SAFFTracks

Do you ever struggle of re-encoding your music to MP3 before putting it to GTA San Andreas? With this plugin, say goodbye to re-encoding frustration.

This plugin replaces the User Tracks decoder engine to FFmpeg which supports lots of audio formats. You can simply drop your songs to User Tracks folder and this plugin will make sure to load your audio using FFmpeg instead of GTASA's own. Opus audio? AAC? Other non-mainstream audio formats? This plugin can play those as long as FFmpeg supports it.

Building

Requirements:

• FFmpeg 5.1 or later, compiled for Windows 32-bit

• CMake 3.1 or later

• GTASA US 1.0 HOODLUM/Compact

Ensure you build FFmpeg first, then use CMake to compile the project.

rem assume %FFMPEG% contain path where it has "lib" and "include"
cmake -Bbuild -H. -A Win32 -DLIBAV_LIB_DIR=%FFMPEG%\lib -DLIBAV_INCLUDE_DIR=%FFMPEG%\include -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%CD%\install
cmake --build build --config Release --target install

You'll found the ASI plugin in install.

Protip: You can also set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to your GTASA installation directory.

Installation

So you have the ASI plugin compiled or downloaded now. Place all the DLLs into your GTASA directory. Ensure you have ASI loader beforehand.

Special Thanks

Special thanks to Code Nulls Discord for guiding me to reverse engineer the underlying User Tracks code. This would took very long time without them.
