 # HLM2-Wad-Extract #
 
-This application extracts asset data packaged with the newly released [Hotline Miami 2: Wrong
-Humber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Miami_2:_Wrong_Number) game. Although it was developed on Linux to run on
-Linux, it should work on other platforms without any modification.
+This tool extracts binary asset data (including the soundtrack in OGG format) packaged with [Hotline Miami 2: Wrong
+Humber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Miami_2:_Wrong_Number).
 
-## Motivation ##
+## Dependencies ##
 
-After purchasing and thoroughly enjoying this title, I thought that I would like to listen to the excellent soundtrack
-while coding. I was slightly disappointed when I discovered that the music data was not simply included in the install
-directory as it was in the preceding game.  Seeing as I had some free time, I decided to try to fish out the music OGG
-files myself out of the accompanying game WAD pack files. The file format turned out to be really simple and easy to
-understand, so I wrote a small Python utility to extract some or all of the game data.

 ## Usage ##
 
-This script makes it trivial to extract game data from the WAD files shipped with the game (currently
-`hlm2_data_desktop.wad` and `hlm2_patch_desktop.wad`). These files can be found in the game install directory; on Linux
-this is under `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Hotline Miami 2` (probably in a similar location on other platforms).
