ever17 music format

I managed to extract the music from ever17 but I'm not exactly sure what format it's in or how I can figure out. It's a .waf file which is something I've never heard of before (at least according to bgm.dat). Any tips or suggestions would be appriciated...

Try using Kid Tools (somewhere here : http://ayuanx.go.8866.org/ ), you will get them in wavefiles. Otherwise there seems to be a waf plugin for foobar, at least...

thanks that did exactly what I wanted

How do you extract the .waf files from the bgm.dat file?

Ok, thanks people. It did the job.

Hi everyone~
I downloaded Kid Tools from the site [Thanks!]; And my fears were confirmed ;) :P The music is in a 22KHz! [When I first got the game; when I got to the main menu I noticed it immediately]
I'm hoping to change or replace the music in Ever17 [if I can I'll buy the Ever17 Soundtrack], but due to the ... confusing format; I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to...

Does anyone know how to do this? I couldn't see a way to replace/add files using Kid Tools;
Is there something out there I'm missing?
The only clue I could find was... http://www.jgames.net/Display.asp?RootID=97627

Which I'm guessing is used to extract the wav...? I'm quite rusty with my programming! But... With this can't I figure out how to reverse the process? [...]
Anybody know anything about this?
[an easy program already out there for this ? :P :)]
Or maybe I just need to open up the dat with some kind of hex thing? find the header? and replace the data after the header? ........
I should just live with it ;) But, if there's a chance?!

Thanks for reading!

Well I finally looked at this; the code confused me lol
I downloaded a hex editor for the first time :P

Looked through the dat and made observations...
The beginning/header of the .dat contains the names of the files and 2 fields [I imagine the beginning and end of each song memory address]
I haven't explored it enough to understand how to figure it out though; if I'm right.

Each WAF file actually begins with WAF so it was very simple to find the beginning and the ends of each bgm file [and rip it!]

Converting I figured out pretty simply through observations :
my notes:


header (replacing the following respectively allows conversion)

.waf
57 41 46 00 00 YY 02 00 22 ... 04 04 00 F4 ... FF 88 01 18 FF 00 ...

YY is 00 longint 570425856

.wav

52 49 46 46 46 XX XX 00 57 41 56 45 66 6D 74 20 32 00 00 YY 02 00 02 00 22 ... 04 04 00 20 00 F4 ... FF 88 01 18 FF 64 61 74 61 00 ...

XX XX is near the end of header followed by 00 and XY XY
YY is 00 longint 33554944

end file needs 70 padding

basically if you do that it converts the existing Waf files to playable Wav files...

When I look at this next I need to find out how to implment this to 44khz files and figure out the memory location thing; If I get it right, I should be able to overwrite the existing songs and change the length of the dat ... and test by loading in Kid Tools!
