oh and for some reason a bit of the next subsound is added to the end of any subsound that isn't the last in the bank

actually I think I know what it's doing
the last frame is combined with the first at runtime, so maybe a loop prepriming option could be added? although that'd probably require a conversion to WAV or some other lossless format to avoid recompressing the first frame

hrmm but not all banks sound correct when I do that

Should I fix something in fsbext?

the extraction is technically fine, but adding an option to perhaps automate the fixing of looping audio to loop properly once extracted would be nice

gotta see if FMOD stores the difference between the length of the source file and the output mpeg stream though

FMOD seems to use the technique described in more detail here https://www.compuphase.com/mp3/mp3loops.htm

wait, I got seamless looping by concatenating the mp3 with itself

MPEG is weird, man

an option to perhaps automate the process of concatenating the MP3 with itself, decoding that and outputting the latter half of the decoded PCM to a WAV file could help (with multichannel subsounds recombined into a single file)?

Maybe you can just post once you have updates rather than posting every 30 seconds, it starts to be difficult to follow this topic.

[not a sarcasm] I heard some rumors that you can edit your own posts (even on discord, no kidding), but it seems too complicated. It's like you need to find "edit" or "modify" button somewhere and then click on it... and then do stuff... and then click again... too bothersome.[/not a sarcasm]

Jokes aside, on most forums such posting manner is usually prohibited and leads to warning and in case of further escalation to a ban.

Yeah I have a bad habit of doing that because I mainly use Twitter, which doesn't have an edit button for anything for some stupid reason

Ok so now for a proper bug

whenever I extract the raw data (for transferring it from an FSB4 to an FSB5) out of a bank with a single stereo pair ( https://mega.nz/file/79hwnAoI#CrWzr-t6a ... yC5vJXDrgw ), the output seems to be skipping every second frame or so

my command is fsbext -s .\fsb4\%bankNoExt%.dat -m -d .\fsb4\%bankNoExt% -R .\fsb4\%bank%, where %bank% is the bank's filename, and %bankNoExt% is %bank% minus the extension. -m has to be there otherwise the fsb5 is malformed and won't play correctly

It works perfectly fine with multichannel banks though ( https://mega.nz/file/rkxwVS6S#CrPME8OWS ... IEi1-NcUKs )

Another bug after half a year:

it seems to read too many frames in multifile banks with mp3 encoding on any file that isn't the last, making the start of the next file be heard at the end of the previous
