Edited: Hello sirs and madames. I'm here because I'm real salty that the Witcher 2's Dice Poker music isn't as good as The Witcher 1's Dice Poker music, and I've determined to mod the old music back in. This has proved more difficult than expected, though, so I've come here to seek any help you folks might be able to provide.
My understanding from poking around in the games files that the audio is stored in .FSB files, and you'd have to crack those open and replace the desired music file with a modded one. Now, I have hunted up and down and all around trying to figure this out, and a lot of info seems to be lost to time and 404s. I've downloaded multiple versions of FMOD Designer, but couldn't find the apparent "right" one, FMOD 4.32.04. And even so, I'm not entirely sure how I'd even go about creating a new/altered .FSB file with the software. I've managed to figure out how to unpack the .FSB files, but not how to pack them back up successfully. I've heard of something called fsbankex.exe which apparently people have used, but no luck on finding that particular executable myself.
I know for a fact that modding this game's audio isn't impossible. At least one mod exists on Nexus that replaces the heartbeat sound effect for the Cat potion with a silent file, and the download is a .FSB, so the guy who did that must have had a way to alter those files. Does anyone here have any experience modding this game and especially its audio? I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
