BG3 WWise Base Project

Quick note, I am not a WWise expert or Sound Engineer. I will not be able to assist with WWise itself or the creation of sound events. Please reach out to the modding community through their servers vs contacting me.

Description

This includes a WWise Base project to be utilized for processing and adding any new music or sounds to BG3. While you can utilize this project to generate your Dialogue .wems for BG3, they follow a different import process than what is documented below.

In order to utilize this project, you need the following:

- WWise v2022. 1. 4

- WWise Project: Requested through AudioKinetic

- WWise Motion License: Requested through AudioKinetic. (Note: This may not be required based on which buses you utilize.)

- WWise Mastering Suite License: Requested through AudioKinetic. (Note: This may not be required based on which buses you utilize.)

- MoonGlasses: Or a similar modding solution

- LsLib Modding Tools: Necessary to convert SoundBanks.lsx and GameplaySoundBanks.lsx to their .lsf version for mod ingestion

This project currently exports an init.bnk that is very close to Larian's with the majority of the same ids and structure. There are still some things that do not match exactly which is why this project does not currently support adding custom buses, sharesets, or gamesyncs. I will continue working on it to try to get it to match exactly in the future so that these can be supported.  Future updates to support this may require you to recreate your project and migrate any sounds and events to a new WWise project file.

Additionally, many of the names are gibberish and false positives. I will continue to try to find the actual names but this will take time. I will release text files with new names as more are found for manual updates of projects download previously. These can be updated directly within the existing WWise project and will not require any project migrations.

How to Utilize the WWise Project

- First install WWise v2022. 1. 4 and obtain the required project and licenses.

- Open the project and configure it to include your project information and licenses.

- Begin creating sounds and events

- Export finalized banks

There is a Init_Config soundbank already included. This bank is strictly to ensure specific objects are created within the init.bnk exported by the project. You should not modify or add to this bank.

DO NOT MODIFY ANY BUSES, SHARESETS, OR GAMESYNCS.

How to Import Custom Banks into Mods

Required Toolkit Files:

This is currently required as the toolkit does not currently autogenerate these like it should. You will need to continuously update these files as you add additional banks. These are located in the file_templates.z
