Error whilst trying to open .wav files contained in .uax
Opened this issue · 2 comments
I am using the latest version (v5.6.2) with the default plugins and tools that come with the downloaded software. I own the game Splinter Cell 1 (steam version) and I was attempting to use this program to extract the sounds from the .uax files contained in the sound directory Steam\steamapps\common\splinter cell\Sounds; the game is patched to 1.3 which is the latest version.
I simply downloaded Dragon UnPACKer, after failing with UnrealEd to try and extract the .uax files, installed it (again, no additional plugins or tools were used with this) and attempted to browse to the directory where the files were held, the wav files contained inside the .uax file i chose were displayed on the screen, however when I tried to click on any of them (or try to extract the file) it would pop up with the error.
Another thing of note, since I own Unreal Tournament (steam version), and that uses .uax files for the game, I tried to use the same program to open the files, and it succeeded, I was able to use the wav files contained inside them in a media player, and I was able to extract them no problem. It also works with the .uax files in the game Deus Ex GOTY (also on steam).

This is because the game Splinter Cell is probably not supported by the library used in the plugin drv_ut. There is unfortunately no way around that and I cannot fix it as the library was discontinued by the author (http://www.acordero.org/projects/unreal-tournament-package-delphi-library/).
Unreal Tournament works fine because the library supports up to UT 2003.
