Extracting Announcer Audio Files

Question

I want to extract the announcer audio files (I don't know if this is legal or not).

The closest solution I have found is a "(mini-Tutorial) How to listen to any sound file from LoL (incl. unreleased champions)" however it's a bit too old, that thread started on August 2009 when the game was in beta phase.

Is there an alternative way of doing this besides that post? I really want to listen to the legendary Penta kill sound.

Answer

I don't know if extracting the files is legal or not, it probably is ok as long as you don't distribute / sell them. Follow these steps at your own risk:

  1. Google and download fsbext.zip (I used http://ultrashare.net/hosting/dl/65f2fd1f3d). We will use this to unpack the fsb file that holds all of the sounds

  2. Extract fsbext.zip into a folder (for example C:\fsbext)

  3. Navigate to the sounds directory of League of Legends (mine is C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client_en_us\managedfiles\0.0.0.20\DATA\Sounds\FMOD, yours may differ)

  4. Copy VOBank_en_US.fsb from that directory to your fsbext directory (so that it is in the same folder as fsbext.exe)

  5. In the fsbext folder, run the following command in a terminal / command prompt (or create a .bat file in the fsbext folder, copy and paste the command into it and then run the .bat file)

    fsbext.exe -a VOBank_en_US.fsb

  6. You'll probably want the files whose names start with "female1_OnChampionPentaKill"
