WAV <-> CWAV Conversion

BCSAR View has no built-in support for converting 3DS wave files (*.cwav) to standard wave formats. To have BCSAR View perform these conversions automatically, you must specify a command to use for WAV to CWAV and CWAV to WAV conversions.

Before you can set the command, you should install whatever tools you want BCSAR View to use. Ctrtool is a good option for CWAV to WAV conversions. Bannertool supports WAV to CWAV conversions.

Next, you need to set the command in your preferences. From BCSAR View, select the "File" menu and click "Preferences".

For the command itself, BCSAR View expects to find two arguments which it needs to fill in: wavPath and cwavPath. You specifies these variables in the command using the dollar sign and braces. For example, to use the wavPath variable you would enter ${wavPath} in the command.

Below, you can find a sample commands for WAV <-> CWAV conversion. If you are using Ctrtool and Bannertool, you can copy these commands and modify the paths to point to wherever you installed them.

CWAV to WAV with Ctrtool: D:\3DSTools\Ctrtool\ctrtool.exe --wav="${wavPath}" "${cwavPath}"

WAV to CWAV with Bannertool: D:\3DSTools\bannertool.exe makecwav -i "${wavPath}" -o "${cwavPath}"

Once you have entered your conversion commands in the preferences window, click "Confirm" to save.
