WC3 Goodies

Well, I spent my weeking going through WC3 and WC4 and found some interesting stuff. Unfortunately, my disks are failing me, and the network at uni is acting up, so you may have wait a while if you want any of it. (BTW, how what's the size limit on the files we can attach?)

Anyway, psych, you're in luck: I found the sound effects for WC3 and that includes guns! :) Don't ask for WC4, though, no luck with sound effect there, just inflight comms.

So, I have game flow sound effects, inflight sound effects, and also some of the more important inflight comms, such as Prince Thrakhath's challenge and Lord Ralgha's final flight. Oh yes, and audio for Paladin's briefings for the last two missions.

Attached are the WC3 MIDIs and a complete listing of what I found in WC3's TREs while digging with HCl's TRE Manager and Ripper5. There's nothing new in the MIDIs, but they're all consistent, named, and RIFF tagged, unlike the ones in the CIC's archive.

[Dash, looks like I can't attach anything worthwhile at the moment. If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll e-mail it.]

Did you find all of the inflight comms for WC4? I remember searching through WC4 a few months ago using that game audio player thingy, but I only found inflight comms for a few pilots. For obvious reasons, I'd be rather interested in getting my hands on BW pilot comms ;).

GAP found hundreds of inflight comms! The problem is identifying who with what. I don't have my listing with me, but I spent a while going through SPECIAL1.TRE

It's easier to use TRE Manager to split up the SPECIALX.TRE, then use GAP on the IFFs, because the IFFs have a little text string (along with some nasty insults) at the start to identify the communicator.
 
For anyone who's interested, here's what I found (besides the movie listings in the Articles section) from WC3:

Also, I've put online some of the more important inflight comms from WC3, most notably Prince Thrakhath's speech at Kilrah. Thrakhath doesn't seem to say anything besides taunts when I play, especially since you descend to Kilrah as soon as Thrakhath (and Hobbes) are dead.

That's great, Wedge, thanks - it's definitely a lot more than I found in WC4.

Hmm, and WC3 Kilrathi pilots... I think we can probably find some use for them too ;).
 
Wedge, how exactly do you go about extracting the WC3 comm audio? I've tried GAP, and it doesn't find anything. I've also tried Ripper, but it's been ages since I've used it, and the most I can get out of it is a runtime error.
