What I am actually looking for are the 3 soundtracks for these 3 games.
I am certain that the game soundtracks a) contain more music or
b) different music not contained or c) not used or d) used differently (like
in video/game sequences)
in the games.

This is something I already have verified by listening to the tracks
of the Praetorians game and the samples on the site which has the covers for them.

As that is not possible (to actually find an accurate track by track list) I
already started
negotiations in trading with someone who has all three soundtracks. Wish me luck!


Dragon Unpacker does not work, tested this.

Looking over at the Eidos forums I was able to find someone
who created a utility to unpack the Praetorians' pak files.
Downloaded it, installed it, unpacked the musica pak file,
used winrar to open the newly created backup file
as suggested and now I do have the ingame music for Preatorians.

If anyone wishes for links let me know.

For Praetorians there are 8 music tracks (with .ogg extension)
which amount to a total of 39 minutes of music.
The Praetorians game soundtrack lists 20 music tracks
with a total of around 40 minutes, but having heard the samples,
the music is different.


Well, as some times I am a perfectionist, the whole of C2's soundtrack, is
not the whole C2 soundtrack.
We do have the ingame music (39 files) but not all the music or different
music.
And I am looking for both... or else what a commando fan am I? )))


Yes, I do remember and I have been going over there as well all the time.
There is the C2 PCK extractor for C2 (39 music files).
The Dragon Unpacker for C3 (55 music files).
The Pratorians' Decrypt Utility for Praetorians (8 music files).


Yes, it is. And I used it extensively (the naming of files) to create a
music list.
There wasn't one for C3 but I managed to pinpoint the music tracks to the
mission's music.
Also there isn't one for Praetorians.

So I need to update the faq too at some point in time.

I meant to update the FAQ about C3...silly boy.


Sure thing...when I get them.

You should not have fun when serious business is around...

After many many hours and days of search I finally managed to find a site
which has front and back covers (plus cd covers) for the Praetorians game.
The site also has some samples of the first three tracks in the game.

http://www.bysmitty.com/Soundtracks/Praetorians/Praetorians.htm

Now all we need to do is find someone who can pinpoint each track to each
sound track of the game itself.

Enjoy!

What exactly are you looking for? I have Praetorians, btw.

As I said again in the commandos soundtrack thread, a track by track
listing.
Do you have the game soundtrack of Praetorians? And C2 and C3?

Or do you know a way to extract the soundtrack? Should I use Dragon Unpacker
for Praetorians too as I did with C3?

I have no clue. But I have the whole of C2's soundtrack. We used the
PCK extractor to get that, don't you remember? AFAIK, its in the FAQ
as well.

We don't need one for Praetorians. I suggest we keep the FAQ on topic
:P

However, a list for Praetorians can be posted here.
All this C2 and C3 talk is making me wanna play them, but I know if I
install them, then I'm going to fail my exams coming up in July
