Audio modding; changing loop points / adding longer tracks

tbh I don't really have much time right now to help out, I'm sure there's other members here that are more active with the sound modding
but the occasional question, sure (but keep in mind I don't own DmC 5...)

if DmC 5 is anything like RE2, then the dlc soundtrack might be in a seperate folder
RE2 has seperate folders for each dlc in the same directory as the game's .exe
those folders contain .pak files

"Hi. I just signup today.
I really enjoy to edit game files..
I started editing games when I was 16 years old using this forum and others
My Tries was more successful on BGM modding.."

I'm trying to make BGM mod for DMC5. "Editing DMC4 sets DLC Soundtracks for DMC5"

I know how to make .wem files and music mods working on game..

I'm just a few confused on this step..
"bgm_dlc_set_04.bnk.2.x64"

BGM mod working.. playing but BGM become muted after reaching a few below of ending B Part.. and It won't play again..

I couldn't find that headaches 4 bytes.. ^^

I think that's because I didn't change 4 bytes to 0 on float..
or..
somewhere I did wrong..


Help me When you Had Time.. I'm still trying to make it.. ^^

Thanks for your Epic Tutorial..

So I'm very new to modding games, this is my very first mod ever and I'm quite newbie ,  the song that I'm trying to replace to start with is the one that plays when either Leon or Claire are running trough the streets before arriving the R.P.D., but I'm not sure what am I doing wrong


Sample from the original  song:



The steps that I did were as follows:



1: I downloaded the song I wanted to use and converted into a wav file with a sample rate of 44,100 HZ ( The original WEM song on the PCK has a length of 1:47 minutes, my replacement song has a length of 1:45 minutes)



2: I converted the WAV intro a WEM using Wwise with this guide



3: I extracted the re_dlc_000.pak file from the classic soundtrack DLC located in the 920567 folder from the game using Crazy Potato's guide


4: I located the file music_dlc_classic.pck.3.x64 inside the extracted PAK going trough natives/x64/streaming/sectionroot/sound/wwise I made a backup and renamed it to "music_dlc_classic_Modded.pck" deleting ".3.x64" from in order to read it with wwiseutil-gui and adding "_MODDED" to know it's the one what I'm working with



5: I launched the wwiseutil-gui and opened the new renamed "music_dlc_classic_MODDED.pck" and exported the WEMS



6: I converted the WEMs into OGGs using the tool that Reikaz uploaded some time ago in order to identify the song I want to replace.

According to wwiseutil-gui, the song is - 45.Wem ID:1039629503 size: 2480081 bytes Offset: 0x4838943



7: I renamed the WEM I want to use for replacement with the same ID is the original ( I think that's not necessary but I did it just in case and also to avoid getting confused)



I followed this guide to perform the next steps...


8: I used the wwiseutil-gui to replace the song and saved the changes in music_dlc_classic_MODDED.pck, compared to the original file, the new WEM replacement shows size: 1778157 bytes (smaller) , the offset in .45 WEM stayed the same, the one that changed was on .46 WEM, the one below ( it changed from 0x4A96114 to 0x49EAB30 ( not sure if that's supposed to happen)



9: I launched the HEX editor (HxD) and opened both the music_dlc_classic_MODDED.pck that I've been working with and a backup the of music_dlc_classic.pck.3.x64 file located in "natives\x64\sectionroot\sound\wwise" ( not "natives\x64\streaming\sectionroot\sound\wwise")

and compared both files.



10: I copied the stuff from my modded pck all the way from the start up to the point where it says 'RIFFL..' , I went back to the music_dlc_classic.pck.3.x64, I pressed CTRL + B in order the to replace the HEX data ( all the numbers and letters thingies went red) then I saved both files.



11: I renamed music_dlc_classic_MODDED.pck to it's original name "music_dlc_classic.pck.3.x64"



12: I made a rar file including all the edited files with the routes

natives/x64/streaming/sectionroot/sound/wwise/music_dlc_classic.pck.3.x64

natives/x64/sectionroot/sound/wwise/music_dlc_classic.pck.3.x64





13: I copied the RAR file into the Games/RE2R/Mods folder from FluffyQuack's mod manager and activated the test mod trough the manager.



Now launching the game and the original DLC music plays the same way as if I didn't do anything at all...


Could anyone lend me a hand on this ? 

Hmm.. I could try that, I'm not sure how though, do I need to repack the PCK files into a PAK? ... I did all the previous steps correctly didn't I? 

Thanks again for replying nsnake, I tried your advice, this time it looks like the whole classic soundtrack remained silent, the only  music that still plays is the one that it's still kept from the remake 

I've run into some trouble. There's a particular track I want to replace, but it only has 2 groups with the corresponding ID number rather than 4. What does this mean?

It's the lab music that I am trying to change, which I believe does not play from start to finish. The problem is I'm unsure of what to change here as there's less loop segments as well as some other differences as well. Notice how there's only one 'HÖ»[' in my screenshot:
