Batman Arkham audio extractor with proper names

[daemon1]

This little tool will unpack the WAD file into chunks named according to bank names. Then you can split them into individual sounds and convert them with WAV splitting scripts.

batman_bnk [wad file]

Hash list included for "knight", "origins" & "city" games. It must be in the same folder. "Arkham Origins" game WAD contains a lot of redundant audio, not used in game. Some of them even spoken by female synth voice. These will have no proper names after unpacking, just hash.

update: Batman Arkham Knight support added.

update2: Batch files for unpacking music with proper names. Warning! Run the corresponding batch file, many music chunks have the same name: just "music".

update3: updated to support Arkham Knight DLC's about Redhood & Batgirl.

This is a scheme of how audio/subtitles relation works in Batman games. Every dialogue line has a corresponding audio event, and through the chain of IDs it points to sound segment in WAD file and the sound inside of it (or to the actual sound if it's embedded in a bank).

Thx deamon.

btw this does for music too?

[daemon1]

No, its only for voice WADs now. Music/sfx will be later.

Thanks, very useful.

Wait for music\sfx unpacking. (if not already)

[OrangeC]

Arkham Knight tool update should have already the .txt file to unpack the music bank.

In attach is version from 24.06.2015.

Try to unpack Music bank, but "Unsupported WAD version".

Or I miss something?

[spider91]

You can unpack music without names with .wad BMS script or even with ravioli tools and then decode it with ww2ogg & revorb.

[Researchman]

Know about it.

Off-topic: anyone knows how to do "for %%f in (*.wem) do ww2ogg.exe %%f --pcb packed_codebooks_aoTuV_603.bin" with batch mass folders with such a scheme?:

D:\2\qbms1\
D:\2\qbms1\SFX_1\
D:\2\qbms1\SFX_1\AMB_ACE_A2\
D:\2\qbms1\SFX_1\Music\
etc

try "for /r %%f..."

Try to unpack Music bank, but "Unsupported WAD version".

What file that is?

[Researchman]

Extracted Music file without extention from SFX_1.wad

try "for /r %%f..."

Thanks.

Extracted Music file without extention from SFX_1.wad

This is not music bank, nor WAD file.

Let's say, we have dialogue DLG_MAIN_CH02_S14_ACE_A1_ORAC_BM_ASSET

It has 2 sound files:
Main_Ch02_S14_Ace_A1_Orac_Bm_Asset_01
Main_Ch02_S14_Ace_A1_Orac_Bm_Asset_02

There's no need to extract these names from the real bank, they are too simple.

But it's different for music. All music segments are in one big bank, and it's not easy to find the relation between music events and these segments. Maybe I will try and find it, but it will take time.
