Custom Audio Compiler Scripts

These scripts can be used to quickly convert OGG files to FSB (Audio format), then pack them together in a CSB (Audio archive) for use with Audiomod Core. (My custom CSB loader mod)

This is especially useful / necessary to make custom soundpacks for the Randomizer Edition, but is helpful for any kind of audio mod.

MP3 and WAV files are also semi-supported, but may not load properly.

How to use:

• []Fetch your desired sounds in . OGG format[/]

  []Place your OGG audio files in the Converter folder.[/]

  []Run Convert FSBs.bat. FSB files will be created in the FSBs folder. Choose whether to delete the source files (Y) or keep them (N).[/]

  []Move your desired FSBs into the CSB_Input folder[/]

  []Run Create CSBs.bat. It will output custom_1.csb in the root folder.[/]

  []Install the custom csb in \Dying Light\DW\Data\ using Audiomod Core. (call it custom_1, _2, _3, etc)[/]

  First-time install:

  Due to Nexus Mods' safety rules I cannot provide the Devtools .exe and .dll files in the mod itself.

  You will have to download the Dying Light 1 Developer Tools on Steam to acquire them.

  • []Install the Dying Light 1 Developer Tools if you haven't yet. Find them in your Steam Library's "Tools" category. (Check the dropdown)[/]

    []Navigate to the devtools' FSB folder, default location  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light Developer Tools\FSB[/]

    []Copy the 6 files from this folder to the "\DL1 Audio Compiler\resources\" folder. This should be FSBCompiler.exe, FSBLinker.exe, fmodex.dll, fsbanklibex.dll, libogg.dll, and libvorbis.dll.[/]

    []The scripts are now ready for use, and you can uninstall the Dying Light Developer Tools again, if you want.[/]

    Extra notes:

    • []To correctly override a game sound, a CSB needs to contain an FSB that has exactly the same name as the original sound.

      Find a list of all sound names in the Optional Files section.[/]

      []Custom CSBs load separately after the main game files. That means updates and Steam file verification won't uninstall them! Hurray for modularity.[/]

      []Custom CSBs can be any size, but work most reliably when they stay small, especially for the main menu theme "dw_menu.fsb".[/]

      [*]To replace an existing game sound, you must match the original FSB file name from an original CSB. For example, to replace the song on the radio in the University saf
