OST when?

[BurlsoL]

Forget the whole p2w thing, I'm asking the important question.

Hopefully we can rip the soundtrack files from the PC version. I tried ripping them from the PS4 one but couldn't figure out the file format.

If you're ripping them make them in mp3 format for music. That way you can regulate the bitrates accordingly, an alternative is m4a, but it's not as widespread or as compressed so I'd stick to mp3.

I mean the file format of the game files. I think it was some sort of Wwise format but none of the tools I found worked to convert or play it.

Oh I see what you're saying, now bare with me I haven't ripped music off of a CD/DVD in like 10 years but if memory serves when it comes to proprietary content on PS's and Xbox stuff they used to convert the entire file like an .ISO and hide the content inside it, to make it impossible to rip the files outright, so what you would have to do is find a piece of software to first open up the compression of whatever they used and only then would you have access to the individual files. Now I would like to tell you what software that is but at this point I honestly don't know. Search around for PS4 conversion software I'm sure you'll find it.

Yeah I dunno, it was a while ago, but I recall the files had a bunch of Unreal Engine data in them as well as data that looked like WAV when viewed in a Hex editor. Couldn't find a tool that'd work with it, though.

Will probably try it again when it comes out on PC.

Was more looking for something official. Their site had mentioned releasing an OST when the game came out on PS4.

Yeah that's kinda dead in the water, probably issues with licensing. Their site doesn't seem to mention it anymore.

If they do make an offical OST release it will be an independent DLC.

I've ripped the soundtrack but my upload speed is awful. If you'd like to rip it yourself you can do so with this Unreal Package Extractor (under "Other tools")[www.gildor.org].

Look for the files with BGM in the name under:

steamapps\common\LET IT DIE\BrgGame\CookedPCConsole

Once extracted find files ending in the extension .SoundNodeWave and rename them to .ogg.

As far as I'm aware, the files don't have any information as to what tracks they are. If anyone would like to help figure them out, I'd be grateful if you noted them down on this spreadsheet[docs.google.com].

There might be a place in the game files where the titles are linked to tracks but I haven't found it yet.

I'll help out. I'm a little uneducated though-- is there a faster way to unpack these than dropping each one individually on the .exe? And a fast way to rename them all to .ogg..... I found some kind of .bat for it, but I have no idea what I'm doing with it even with the included instructions.

...Also what kind of suffix would I be looking for if I meant to search for NPC dialogue? I'd like to rip all of Uncle Death's lines if I could. lol

[diji]

Okay, got 'em uploaded:

Original OGG files[drive.google.com]

Converted to MP3[drive.google.com] (encoded with LAME -V2 as the files are of bitrates 110 Kbps or less, and I wanted a little wiggle room)

Sure, what I did was make a Powershell script. I'm not a big user of Powershell but this worked for me:

$files = Get-ChildItem ".\*.upk"

foreach ($file in $files) {.\extract.exe -extract "$file"}

Paste this into a text file and rename it so it ends in .ps1. Make sure it's in the same folder as both extract.exe and the .upk files you want to extract, then right click it and click Run with PowerShell. Instructions for Windows 10, could be different on others.

As for where to find Uncle Death's voice overs, I haven't got a solid answer, but I can give you two ideas:

First, I found some of Naomi's lines in Cafe_BG_Naomi_LOC_INT.upk. Some files end in LOC_INT or LOC_JPN. JPN being Japanese voiceovers (perhaps text too, but I've only found voiceovers so far) and INT being English.

Once you have them extracted, what I did to mass rename them was simply grab the .SoundNodeWave files, dump them in one folder, then open a command prompt and run a rename with wildcards like so:

ren *.SoundNodeWave *.ogg

There are a lot of LOC_INT and LOC_JPN files, and it's not guaranteed that the voiceovers will be in them, but I'd say it's a good start given the logic of the filenames. On a related note, files starting with SN_ seem to be for sounds. SN_VOX being voices (includes various things like character grunts) and SN_BGM being music.

There are some Uncle Death lines in AS_CH_NPC_Death_SF_LOC_INT.upk but it's nowhere near all of them, so I'm guessing his lines in cutscenes and throughout the story are somewhere else.

Just dropping an update, thanks to a lot of help we've got the radio tracks all listed. Haven't tagged and uploaded the files themselves yet but if you've got the files on hand it shouldn't be too hard to mass retag them with the spreadsheet info.

So I dumped almost everything in my search for those voice clips (found them all and will be uploading them later) and I found the uploaded music rips are missing a few tracks.
I've separated it into two folders: Ones that are listed on the spreadsheet and ones that aren't. (which may just be cutscene versions or differently named dupes of tracks already covered in one of those subfolders, but hey, may as well have them just in case.)

First of all, thank you guys for uploading all this.

Radio Music #2 - #102 seem to be the non-ambient tracks; i.e., the songs I wanted.

Is there a list out there of the titles and/or artists per song?

Interesting, I've added the missing tracks to the "Additional" part of the spreadsheet. Thanks!

Yep! That's precisely what my spreadsheet[drive.google.com] project aimed to achieve. We've got all the radio tracks labelled now. :) If you just want the tracks in MP3 format already tagged, I've got your back[drive.google.com].
