BnkExtractor

Wwise

BnkExtractor is a library for parsing and extracting content from Wwise soundbank files. It handles the proprietary .bnk container format used by Audiokinetic Wwise and extracts .wem audio files embedded within. The tool is designed for reverse engineering workflows, asset recovery, and technical analysis of Wwise-integrated games. It provides programmatic access to soundbank structures without requiring the original Wwise project files.

DCSS Remastered Audio

Standalone

DCSS Remastered Audio retrofits the native, unmodified Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Windows Tiles executable (x86, 0.34) with an adaptive soundtrack and overlapping sound effects. It works by replacing winmm.dll with a proxy DLL that intercepts sndPlaySoundW calls, forwarding audio events and state-change marker paths over a named pipe to a Python/pygame-ce Audio Director process that runs a multi-channel mixer with per-branch crossfades and HP-based ducking. The approach requires no source code changes and no recompilation. Game state (current branch, HP, events) is extracted via a sandboxed Lua ready() hook that calls crawl.playsound() with marker filenames — the proxy reads the filename rather than playing it, maps it to a mixer command, and the Director responds accordingly. SFX are synthesized locally via make_sfx.py; CC-BY music (Kevin MacLeod) is fetched from an external source at setup time via fetch_music.py. A companion graphics layer extends the same architecture to video post-processing: a second proxy DLL (opengl32.dll) IAT-hooks gdi32!SwapBuffers and reads a shared-memory block written by the same Director process, applying GLSL fragment shader effects (color grading, vignette, bloom pulses) keyed to game state — all without touching the game binary.

Rewwise

Wwise · Standalone

Rewwise is a CLI toolset for extracting and repacking Wwise .bnk soundbanks from FromSoftware titles (Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, Nightreign). It converts a .bnk file into a folder of .wem audio files plus a soundbank.json describing the event routing, bussing, music looping, and other bank metadata. Editing the folder contents and dragging it back onto the tool recreates a .created.bnk ready for use with ModEngine2. The extracted .wem files can be played or converted with vgmstream. Injecting custom audio requires encoding to .wem first, which still requires Wwise Studio itself. The soundbank.json gives readable access to the internal Wwise object graph, making it useful for understanding how audio events are wired without a full Wwise project.

wwiser

Wwise

wwiser is a parser for Wwise .bnk banks that reads and displays all bank chunks, including HIRC (audio scripting) data with properly identified fields. It cannot modify banks but provides comprehensive analysis of Wwise's internal structure. The tool's primary use case is generating TXTP files that allow vgmstream to simulate Wwise's audio playback, including complex features like dynamic music stems and layered audio. It handles both Wwise's sound module (simple SFX) and music module (realtime-mixed stems), attempting to recreate the engine's behavior in a static playback format. wwiser supports automatic name resolution from companion files like SoundbanksInfo.xml or custom name lists, and provides both a web-based viewer and command-line interface for exploring bank contents. It works with nearly all .bnk versions except the earliest two used in Shadowrun and Too Human.
