On March 22, exactly one year ago I joined Zenhax, so here's a short list of main tools I created during this time, not counting other small tools for miscellaneous games. Most of tools are for audio extracting/decoding/encoding, but sometimes they include working with archives, name hashing, and other things, like the recent Hitman 2016 project.
Thanks for everyone who provided me with material for interesting research, riddles and puzzles

Lots of Frostbite 2/3 python scripts & tools to dump archives / decode audio with proper names
Based on what's left of Frankelstner's work, corrected and restored, partly rewritten, they are in a mess now, because every game usually require its own combination of archive format/compression, but I was able to make it work for all games I was asked to, including:
- Army of Two The Devils Cartel
- Battlefield 3
- Battlefield 4
- C&C Generals
- Dragon Age Inquisition
- STAR WARS Battlefront

Re: List of audio related tools made or corrected by id-daemon
Hello. I downloaded the Koeitecmo extractor files, but when I place the files in the LINKDATA folder, and run the exe, it does not work. It crashes immediately. I am using this for Berserk and the Band of the Hawk game, which has 4 LINKDATA files. I am not sure how to fix this or use it in this case.
