WAV sounds

[The Dark Lord]

Hi,
I want to use original KaM sounds (a pikeman saying 'troop halt'), but these have .snd extensions. Usually I use some online convertor to get them to this dreadful .wav format, but .snd is not recognized by any online convertor and I'd rather not download a program to do this...
Any tips?

Why can't you use KaM Remake's files? They're .wav files already...

Open them in hex editor and see if they are WAV in disguise (RIFF header) , if so - rename.

Hmm, I checked the 'Sounds' folder, I figured that would be a logic place to stash sound files.
I assumed KaM Remake just used the original TPR files but now I found them in data\sfx\. Thanks.

@Krom: I tried the renaming, but that makes the Remake crash

Try renaming them to mp2.
IIRC snd music files were mp2 in some KaM versions.

Indeed they are .mp2 files.
And for the audiophiles/data geeks I exported a little bit of data on one of the files (Thanks Steve Daulton for this plugin).
It's of the word "serfs".

All .mp2 files seem to all have the following start bytes: 0xFF 0xFD 0x20 0xC4 (start offset: 0)
Some fileformats have a small bit of text in the file header to identify them, these seem to not have that, yet these 4 seem to be the same on all the sound files I randomly picked from the sfx folder and it's sub-folders.
Could be to identify?
I think so as for MPEG that is: 0x00 0x00 0x01 0xB.. (start offset: 0)
