I' trying to replace the file (ID)'If the police con't stop you' , i replace it and i get this error:

SAAT Returned the following message:
Error opening lookup file:D/Program Files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas/

P.S. : The file (ID)'If the police con't stop you' is track37, or something like this.

Please, can someone help me ?

Firstly I should mention im a SA-XBox modder, and am testing these tool on XBox streams.

when I try and run this app on a stream file I am presented with:

"Processing file 1 of 1: c:\streams\CR (length: 90474751)"
"Reading tracks ...1... Error reading input file Invalid Argument"
"Error occurd while reading c:\streams\CR; 8068 bytes were read"

is this me doing something wrong? or is there really alot of difference between XBox streams and PC streams?

Glad you have it working. There are 5 speech archives. SPC_EA has all the emergency services peds (cops, paramedics, etc) SPC_FA has CJ's girlfriends and some shop peds like clothing store and fast food clerks SPC_GA is the mammoth archive with all the normal ped speech SPC_NA has all the gang member ped speech as well as what some special chars say when teamed with CJ SPC_PA has all of CJ's non-mission speech. If you look at the SFX directory, there are identifiers for all the banks which provide some clue as to the contents; for most of these you can match up the identifier with the contents of peds.ide to find out which ped uses those sounds in the game.

working on SPC_PA file I have some question. My intention is to replace most sound to be anime related sound.
Example... when you point a gun at someones face... CJ speaks custom sound. When CJ carjacks.... custom sound.

Is GTA SA picky about sample rate / legnth of the files being replaced?
does "X" file have to be exactly the same sample rate and legnth of "Y" file?

here's work in progress... (reference use only! not a working *.ini !!)http://ookami.animetc.com/SPC_PA_INDEX.txt
At the moment im trying to get a "view" of what all is where so i would know what would be suitable for changing to what i want.
(please tell me if someone else is also working on this? maybe we can merge what we have. or is there a more simple way ?)

[0okami]

here are the sound files im working with:
http://ookami.animetc.com/gta_modding/anim...06-08-16-35.rar

I have not yet had any luck hearing any of the custom sounds. i tried converting down to 15000khz as well just to see if that could be part of the problem... maybe im not hitting the right files.

any sugestions welcome.

[FONT=Impact]does any one know where i can find out what bank file holds which vehicle(s)?

[ColdDeath]

Could someone tell me the basics of how to use this tool? YES, I've have read the first post and the readme, but i still don't understand it, what I must do after the installation and the whole "how to use".

I've extracted the files and copyed the saat_sfx.exe and saat_stream.exe, plus the two .ini's into the main sa directionary. I don't understand The second point of the installation and the whole Usage's stuff, so.

i dont know if this answers your question, but i've managed to add new sounds for cars w/o replacing old ones.
all you have to do is add the new sound banks continuing the sequential numbering. i.e. the last bank in the sfx is bank_137, the new sound banks you add should be bank_138, bank_139, etc.
then you open the sfx_import.ini file and change the "num_banks =" to however many banks you added:

CODE

[Archive] basename = GENRL lookup_index = 1 num_banks = 137

also in that ini file you have to add the info for the files. for me, since i was originally suppose to replace bank_001 and bank_002, i copied their info

CODE

[Bank_001] num_sounds = 2 sound_001.filename = Bank_001\sound_001.wav sound_001.sample_rate = 18000 sound_001.unknown_16 = 0 sound_001.unknown_32 = 0 sound_002.filename = Bank_001\sound_002.wav sound_002.sample_rate = 18000 sound_002.unknown_16 = 1000 sound_002.unknown_32 = 0 [Bank_002] num_sounds = 3 sound_001.filename = Bank_002\sound_001.wav sound_001.sample_rate = 18000 sound_001.unknown_16 = 0 sound_001.unknown_32 = 0 sound_002.filename = Bank_002\sound_002.wav sound_002.sample_rate = 18000 sound_002.unknown_16 = 0 sound_002.unknown_32 = 9799 sound_003.filename = Bank_002\sound_003.wav sound_003.sample_rate = 18000 sound_003.unknown_16 = 500

and just changed the numbers and ended up w/ this

CODE

[Bank_142] num_sounds = 2 sound_001.filename = Bank_142\sound_001.wav sound_001.sample_rate = 18000 sound_001.unknown_16 = 0 sound_001.unknown_32 = 0 sound_002.filename = Bank_142\sound_002.wav sound_002.sample_rate = 18000 sound_002.unknown_16 = 1000 sound_002.unknown_32 = 0 [Bank_143] num_sounds = 3 sound_001.filename = Bank_143\sound_001.wav sound_001.sample_rate = 18000 sound_001.unknown_16 = 0 sound_001.unknown_32 = 0 sound_002.filename = Bank_143\sound_002.wav sound_002.sample_rate = 18000 sound_002.unknown_16 = 0 sound_002.unknown_32 = 9799 sound_003.filename = Bank_143\sound_003.wav sound_003.sample_rate = 18000 sound_003.unknown_16 = 500

EDIT: then i just imported all the files again. to make sure you did it right, in the command prompt window you should see if the last bank_??? you put was imported or not.

[greg2fs]

I tried to export the sounds of SPC_GA and the INI file is empty... all other file works, do you have the same problem ?

[Gameinator]

I am having a problem with Alci's SAAT GUI when I try to open the exe it says "No working directory defined or old one is not found" "Please select a new one" and when i select one nothing happens. What is wrong?

EDIT: Problem solved when i put in GFS it is alot easier to use. Also what can cause this, I used GFS to change a few sounds i imported everything and ran san andreas I open a car door and it says "iccer". lol

this saving error: "SAAT returned the following message:

help need!

[eC.011loc]

I don't know if this has already been asked but I'm using SAAT GUI FrontEnd. The first time I used it, it worked fine. I've since reverted back to the original files to do more modding on the game but when I try to replace the files again the program won't save, it keeps giving error messages and "can't replace old files" or "can't delete original files" messages. I've tried everything from making sure the directory is right to making sure the working folder is right, because those are pretty much the only available options. The extracted folder's still the same, why won't it save anymore? Nothing's wrong with my computer. The program isn't going haywire or something is it?

Modder ceware! there's a ton of files that are going to cause the game to act funny. Carmods in my case, Schaefft's Crown Victoria, Kel's Cadillac Escalade. I want 'em bkut they make the game act funny

[TigerTanker]

Sry for the bump but after installing it, I started the .exe, but after a few secs, it disappeared.
Does anybody know why?

[evilkevin1]

Guys if you are having trouble with setting the directory of saat using command prompt, just do this,

1. Open My Computer and go to C:\WINDOWS\
2. Search for cmd.exe, (I think it's inside system32 folder)
3. Then copy it, and then paste it in your GTA SA folder (Default: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas), along with saat in your GTA SA folder, then all ya gotta do is open the command prompt in your folder and then cmd is automatically in your gta sa folder
So you dont need to type in cd "(GTA SA DIRECTORY)"
Just type in saat_(type) and then the rest of the codes and there you go.

I hope this helps
