Pumpkinhead Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Don't quote me on this, but I think that the sound1.cat and sound 2.cat files in the "sounds" directory hold the audio... They're stored in RAW format from what I remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeFireLight Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 yes that is correct.. how ever extracting them is not easy.. even if you can find the right tools.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 The last time I tried (probably about 8 years ago) I used Goldwave which has no trouble opening the files, but because they're .RAW, you have to manually select sample rate, bit rate and stereo/mono etc etc... I can't remember what it turned out to be, but it takes a lot of fiddling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 It's not that hard to extract the sound files from the .cat archives. I don't recall what program I used to do so, but I could extract every alien and human death sound, plus some shooting sounds and the infamous psi control sound. I'll upload and post a zipped file with the sound effects soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 yes, its all mostly trail and error with sound editing programs. it similar to what is in apoc, but i found apoc to be easier than UFO or TFTD. when i tried extracting UFO sounds as i did with APOC, it was all garbled. i could make out the sounds ( i think i was doing the intro sequence tho), but it was all messed up. maybe i shold've done some more trails and errors...
