In Response To: Re: Mac sound on level 2 (VirtualWolf)

: Wanna give some pointers? ;)

Well, I had a look at the Mac level 0 files and didn't find any embedded headers containing the string FORM (generic magic for an IFF - Interchange File Format - file) or even AIFF (subtype for Audio Interchange File Format data). That means the data is probably in some other format, or the header information is constructed elsewhere (it doesn't have to be in an AIFF or .wav container to be dealt with that way). So it's not going to be all that easy.

I did find some table of contents-like information in one of the files (beginning of the .dat file I think) that looked somewhat promising - possibly length and offsets for the rest of the data, implying they could be edited. But since I don't have a Mac I can actually play the game on and my friend's well-equipped PC is busy playing Deus Ex (another heavily Ghost In The Shell inspired piece), I probably won't get to it before the full game comes out. ;)

Another way to come at this is to get the PC and Mac files in one directory and compare them, either visually or with an automated tool (ie. Unix "diff" or Mac "Rescompare"). You may find that the surroundings are the same and definable stretches differ, which would give you a starting point.
