Sound modding in KCD

Getting started

To learn about modding of music, please refer to Sequence Music Engine in KCD

To help the community with creating mods that modify in-game sounds you will need FMOD projects and original sounds.

As the sound files are present in the "sound.pak" file within *.bank files the FMOD projects are not included in game data. You can download it directly from Warhorse Studios pages.

• FMOD project download (note: please download it only if you really need it in order not to generate big traffic)

• Download FMOD version 1.04.09 from https://www.fmod.com/
