• Q: What is WWISE?
• A: It is a sound engine by audiokinetic: link

 

• Q: How do I put my sounds to the game?
• A: You need to create Sound Bank, load it, and assign events from the sound bank to the game events.
         Or you can replace sounds in existing sound bank
• E.g. How to create voiceover bank: 

 

• Q: How do I listen to or extract sounds from the sound banks?
• A: You can use Ravioli Game Tools version 2.9 and up. There is other tools which allow you to extract wem files

 

• Q: What is .wem file?
• A: It is special sound format used by wwise. File usually starts with RIFF header and can contain 3 different formats: wwise pcm wav, wwise adpcm wav, wwise ogg vorbis. All formats are not standard and needs to be converted before you can play them in player.

 

• Q: Extracted wem files have strange names, what does them means?
• A: Sound Bank does not contain names of files, only IDs. These names are numeric IDs in hex or dec format.

 

• Q: How WoT knows which sound to play if wem files have only IDs?
• A: In sound banks stored all necessary hierarchy to play sounds. Game uses events (event names) to produce sounds. Simplified process is: WoT -> Send Event (ID, name) -> Event Sound Bank -> SFX -> WEM sound stream.

 

• Q: How do I get all event names in the sound bank (bnk file)?
• A: In general, it is not possible, because there is no event names in bnk file, only event Id's.

 

• Q: But there is a lists of events in WoT client
• A: Yes, they are extracted from configuration xml files, or from logs, or even guessed.

 

• Q: How to create wem file? 
• A: You can use Wwise to create wem files

  Your files may be found in the folder we specified in the "Location" field. 
  Exact address is as follows: YourLocation/ProjectName/GeneratedSoundBanks/Windows

  To differentiate between the files, open the .TXT file with the name of the bank. 
  It contains names with numbers and their corresponding 'old' file names.

Well, you have several possibilities to achieve the result. You will need Audiokinetik Wwise to create banks or to convert music to wem format, and any other tool (like Audacity) to convert songs to wav format.

Standard event names for music

1. You can create your own bank, using techniques described in Voiceover Creation topic, use your own event names
   1. Loaded sounds should be marked as streamed, optionally pack to pck file
   2. Load your new music bank using mods or xml configuration.
   3. Redefine events using mods or xml configuration to use your events instead of standard
       
2. You can create sound bank with name ExternalMusicSources.bnk, and name your events as standard events
   1. Loaded sounds should be marked as streamed, optionally pack to pck file
   2. Put new ExternalMusicSources.bnk, ExternalMusicSources.pck or wem files to res_mods/0.9.15.0.1/audioww
       
3. You can replace some sounds in ExternalMusicSources.pck:
   1. Extract all wem files from ExternalMusicSources.pck using R.G.T 2.9 to res_mods/0.9.15.0.1/audioww
   2. Put this placeholder ExternalMusicSources.pck to the same catalogue:   ExternalMusicSources.zip   176bytes
   3. Replace wem files you want to change with your own wem files
4. Same as above, but pack wem files to ExternalMusicSources.pck
