Damn, I've never heard an .ras file. You sure it's not .rar?

[Cornbread]

nope, .ras...it sucks, because i can't find anything for it. it is a file that is in "max payne" for the music. i found a utility program for the game, but lol, i doesn't work.

Easiest way is to move rasmaker.exe(and the other file in that folder) to your Max Payne directory(same one that contains the .ras files). Then, in a command prompt, 'cd' into your Max Payne directory, then type(without quotes) "rasmaker -x x_data.ras"

Do that for each .ras file. Or you might be able to get away with just "rasmaker -x *.ras" not sure though, didn't try it.

After you do this, make sure your remove the original .ras files from your Max Payne directory, or you will get duplication errors.

cornbread, I got no friggin clue what they are talking about doing. I've seen the CD prompt used in dos, before , but no idea how. Post over at norm's, I know he can tell you what to do, or, you could try posting at that forum http://www.veforums.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Max+Payne+Discussion+Forum&number=33

sorry man, I will try and read some more about it

when he says "cd" into it he means change the directory there..

like

chdir C:\max payne\rasfile\ etc etc

then once there you can run rasmaker.exe and its switches

hey cornbread, forget it, I found what you are looking for exactly. The caption on the download even says for people that are unfamiliar with dos commands. http://www.maxpaynecenter.com/downloads/index.phtml?id=90021&language=en :D

[Joe]

do it liek this to extract them

rasmaker.exe -x x_music.ras C:\temp



change x_music.ras to whatever one you want to extract... and change C:\temp to where you want it extracted.. there can be spaces so try %20 or use C:\temp

x_music.ras doesnt contain any gun sounds or voices just music.. lol like when you get to a heated scene of battle and the music plays..

Well saying 'cd' is a unix command to change directories so that probably threw him off... he knows what to do now im sure

thanks guys, getting ready to try it again...:D
