I looked through the whole topic, there is no source code or it was deleted. It is also not on his Github.

If you are referring to your version LAUTool_0.3, it only works on sound files. Original version of the tool worked on all file types.

@doomslayer: You've quoted post with LAUTool, which only supported audio files to begin with. And aside from decryption part, LAPTool is not compatible with current upk format as well (which is the same since OBT version), nor it was able to decrypt lpk/ipk files and such, so I'm not sure where that "all file types" comes from.

Perhaps I should quote this post instead. Looks like old LAUTool worked with all file types.

If Luigi interested, I can give snippet code. It's simple xor operation. *.LPK files encrypted with WinCrypt (See above my post)

Thank you for helping me solve the trouble about LOSTARK taiwan server last time
and the server in China of Lost Ark will start its internal test soon. can I provide you game files? and could you help me get the data key and database key just like you did for other servers of the lostark ?

Usually, in Prealpha or CBT, you can find files that are not intended for public access. Then the client will be polished. Therefore, I think many are trying to unpack the client at the test stage.

Here are updated versions of LAUTool (sounds only) for latest ru, jp, steam and tw clients. Credits to Ekey for the tool.

Update: Separate version for jp client added.
Update 2: Separate version for tw client added.

Hi, I am a new user here.
What are the prerequisites to using the LAUtool for Steam?
When I attempt to open the executable, a window briefly appears before automatically closing itself. Nothing else happens afterwards.

I'm also new here, hello everyone!

My goal was to try and read all the text/item descriptions/etc from the game. I managed to properly unpack the game - or at least to get all 3D model related files properly - but it seems like database files are still encrypted actually.

I just wanted to clarify - is it expected behavior or I'm doing it wrong and text files, eg json with item characteristics are expected to be available after unpacking?

Ok, fixed problem with WEM files. For convert to playable Ogg format you need two additional tools > ww2ogg and revorb:

How to

Decrypt

Code:

LAUTool -d 395891.wem 395891.wem.dec

Convert decrypted Wem file to raw Ogg

Code:

ww2ogg --pcb packed_codebooks_aoTuV_603.bin 395891.wem.dec

Fix raw Ogg to playable format

Code:

revorb 395891.wem.ogg 395891.ogg

I'm sorry but could someone kindly explain how you batch extract multiple files at once?
Maybe give an example command?

I tried putting ; , or between the file names but nothing works there.
I only manage to extract single files.

Update: Okay I've figured that out but I can only follow through with the .wem files.

When I decrypt the .bnk like this:

Code:

ww2ogg --pcb packed_codebooks_aoTuV_603.bin CCMKUNU12Y7R92L06GK6V5UFMG7U.bnk.dec

I get "Parse error: missing RIFF".

I try opening them with VGMStream I get:

Quote:

Could not convert file: failed opening CCMKUNU12Y7R92L06GK6V5UFMG7U.bnk.dec

Any suggestions?

Considering that keys rarely changes between beta and release versions of the same region, support for chinese version is added to lpk related scripts and LAUTool. Also, support for korean version is added to lpk scripts (thanks to downforce).

@Remaint: It's command line tool, you can run it without arguments via cmd for usage examples.

@jerlik: There are no plaintext or json files in the game, only customized databases and serialized xml.

@dahmerr: Check page 6 of the topic for more recent versions of the tool.

I've figured out why it didn't work.

I've gotten the file type wrong so it wouldn't open. I kept adding ".dec" but that was obsolete here..
I managed to extract them aswell now with bnkextr.

Thanks for the response and for creating these tools guys!

I'm sorry but how do I find what I'm looking for in these files? It's a total mess.
I'm going through the 400 english voice banks and everything is scattered all across.

Is there other tools that help with this, to name the files properly, or to indicate where is what?

Does anyone know how to unzip/decrypt an .ipk file? I'm doing some lost ark animations and would like to find the files that contain those sidereal animations that appear on the screen. (Wei, Niveveh, Balthor, etc). Anybody know?

@rookie1: If you've already decrypted them with LAUTool, you can simply use vgmstream or foobar with vgmstream plugin.

You will need 'bnkextr' it's a tool on github, I don't know if I can post the link here.
It's easy to use paste the exe where the .bnk are and the command looks like

Code:

bnkextr file.bnk

Make sure the files are decrypted. It should create a folder with all the individual files there.

If anyone can tell me how to find which files are where I would appreciate some input.. I'm still looking. I just want some of the player voice files.
I managed to extract everything but I can't go through 10k audio files so I'm sort of stuck still. It does not look like there's a system or that they are sorted in any way.. Clueless

@dahmerr
After unpacking the data.lpk files in LOSTARK\EFGame
open the data files
data\EFGame_Extra\ClientData\XmlData
There are some audio-related .loa files in here, but they seem to still be encrypted. I'm not sure how to handle them.
