Extracting Audio from Just Survive (H1Z1) Wwise Sound Banks

Post by gilroes »

Hi there

I'm trying to extract audio from these sound banks and it does not work, I think there is some zlib compression on the files which is making is unable to extract, could someone point me in the right direction?

Here is the zip and VirusTotal links:

They are compressed with zlib, so you can use offzip to decompress. The resulting file is a WWise bank with a 16-byte header, so delete the first 16 bytes and rename as .bnk and it'll play in Foobar with vgmstream. And then you can also use this tool on the bnk files: https://github.com/bnnm/wwiser
