The Misty Shores of Yonder

Tip

A tool for editing Wwise soundbanks, primarily developed for Elden Ring & Nightreign.

Now with documentation and guides!

What can you do?

Yonder provides a comfortable way to make low- and medium-level edits. This includes:

• playback sounds and change loop/transition markers
• transfer sound hierarchies between soundbanks
• create entirely new event structures
• add boss music tracks and boss phase transitions
• add area music tracks with custom decision trees
• add or remove sounds of existing events
• edit properties like volume, low/high pass, pitch, ...
• mass convert .wav files to .wem and vice versa
• playback of sound hierarchies, including layers
• and SO much more >.<

Despite my best efforts, it is by no means as feature rich and exhaustive as Wwise (and I don't think it will ever get there), but it makes a tedious and error prone task a lot more comfortable.

Building your own Tools

Yonder was originally written as a library providing classes and functions to make working with soundbanks more convenient.

To get started, I suggest you take a look at the code in convenience.py which will cover a lot of the functionality. The most central code parts can be found in the soundbank.py, node.py, and hirc_node.py units. I did not add proper documentation (yet), so if you need help, feel free to reach out.

A Word on AI

95% of Yonder was written by me by hand without the help of any AI tools. The remaining 5% are some of the more tedious widgets and some of the audio math that I lack understanding of. I don't expect others to do the same, but the least you can do is make a conscious decision on what to let AI do for you.

Future Work

If you have an earthshattering need for a particular feature in mind, it's best to create an issue here on Github. In case your burning desire doesn't go that far after all, feel free to contact me on the ?ServerName? discord @Managarm.

Hall of Fame

This app would not have been possible without the invaluable help and prior work by Vswarte, Shion and DaSaav. A huge shoutout also goes to Themyys, Raster, LittleBear, Shiki, and many others for their help and support while developing this.

Thanks! ~
