A collection of various Saints Row: The Third file tools related to audio files

bnk_pc_extract & bnk_pc_pack

Audio archives extractor and packer for .bnk_pc files in Volition games, specifically Saints Row: The Third. I fixed up the code from my radio file extractor and added support to extracting DMAV metadata included with voiced soundclips. So far I've only actually tested this with the radio stations and a couple voice acting sound banks, but it should work with all other files in theory. Also have fun decoding the DMAV metadata, which contains subtitles among other things.

How to use

• Easy way: Drag and drop the *_media.bnk_pc files over bnk_pc_extractor, and it will extract all the sound files to the folder the *_media.bnk_pc file is in. (You might want to copy it to its own folder before dragging and dropping it.)
• Hard way/repacking files: Run the programs in the command line and follow the instructions it gives for the two programs.

How to make .wav files usable

Download and run them through ww2ogg. Make sure to pick up revorb from there too. Drag and drop the .wav over ww2ogg, and the .ogg it makes over revorb.

How to make your own .wav files for packaging

Follow steps 5-12 in my Custom Radio Stations Guide. Note that it's possible that other types of sounds use other settings than those in the guide, but I'm pretty sure they all at least use Vorbis.
