Dark Souls III Audio Extractor

This Python script makes it easy to extract the audio from Dark Souls 3 into '*.wav' format. It utilises existsing tools to extract the data, all this script does is combine them all together.

Installation

To install and run this project you will need to also download some external programs.

• First download/clone ds3_audio_extractor.py into your chosen directory.
• In the same directory create a folder called dependencies.
• Go to https://github.com/Atvaark/BinderTool/releases and download BinderTool.v0.5.2.zip. Extract this into the dependencies directory. The path to BinderTool.exe should look something like .../dependencies/BinderTool.v0.5.2/BinderTool.exe.
• Go to http://www.aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#fsbext and download 'FSB files extractor 0.3.8'. Drag and drop fsbext.exe into the dependencies folder.
• Go to https://github.com/CyberBotX/fsb5_split and compile the source. Rename the compiled program to fsb5_split.exe and drop it into the dependencies folder.
• Go to https://zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?t=1901 and download fmod_extractors.rar and fmod_dlls.rar. Extract fsb_aud_extr.exe and fmodL.dll into the dependencies folder.
• Your dependencies folder should look like the image below:

How to Use

You can either double-click the Python file or run it through the command line. Double-clicking will allow you to choose what configuration you want to run the program in. If you are running it for the first time, simply press r to run the script. (Be aware that this may take around 2.5 hours to complete).

You can use the following arguments to run the script from the command line:

Dark Souls 3 Audio Extracting Tool. If no arguments apart from --input and --output are specified, all options will
run by default. If an argument other than --input/--output is passed, the rest will become False by default. (e.g. if
--decrypt and --extract are passed, --unpack and --split will be False by default.)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Path to the folder containing 'DarkSoulsIII.exe'. (Defaults to the default Steam installation
                        folder)
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Path to output location. (Defaults to the 'output' folder in the current directory).
  -u, --unpack          Unpacks '*.bdt' files from the Dark Souls 3 directory.
  -d, --decrypt         Decrypts '*.fsb' files from the Dark Souls 3 '\sound' directory.
  -s, --split           Splits multitrack '*.fsb' files into individual '*.fsb' files. Requires unpacked and/or
                        decrypted files.
  -e, --extract         Extracts audio files from split '*.fsb' files into '*.wav' format.

Notes

The script will not unpack/decrypt/split/extract files if they have already have had that action applied to them (i.e. a file won't be decrypted if it already has been decrypted).
