-In //Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door//'​s root file-table, audio is stored in //​root/​sound//​.\\  +[[paper_mario_the_thousand_year_door:soundfolder|Click here for a redirect link]]
-Said sub-folder is split into two further folders. +
- +
-=====root/​sound/​proj===== +
-====pmario.samp==== +
-Where most of the sound effects are stored for the game, save for a handful that are stm files and in the root/​sound/​stream folder. Samplebanks normally store instrument samples in other games, but the developers decided to have the samplebank serve a different purpose. +
- +
-====pmario.sdir==== +
-A file with no header with a repeating 32-byte structure that encodes sample info for the bank. +
- +
-====pmario.etbl==== +
-Nametable for SFX files. Last byte before the next SFX increments up to 0xFF and then rolls back to 0x00. [[http://​pastebin.com/​ERXx6nGf|A list of said SFX files]] +
- +
-There is junk in the names up to the 30th character. No associated offset or length data that specifies a fixed index and multiplying it by 32. I.e, SE3_AMB_RIVER1:​ 2*32=64 or 0x40-0x60 (0x40+60, record length[32] in hex) which corresponds with "​SE3_AMB_RIVER1.IO_JUMP2..LING2"​ +
- +
-====pmario.stbl==== +
-Duplicate of pmario.etbl?​ +
- +
-"​.IO"​ and onward is a null terminator followed by an '​afterimage'​ of names before it. If names afterwards do not take up the 30 chars max (last two are reserved...for what?), it just reprints the last used chars on next line. +
- +
-====pmario_sound_bgm_txt_db==== +
-Also:\\  +
-pmario_sound_bgm_env_db\\  +
-pmario_sound_bgm_env_db2\\  +
-pmario_sound_sfx_txt_db\\  +
- +
-Config datalist for the stms, includes sound effects but is generally used for streaming the game's BGMs. Uses the .tbl filename as an identifier. Generally worthless from a hacking perspective,​ besides giving very confusing names for the music in-game. +
- +
-=====root/​sound/​stream===== +
-====.stm==== +
-The main format for the game's BGMs and BGSs, and also used in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and Cubivore. It is a proprietary audio format by Nintendo, so not much is known about it, documentation wise. +
- +
-TTYD streams the music directly from the disc, and the stm file-format is near identical to dsp in terms of coding, there is just only a file-format name difference. [[http://​pastebin.com/​VitAPX0A|Here is a list]] of known stm files in the game. +
- +
-====.stm header=== +
-u16 field00: 0x00, always 512, a version number of 2.0?\\  +
-u16 sampleRate: 0x02, usually 32000\\  +
-u32 numChannels:​ 0x04, usually 2 (may be preset)\\  +
-u32 adpcmData2Offset:​ 0x08, byte offset set to the second channel'​s adpcm data (relative to the header'​s end+all channel headers)\\  +
-u32 adpcmLoopStartOffset:​ 0x0C, byte loop start offset equal to 0xFFFFFFFF if not in use (relative to the start of the data itself)\\  +
-u32 adpcmData2OffsetAux1:​ 0x10, same as adpcmData2Offset\\  +
-u32 adpcmData2OffsetAux2:​ 0x14, same as adpcmData2Offset\\  +
-u32 adpcmLoopStartOffsetAux1:​ 0x18, if adpcmLoopOffset != 0xFFFFFFFF then same value else value is 0\\  +
-u32 adpcmLoopStartOffsetAux2:​ 0x1C, same as adpcmData2OffsetAux1\\  +
-u8  padding[32]:​ 0x20, 32 bytes unused +
- +
-*standard dspadpcm is after numChannels\\  +
-*after dspadpcm header is the first channel\\  +
-*second channel present? seek to the adpcmData20Offset to get the second channel'​s data\\  +
-*32 bytes of alignment between adpcm data blocks\\  +
-*then some unknown alignment or fixed amount of padding at the end of the file\\  +
-*which value indicates loopend offset is unknown\\  +
-*all game music loops from start to end\\  +
-*adpcmData2OffsetAux1 or adpcmData2OffsetAux2 may be loop end offset+
