[HELP] Back 4 Blood: Extracting Audio Files

Post by SweetCherry »

I’ve managed to extract pak files, there is bunch of uasset and wem files. I’ve already tried to convert wem files to ogg using ww2ogg and it resulted in nothing. Where do I go from here, please give me a solution, a hint, anything.
To be clear: I’ve never done such kind of thing before, this is my first-time extracting game files...

.wem files should play in Foobar with the vgmstream plugin, no need to convert first.

If that doesn't work, then upload some sample .wem files

You've just attached some blank .wem files, so they won't play as there's nothing in them at all.

You'll need to extract the files correctly from the .pak file first. I don't know how you extracted them, but it doesn't seem like it was the right method.

Alright, so I exported it again and for some reason file sizes are now there, looks like it’s working for me.

Okey, maybe you can use the FMODEL. Cause the tools can export from WEM to WAV files.

For some reason Fmodel keep saying "no archives found in given directory yet".
