If you're talking about the Ealayer3 header, which starts with byte 05, etc., then yes, I'm removing it from the second file.

Please could you walk me through how you managed to accomplish this? I've successfully concatenated two files and the whole thing is looping, but every time I try to change the "loop start sample" bytes the file becomes unreadable.

The file is unreadable in vgmstream and the game? Or only in one of the options?

Unreadable in vgmstream and crashes the game.

Can I have an example or a screenshot of the first bytes of the file?

Here you go. My file is 44.1kHz stereo, so the bytes at 00 and 02 may differ slightly from yours.



I also uploaded the sound file to Google Drive if you'd like to play around with it.

Quick question, does anyone know where I can find the latest tutorial on replacing TS3's soundtrack?

If anyone is still interested in an encoder for the XAS format (.SNR starting with 04), there's one here: https://github.com/lgdel/eaxas/releases

This download is immediately flagged as containing a trojan virus.
Likely a false positive, but I would err on the side of caution given that this Github only appeared and uploaded this a few days ago. May need some time to be reviewed and have it marked as safe- if someone has a Github account it would help to report it so it gets checked.
