Yea, how do I do it?

illegally.

Why is it illegal?

For one's personal use from a copy of Far Cry one owns a license to? Doubtfully.

------------------
If you can read this, you need better glasses.

It's illegal to hack copy-protection or any form of encryption in the USA. If the files are encrypted in any way in the Farcry datafiles, it's illegal to extract them unless whoever made farcry says it's okay.

K, didn't know it wasn't allowed. Sorry.

f*** the DMCA. It only takes care of big rich corporations while taking a nice big steaming s*** on personal rights. If it was up to me, any politician that voted in avor of that would never hold office again.

Because personal rights should include stealing, right?

That's why it's not up to you.

You could Google around for it anyway, it's not like it really matters for personal use. It may be illegal, but legality doesn't dictate morality. The copy protection isn't there to stop people from extracting sounds for personal use or even for other mod projects. A lot of that stuff is legal safegaurd, and stops things like total theft of material. I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh, they should just be in whatever Far Cry's container files are. Come to think of it, I would doubt they're even encrypted, but I never checked. It would seem silly to not allow Far Cry modders to mod sounds from the original game...

You could also find a quiet place on an island (or make your own quiet room level if necessary) and record the sounds with the wave/what you hear recording feature that should be on your soundcard.

Edit: To save the legal troubles, you're really better off Googling and looking on sound search engines such as findsounds.com and get yourself some sounds which are public domain. I wouldn't be suprised if there are sound libraries that include weapon sounds. I'm sure not all developers record their own sounds for games, especially for standard weapons.

Does this mean it's illegal to extract JK sounds?;p

If you can read this you're
TOO DAMN CLOSE!!

I prefer the term "permanent borrowing."

some people download to try out a song before they buy it. Sure, you can hear portions of songs if you buy online, but its not the full song and its in piss-poor-quality real audio or WMA.

hahaha PW.


Anyway, I've extracted some of the FarCry music onto my MP3 player... ummm titletrack_demo.wav I think it was...

just go into the game directory, they may be zipped up in pk3s or something I don't remember (well it's not a pk3 anyway).

They're in .paks I believe. However I've downloaded PAK Explorer and it says the type of file is unrecognized. Any idea how I could extract them otherwise?

Try another program such as PAKScape, search on Far Cry editing sites, try the Far Cry SDK. Try WinZip.
