free tool [Released] Sound Editor Version 2.2.0.0

[TheVisitorX]

Thank you for the kind words, guys! It’s great to see that so many of you still use and enjoy my tools. Could someone with access to Sound Factory send me a converted WEM file or a PCK file from the game? I don’t have access to 2K26 yet, but I’d like to take a closer look at how the files work this year.

Like the others said, your tool is amazing because it's easy and effective, hopefully you can update it for 2k26  Thanks

Thank you for providing me with a WEM file! It looks like they’ve switched from Vorbis to Opus, which ww2ogg can’t handle. That at least explains why the file can no longer be played in SE. That is way easier to fix. Since ww2ogg is open source, I will try to implement a way to handle both cases.

Importing will likely not work anymore either.

They most likely upgraded the Wwise version (Sound Factory probably uses the 2025 version as well). Also, the template currently used by SE is still based on Vorbis. I haven’t had a chance to look at the PCK files yet (still need one), but it unfortunately looks like quite a bit of work…

I don’t yet know exactly how many differences there will be between the Wwise versions this time. But one thing is certain: this won’t be fixed with just a small patch.

Entrance themes are in opus while most of other audio is in vorbis, like crowd, ring announcer, sfx etc and your sound editor is able to open and play them! It doesn't read only themes for a quick view i had. Unfortunately my upload connection is extremely slow so i won't be able to provide pck files, maybe some other people can help about that. On my pc i have wise installed, i think it's the 2025 version but don't remember, it's the same i had when using your sound editor for 2k23-4-5.

Thanks! If SE can at least read the PCK files, that’s already much better than I initially expected. So maybe I only need to update the templates and the Wwise version, and fix the playback issue with Opus files. Let’s see. Hopefully someone can share an existing PCK file.

Do you mean WWE2K26 Default or modded pck files? because I can only share the default stuff that it can read on sound edtior (I found the island dialogue)
