Extracting Game Audio

It is recommended to do all of your extracting in the SAME disk drive (ex: C:\)

Extracting Tools

AtlanResourceExtractor by FlavorfulGecko5 - Download
Exports all audio types from SND files and converts them to WAV.

Make sure you have at least 14 GB of storage if you plan on extracting MUSIC.
6 GB for SFX, 8 GB for VO (for all languages).

Extraction Instructions

• Extract the contents of AtlanResourceExtractor somewhere on your machine.
• Open the extractor_config.txt file.
• Set -> input_folder = "DOOMEternal installation directory"
  ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal"
• Set -> output_folder = "desired output directory"
  ex: "C:\Atlan_Output"
• Set -> run_audio_extractor = 1
• Set -> run_soundbank_extractor = 1
• In the audio_extractor field, remove the // comments appending the audio types you wish to extract (under DOOM Eternal).
• Save the extractor_config.txt file.
• Run the AtlanResourceExtractor.exe file.

All audio files are converted to the WAV sound format to preserve quality and reduce the number of steps to convert them to WEM with Wwise.

Audio Editing

Download an audio-editing tool of your choice, such as Audacity - Download

1. Edit the audio files in your audio-editing tool.
2. For replacing audio without making any adjustments to a PCK file, make sure that your edits match the start and end length of the audio track.
   
3. SFX, VO, & MUSIC: Convert all of the audio you want to export to WAV (32 bit for high quality).

Wwise Launcher (MUSIC) - Atlan Mod Loader & idStudio

Create an audiokinetic account (use free trial) and install Audiokinetic Launcher - Download

Adding Audio to your Mod

1. Create a folder in your Atlan mod called audio.
2. Copy your converted WEM file(s) in there and make sure they have the same ID as the audio file you want to replace. Any content prior to id# is irrelevant.
   ex: samuelsbase_music_main_heavy_0_0_id#15098487.wem
3. Package your mod, then run the AtlanModLoader.

Audio File Extensions

These are the audio file types you will be interacting with.

.wav

Edited SFX, VO, & MUSIC files must be converted into the WAV format before they can be converted into WEM files.
WAV files SHOULD NOT be included in your mod.
Example:
cultist_base_music_main_heavy_0_id#156134790.wav

.wem

The format that SFX, VO, & MUSIC files have been converted into the WEM format.
WEM files SHOULD be include in your mod.
Example:
cultist_base_music_main_heavy_0_id#156134790.wem

.snd

These contain the audio files. They CANNOT be directly modified by a conventional audio editor.
Instead, tools are used to extract individual audio audio files.
Example:
music.snd

.pck

These contain the audio resources. They CANNOT be directly modified by a conventional audio editor.
However, Fusion Tools can directly modify PCK files.
Example:
mus.pck

PCK files modified by Fusion Tools are not supported by the Atlan Mod Loader.
which is a program that allows certain mods type to be injected.

See Creating Audio Mods for more information.
