I keep searching on a how to but I cannot find one anywhere. I have quite a few songs from 2012 that I would like to convert to work in the 2014 version. Can someone make a video or point me in the right direction in accomplishing this?

Download the toolkit and use "convert".   I have never tried it myself but i would guess its there for a reason.

Brand new feature added to toolkit.  From the tab menu Creator, select radio button "Convert".  Click button "Import Package".  Select 2012 CDLC *.dat file.  Click button "Generate".  Has only been tested with PC game versions so may not work yet for other game versions.

 

You need to have installed Audiokinect Wwise 2013.2.2 build 4828 for "Convert" feature to work properly.   Must be this exact build.

 

EDIT:  Several users have reported success using the Wwise auto converter with any of the build series in Audiokinect Wwise v2013.2.x build 48xx

Hi cozy, I cannot find this exact build to download, and google is not helping either. Any idea from where I can get it? If i understand correctly the convert will not work with other builds.

It has been suggested by others that later Wwise 2013 builds may work.  You can try build 4856 which is still available here.  Suggest using the 32-bit version, I have heard it is more compatible.  Please let us know if it works for you.

Thanks for the reply!

 

The audio conversion worked fine I believe, but I get a "Unknown section name: pre-verse" exception. Any idea how to handle this?

Not all RS1 CDLC can be converted automatically.  About 1% will throw an error of some kind.  You can still try to convert it manually using the Creator GUI.  Make sure the radio button "Convert" is selected.  From the Creator GUI select the song arrangement xml files from the "EOF" folder.  Select the audio ogg file from the EOF folder.  Select the album artwork from the Toolkit folder.  Add some tones.  Press Generate.  If the toolkit still throws an error then the problem is likely with one of the arrangement xml files.  Remove them one by one and try to Generate again.  You may be able to fix the bad xml file with EOF.

 

This is only known working for PC versions.

Ah, so I guess this method only works if I was the creator of the original dlc and have the eof  project files.

 

I will try with the rest of the dlc I want to convert, luckily it's not too much, only 4-5 of them. Fingers crossed

No.  You don't need to be the original CDLC creator.  You now have enough of the EOF project files to recreate the project in EOF.  The only thing you may have to do is a little bit of audio to note syncing in EOF.  Play with it.  Have fun.  Learn.
