Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[Masquerade]

For Life Is Strange Remastered, you can extract WWise Audio to use WemTool + separate JP voiceovers. You need QuickBMS:

BMS Script: https://bayfiles.com/L046w1Ffx9/unreal_bms

To extract:

quickbms_4gb_files -f "*.wem" unreal.bms pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor.pak tmp

Now make a copy of the tmp folder, call it tmp2 or whatever.
Then eliminate the wem files from the archive with the following commands:

 for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /b /s /a *.wem') do cd.>"%%i" 
quickbms -w -r unreal.bms pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor.pak tmp

Thanks to Dixen for the first command to null the wems.

This will reimport empty space where the wems originally were.

Then, run wemtool over the extracted wems to compress them.

Finally, during decompression, decode the wems with wemtool then reimport them with quickbms

quickbms -w -r unreal.bms pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor.pak tmp2
