Questions regarding sound files

See original GitHub issue

Hey so i’m messing around with sounds trying to build a nice viewer for them as it’s kinda hard to go through them at the moment and I’m just wondering about the process of extracting some of these sounds.

A recent change you made to the sound extractor was to group sets of sounds in sub folders (packages?) Going through them seems to mostly be:

Weapons (Multiple Folders)
Base sounds
Event/New ? (Uprising and CTF voicelines)
Weird default beeps

That’s from McCree’s although Widowmaker has 18 folders and a lot of them don’t seem to be related to her? Some of these sound like some sort of jet engine and spraying sound and a bunch of single .bnk files. Anyway so is there any way for me to identify these types of folders or what the sounds might be? Something I have noticed is all non voice files seem to be a much higher number. All weapon sounds being 00000004....

Also before when I was testing with removing keys for testing. So I was trying to get it to extract sound files for each key to get a diff of when sounds were added however it appears that this does not work. I figured that all the new sound files for events/keys would be linked however it seemed to export everything up to Uprising even without the keys (note that the event specific items still said missing key). Is it possible they removed the keys from the sound files? Also note Ana, Sombra & Orisa still have all their sounds tied to their keys.

So NPCs and sound files don’t work very good at the moment. I understand it has something to do with how Overtool finds references to other files for a hero however in the case of NPCs which seem to be like shallow copies of heroes or making some reference to them that ends up extracting a lot of stuff not related to them. Most cases being Zenyatta as all the bots seem to reference him. The Shock-Tire NPC extracts over 900 sounds (Junkrat & Zenyatta) and it doesn’t even have any actual sounds itself (that it has found). I’m sure you’re aware of the issue, you probably can’t do anything about it I assume but I just figured I’d mention it.

Sorry if i’m annoying you with these questions.
