Greeting fellow mechwarrior!

After the recent video on mechwarrior 2 sound effect replacements I was inspired to rip the sound effects from mechwarrior 4 and progress has been very good. However, I've reached a point where I have found the audio files but they are in a strange format. .audio. Changing the name from .audio to .wav does not work either, nor does trying to open it in FMod. Does anyone have any suggestions?


EDIT: SOLVED! Expect a repack of all sound effects in Mechwarrior 4 for free!.. in a few days

Open in a hex editor, compare the first and last lines with some known audio format files.

So if any of the filetypes match up, does that mean I should be able to rename the .audio file to that file type? Or are there some more steps to follow.

Yes, but beware the mw4 files are sometimes multiple files in a wrapper. For instance, their texture files are actually several files stuck end to end with the file type info removed. I think they were tiffs.
