I decided to write a program to extract all the sound files.

Here it is I thought I'd share, to extract the sound files do the following:
1) Copy from the zip file the files xdix.exe and extract_all_idx.bat to you data\sounds folder (in your RTW install dir)
2) Run extract_all_idx.bat
3) Sit back and wait while the program does its work
4) Listen to all the music, voices and other soundsHave fun with it guys!

Yeah for some reason whenever I try to extract the sound and music files in the Kingdoms: Crusades and Teutonic mod folders, the idx program runs and says it successfully extracted the files, then xidx stops working according to Windows, and the extracted music files never appear. It's really annoying. You should look into that. Great program otherwise though.

Just a short note: the batch files attempt to extract all *idx files it knows about in “one pass”. Apparently it is very memory intensive labour on a 64bit Vista system which is probably why I could get this to work only by extracting the files in more than “one pass”.

A quick solution is to change the extract_sounds.bat file to:
Code:
for %%I in (*idx) do .\xidx -x %%I
pause
Which attempts to extract all *idx files one by one as if they are sound archives. If an *idx file isn't a sound archive then the xidx program will spit out an error but the batch file still continues with the next item in the list.

This does not work for me; the "sounds" batch file claims to be successful, but no new files or folder appear. What am I doing wrong?

The video tutorial is no help; I did everything word for word and there are no files, even though the system says that the music files were successfully extracted.

I have the same problem as Xagamon. Everything runs fine, except no new folder is created. So I have no idea if the songs really are being extracted and if so, then where are they extracted? can't finf them anywhere. Would very much appreciate if this was fixed =)

Did everyone who's having problems extract the required .batches and the xidx.exe to the folder that it is needed in? such as xidx.exe and extract_sounds.bat into the sounds folder. use the extract_sounds.bat (or which ever one you're using) before xidx.

I have the same problem as Xagamon, but it is with the animation packer. I had merged two files of animation, one with 1347 files, the other with 1467, some of the files were the same, so those I just overwrited those. When I packed the all these files, the packer only packed 1359 files even though it should have packed around 1490 files. What is wrong??

It work great to extract files from music.dat in RTW & M2TW, output files -> mp3 (RTW 192kbps, 44.1kHz, 2 channels stereo; M2TW 263kbps, 44.1kHz, 2 channels stereo). Operation as simple as stated in ReadMe file.

thanks a lot Vercingetorix.
