Fallout intro music / Ron Perlman audio

☢ Mysterious Stranger ☢
Is there any way to get audio files for the Fallout (1) intro and Ron Perlman audio? (Download, extract, look in the right folder, etc...) I know "Maybe" is available in the Music folder, but it's the end-credits version, not the skipping-record version.

I'm planning to burn a Fallout soundtrack CD to listen to as I drive through the more desolate parts of the countryside on my road trip this weekend and thought it would be cool to open the CD with the opening audio from the Fallout intro.

I couldn't find any info. on this in a forum search, so if someone can point me to the appropriate thread if it exists, I'll be grateful and mollified all at once. (If there is no such animal, then I'll be grateful for any help finding / extracting the audio.) Thanks!

:cool: :oops: :crazy:

None of the places you linked to has the audio from the game introduction that I'm asking about. (No version of "Maybe" that "skips" partway through and ends abruptly; no Ron Perlman "war never changes" speech.) The remastered soundtrack is cool, though, and I appreciate the link.

Still looking ...

The soundtrack to the movies is a part of the movie, not a separate file.

I'm not aware of any existing tools to extract the audio component from the movie format that fallout uses. (That doesn't mean they definitely don't exist; it wouldn't hurt to look.) I would suggest you find a sound recording program, set it to the 'what you hear' channel (or whatever your sound cards equivalent is,) set it to record, run fallout to the opening menu, quit, then cut out the relevant bits from the recording.
 
Yep, what Timeslip said. Download this program for example ( http://no23-recorder.pro.de/ - sorry, couldn't find a non german link, but the program is english), set it to "what you can hear", click record, start the game, let the intro play, then close the game with alt+F4 etc and press stop. You can save it as .wav , .mp3 or .ogg.
 
Appreciate the tips. I'm concerned about audio quality degredation, though, from recording with a separate program during playing of the intro in-game.

The intro video itself must be embedded in the Fallout .exe file or something then, and not extractable? (If we had the .avi file or whatever, then extracting the audio would be trivial.)

You can grab Ron Perlman's files for F1&F2 here (mp3 format):

Fallout2 :

Fallout1 :
http://www.fallout-3.com/audio/download/2470/F1_Intro_Ron_Perlman.mp3

The video files are located in your master.dat (art\cuts) in the .mve
format.
They can be extracted with datexplorer (http://www.fallout-3.com/files/datexpl.zip) but I'm not sure it exists a software that can convert them to .avi (take a look at the teamx website :
http://teamx.ru/)

Hope that helps!

Which editor works best for Fallout 1 .dat files? I can get into the master.dat file in Fallout 2 with DatExplorer, but not Fallout 1.

(I don't speak Russian, or I'd explore the TeamX site, too. :-) )

I don't speak russian either but I use google translation ;)

For browsing the Fallout1 master.dat you can use F1 Mini-DatMan, IIRC it works well, but as you can see, you have quite some choice :

Oh, and if you take a look at the video utilities, you will find a software called mve2avi! I think it's what you're looking for !

I haven't tried it but it shouldn't be too difficult to use ;)

Thanks, Aguirre: the Fallout 1 Mini-DatMan and MVE to AVI converter (8-bit) tools were exactly what I needed.

Before, I was using Audacity to tinker with combining the separate "Maybe" and "Ron Perlman" tracks along with some of the "Wind" tracks. I got a pretty good approximation of the overall intro audio eventually (and had fun getting better with using Audacity), but having the actual audio was what I really wanted. MVE to AVI (with the -split switch) extracted the .wav file from the intro video with no problems. Now I'm a happy camper. :D
