tricolour Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yes, the bat file code to change from wav back to xwm works (i edited it in notepad), but when I run it, it does it in every sub-directory too (which is okay, but just so people know).

iceburg Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Awesome Kentos, that was exactly what I was looking for. You couldn't have made it any easier. Thank you for the beautiful tutorial, complete with pictures, and thank you especially for the download links. Saving me from downloading 500mbs and even compiling the bat file for us. Thank you!I bet if you offered this as a download, you'd get a lot of hits. (So long as this is okay to do, which I'd assume it is?)Thank you so, so much for saving us so much time and making things so perfectly simple!Thank you!

karak Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Awesome stuff., Does anyone have a list or naming convention to add music to Skyrim? Do they need to go into the explore, battle and so on folders like Oblivion and how do they need to be named or numbered. Putting my own files converted to Skyrim's music format has not made them play, so I assume their naming is specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karak Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 So looks like we still don't have a naming convention that works to add songs, versus replace correct? How are the files named inside the various folders? Does anyone have examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oomo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Uh, there's really no need to download the DirectX SDK, Mediacoder can convert xwm files just fine. Here's the details of one of the files according to Mediacoder: File: mus_sovngarde_chant_lp.xwmAudio(0): wmav2Bitrate: 48 kbpsSample Rate: 44100Channel: Stereo (2)Length: 211 seconds To convert the audio to another format, make sure to set "Audio Source" to Ffmpeg, and the Container type to "Default". Other than that, just choose whatever codec you want and convert away. I found that program terribly confusing and convoluted. I tried to play a .xwm file in it and it came out sped up. The previous bat file method worked much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robboroodoo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 So all is well with the extraction, that is an awesome tutorial, but now I'm wondering if there's a way for a layman to pack the files back up and inject them into the data; I tried archiving the folders and slappin' em back in there, but the game doesn't like that much. My first instinct is to clean out the converted files so it's just the new .xwm files, so I'm gonna give that a shot. Will report findings if positive.
