DjCiD Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 hey ghost get this the music is mp3 format its just encrypted to a format called BAG and once u break code u have the raw mp3 format... so all we need to figure is how to code the songs as BAG. am working on that with this dragon uppacker... *scratching head*man u've got to be skilled cause all this stuff is greek to me and ur slicing thru it making new units and stuff wow!!

Edric O Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I'll update my mod page when the FTP decides to work. Despite my begging it, it stayed down for the past week. :(But the page is mosty up to date anyway...Ghosty, you CAN'T not give the Harks new units! Does the Thief Harvester work? I hope so...I know! Give the Harks the Sonic Tank as a second high-tech unit (needs Starport). We can say the Harkonnen stole the tech after smashing most of Caladan. Other Atr technologies were lost.

nemafakei Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I did tell you, ghosty... Now, ot cut down on units and weapons...Why are 3 advanced carryalls needed? 1 will suffice (pick the old At one; it is more generic).Fed sound blasts and Corrino tank blasts can be shared, as can SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ebmonkey Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Here's the specs on RFH and BAG files:http://www.dune2k.com/news/extras/jul01/rfd-rfh-bag.txt Hey ghost, is the program you tried called dragon unpacker? It claims to support .BAG files... I can't check because I don't have EBFD installed at the moment. - Ebola Monkey[This message has been edited by ebmonkey (edited 03-10-2002).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 i was using dragon unpacker it allowed me to view the bag files in EBFD but couldnt creat new ones.... i went to the site provided by both Gob and Ebmonk. With the bag program there i created a bag with both mod songs and placed it in same director as the EBFD bag music but i just dont know how to tell EBFD to play it during game... im sure its something in a text file like he *points up* said....

areyouforit Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 NOOOO!!! is this x-pak ever going to come out???????!?!?!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Does adding a 'Music' directory as well as the music.bag work - ie the same as you'd do for rfh/rfd files? (eg put the .txt files in the Model folder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty_Square Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 I already have a program which opens BAG files, but i can't edit them, nor cre8 new ones. By the way I did find the way to include the bomber, but not the RDT. As for the thief harvester, there is another, much greater problem: when the harks get the thief they dun get normal harveys!!!If any1 can find a program which can edit or create BAG files, that would be great.[This message has been edited by ghostysquare (edited 03-10-2002).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I agree make the music an extra not part of the main download. Not everyone will want the music and the extra download size will cause people to just skip the expansion completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areyouforit Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 so ... I CANT WAIT TILL SATURDAY!!!i just hope its done on saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ebmonkey Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I thought 10 megs was quite reasonable (i'm biased, i'm on cable). Most mods/extension packs are either approaching, or over that. One I looked at recently for BattleZone2 was over 100 megs. But i'm confused about something.. why doesn't creating the directory within the bag (music or whatever) and using the same file name as the original not work? Wouldn't this be telling the game to use the new one instead of the one within the bag file? (Similar to the rules.txt idea). You'd have to replace the music index file as well so it didn't get confused with the different track lengths etc, but I assumed this would work?!- Ebola Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 the music is already availble to d/l thnx to Gob so grab it now and then when mod comes how ghost put in info on where to put it.... will that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty_Square Posted March 12, 2002 Author Share Posted March 12, 2002 The only thing I can think we can do to solve the problem is include the two music files in the download, include a new common.txt file and instructions on how ppl can add the new music tracks in a BAG file. Otherwise I dun think any1 would download a 26 MB bag file.Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Minotorus Power Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 man you've been sayin that the X-Pack will be out next week. but it never is!!!I'M sorry for the RUDENESS,I just got FRUSTRATEDMAN I'M JUST LOOKING UP FOR YOU TO GET THE X-PACK READY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areyouforit Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 i wish my cd-drive was working i'm not really that exited anymore about the x pack cus i know that i wil not be playing it for a while :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Er... it won't work in the Music directory (NB "The Music system will search for the file in the music directory and/or the CDROM drive at playback time." - Music.txt), nor a new music0002.bag or something?Oh, and PLEASE could you set the music files and the other files separate - 10MB is a lot (3hrs) for many people who haven't a good connection.

Guest ebmonkey Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 14 megs? Does that include the intro as well? :D- Ebola Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 preach it!!!just post it as is... so what we've been waiting since 12-15-01 waiting 30-1hour is worth having it today... those with cable or higher willhave it in a matter of mins so just post it... plz...;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty_Square Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 HEY GUYS, I SAID IT IS READY!!!Personally I think the music should be included.No, it doesn't work in a normal folder like Rules.txt That's why I was so desperate when I discovered it was a BAG and not an RFH file containing music tracks.The mod is zipped and ready with music tracks (it has instructions on how to install them). It's 14 MB. So make your choice: music tracks in it yes or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty_Square Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 I 'd also want to say, it's not a real x-pack, it's just a mod. So treat it like a mod otherwise you 'll get a big disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
