Modding Music HeLP

U

uncstatus

Hey Saints Row modding community, I need some help with putting my own music in the radio stations. I followed a tutorial, but some of the music isn't playing, and the game keeps repeating a lot of the same tracks. I'd like it to flow better if possible. I'd love a detailed tutorial or a video if you have one. I really need some guidance!
 
Out of curiousity, did you follow the tutorial within this thread?

Thread 'Modifing The Music Within Saints Row 2'

Before we start: This is not an attempt to replace N69's work.

Note:

Working With Weapon Audio
Adding New XSB/XWB Files And Making Them Play In Game
For now all these goals are unattainable. As to why the
short answer is that we do not have the proper tools. There is
the matter of the missing audio_cruncher and possibly another
version of Xact that is needed. (My guess is that it would
have to be at least from 2006/2007. The reason I think so is
that the music would have taken quite a while to amass and
re-encode not to mention the part about adding audio banks
and writing those...

If not, it may help. It might still take a while to get through.

Respectfully I did all this and respectfully I honestly think that there are some things being missed and I think that a video tutorials needed cuz there's no way that the classic radio shows up I do what is needed and then when I go in back inside Saints Row nothing is being played through Klassic radio
 
And also I did the mus ambient I extracted and it only gave me two files from towav so there's something that's being missed here new install nothing's been touched I went directly to the audio stuff
 
I did the Mus Ezzy radio replacement MUS Ezzzy Stop Playing noting it playing straight quite

It sounds like xact3 didn't encode your music tracks properly.. The only thing that you can do is reencode the files.
This actually happens quite a lot. Xact is very finicky. All you can do is keep trying.

also I did the mus ambient I extracted and it only gave me two files from towav

If you are working with the PC version of the game you need to use xactextract. Towav seems to be for the Xbox version of the game.

From the tutorial:
The xactxtract file is for those people who are working with the PC audio banks which we are.
For people using Xbox audio banks there is a program in the SR2SOUNDTOOLS.7z file called towav
that works for you.

After using xactextract if you are missing files try another extractor like unxwb. The naming convention will be different but you can search for the correct file and rename it using the xactxtract naming scheme.

If I am not explaining something very well just let me know and I'll try to clarify.

Okay so how am I renaming them back into the correct file for the Khryme radio station do I just put mu Khryme or do I basically replace the save files name of what each of the info artists and genres is
 
Your files should have a name like MUS KRHYME_001.wav (or something similar) If they already look like that then you don't have to change them. You can just import them into Xact
