NS3 Bundle format

Post by OldTomCat »

Is there a standard file format for bundles? have been trying unsuccessfully to download a bundle in .ns3sbundle format (on this forum Corley Worship Bundle). My NS3 (os 1.40) and Sound Manager (7.30) only seems to recognise .ns3fb files. What am I doing wrong please?

You might try renaming the file to ns3fb

+1 or rename it to .zip, unzip it and then load Programs and Samples separately.

Thanks guys , am afraid I am computer unsavvy. Renaming the downloaded .ns3sbundle file does NOT change its properties, merely its name! Would love to be able to unzip it as I only want to use ONE of its five patches. How do I change its properties to something (.ns3f/.ns3fb) that Sound Manager can recognise? Answers on a postcard please!

With all respect:

If you are “computer unsavvy”, why are you arguing with advice KNOWN AND TESTED to work, rather than trying it?

Renaming a Nord bundle to .zip does indeed not change its actual file format, but since the thing is a bog-standard zip file with the extension changed to let the Nord Sound Manager know that it contains files the Nord will understand, it really doesn’t need to for you to make it work.
