Hitman Audio Tool v1.0.0

Initial release of the Hitman Audio Tool

Features

• Full support of import and export of the Hitman: Codename 47 .idx/.bin pairs existing entries
  • Support for adding new ones is not planned for now
• Full supports of import and export of the Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and Hitman 3: Silent Assassin .whd/.wav pairs + streams.wav existing entries
  • Support for adding new ones is not planned for now
• Automatically convert input data to exact game format
  • Note that reimported files won't be 100% the same, but they will have exact same format (unless user tunes the options)
  • Tool can also import all audio in highest quality as PCM 16-bit signed WAVs
  • Conversions can be completely disabled, in which case tool tries to import data directly
• Automatically ignore unchanged original files from original archives when trying to import
  • This feature can be turned off in case someone wants to reimport original files also for whatever reason
• Currently 2 supported languages - English and Czech
  • New localizations can be added by copying data/localization/English.toml, translating the entries and placing the copied file back into data/localization
  • For example, you could create Deutsch.toml which would contain translations to German language and place it in the mentioned folder
  • New option would then appear in the Options tab under Language

Future

• Definitely some more cleanup/refactor of the source code
  • Code is clean enough to be readable and usable I would say, but it lacks comments and there is still a lot of duplication all around
  • Some parts are also glued together from my previous projects, so there is inconsistent styling and some other stuff...
  • I would still consider the tool in its early stages, but it can do much more for old Hitman 1, 2 and 3 games than the old Hitman Audio Tool floating around the internet (not mentioning it not correctly interpreting parts of the data, making exports broken and import from these exports impossible)
• I would like to expand this beyond older Hitman titles to all Glacier 1 games
• Freedom Fighters should be technically already in working state also, just have to update few smaller things in the tool
• Potential rename of the tool (considering it should support all Glacier 1 games....)
• Version 1.0.0 tagged code contains Hitman: Blood Money WIP code which seems to work for exports
  • This code is currently locked under debug builds, so you have to build the tool yourself if you want to try this feature out for now
  • Will be made as part of regular release when I figure out enough to be able to reliably import the files back and save the archives
