BNK Modding

Many of the steps from WSP/WAI modding are the same for BNK files. The main differences are:

• BNK files are usually inside .dat files.
  • Therefore you don't have to package the mods. Only the .dat files are needed.
  • The Music Mod Manager is not needed
  • To see your changes in game you have to repack the .dat file
• Editing of playlists is not supported (and genrally not needed)

You can find .bnk files inside [NierAutomata]\data\sound and across all sorts of .dat files. Some interesting BNK files:

• data002.cpk_unpacked\core\core.dat\core.bnk: All sorts of commonly used sound effects.
• data006.cpk\pl\plffff.dat\plffff.bnk: All sorts of player related sound.

Modding steps:

• Make sure you hav Wwise 2014 installed and F-SERVO configured as described here.
• open .dat (if the BNK is inside of one)
• open the .wem you want to edit
• "Select WAV"
• "Replace WEM"
• Save
• Right click the .dat and "Repack DAT"
