of this issue

Input1.fsb --> .wav
Input2.fsb --> .wav (Overwrites previous conversion)

This may mean there's no names inside the FSB. Can you send me an example file?

I archive video game music in native format. Normally I extract fsb containers to get the original files again except in the case of oggs. If a game packs all sounds inside one big archive, I don't want to archive it. Instead I'm looking for a way to separate the music from the sounds and delete the latter. I guess I'm not that much of a special case because JoshW also builds such a library of games (http://www.hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showthread=26929).
I don't think it's very complicated to code. I'd do it myself but obviously I lack the competence.

Your first phrase confused me

Quote:

one file per fsb so one can use fsb_aud_extr.exe on single files

About "rebuilding ogg" it is not just about making headers. It IS complicated, you need to encapsulate ogg stream into vorbis container, and their packet requirements are crazy, I can't even understand how it must work yet.

But does fsb_aud_extr.exe need valid headers for each single file inside an FSB? Isn't it possible to split the FSB container without perfectly rebuilding it and fsb_aud_extr.exe still being able to decode the resulting fsb files?

What is the reason to split FSB file, then decode individual files? What do you mean by "decode"?

Decode the streams to uncompressed wave. I stated the reason above...

So you want to make 10 small FSB files from 1 big FSB file, and store it? Sorry, I don't know if its possible. Maybe Luigi can help you.

Well yeah, I want to split the archives AND delete the sounds.
What exactly does your tool do? Doesn't it read the offsets and sizes of the ogg containers and sends them through the dll to decode? Wouldn't it be easy then to take this very information to recreate an FSB archive that only holds one size-offset combination?

No. It passes the whole FSB file to the dll.

Ok, I didn't know that... Seems like I'll have to give it a try after all...

Sure, here's an example file. It doesn't have the filename inside the FSB so maybe you could add that to your program? If no string ID is found for a name then it uses the basename of the FSB file adding a _1, _2 etc or something if there is more than one file

Else... could you upload the source code somwhere? Maybe somebody is able to write an according QuickBMS script which eventually can be rewritten to split FSB5 containers?

Sure, here it is. But it will not help a bit to write any scripts:

Code:

result = sound->getNumSubSounds(&numsubsounds);
result = sound->getFormat(&stype,&sformat,&s_channels,&s_bits);

for (i=0;i{
   sound->getSubSound(i, &sound_to_play);
   sound_to_play->seekData(0);
   result = sound_to_play->getDefaults(&s_freq,&s_bits);
   result = sound_to_play->getFormat(&stype,&sformat,&s_chan_this,&s_bits);
   result = sound_to_play->getLength(&bs, FMOD_TIMEUNIT_PCM);
   result = sound_to_play->getName(fnn,nl);
   buffer = (char*)malloc(bs*s_channels*s_bits/8);
   result = sound_to_play->readData(buffer,bs*s_channels*s_bits/8,&br);
   FILE *file = NULL;
   file = fopen(strcat(fnn,".wav"), "wb");
   WriteWaveHeader(file,(unsigned long)s_freq,s_bits,s_channels,br);
   fwrite (buffer, br,1,file);
   fclose(file);
}

Here's a new version that will output numbered filenames if there are none inside of FSB. Also some basic error handling added, so if you give it a wrong file, it won't crash, but give you proper error message.

Fantastic, thank you for the update

id-daemon, posted Mon May 11, 2015 5:05 pm (5211)

You're welcome. Maybe in case of only 1 file it's better not to add that _0 ?

brendan19, posted Tue May 12, 2015 8:29 am (5228)

Yeah probably not if there's only a single FSB.

Files that have more than one FSB in them should add the numbers like _1, _2, _3 etc at the end

probably out of memory error, because i never released any memory

I never expected it to be used on files that large. What is the error message?

Works flawlessly on SND_*.xxx files (such as speech files). Has anybody found the characters' combat sounds yet? Like attack and hit sounds etc.?
