This application extracts asset data packaged with the newly released [Hotline Miami 2: Wrong 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) game. Although it was developed on Linux to run on Humber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Miami_2:_Wrong_Number).
Linux, it should work on other platforms without any modification.
## Motivation ## ## Dependencies ##
After purchasing and thoroughly enjoying this title, I thought that I would like to listen to the excellent soundtrack * [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/)
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 ## ## Usage ##
This script makes it trivial to extract game data from the WAD files shipped with the game (currently This application extracts asset data from the WAD files that are 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 `hlm2_data_desktop.wad` and `hlm2_patch_desktop.wad`). These files can be found in the game install path; on Linux, this

While I expect this utility to be trivial for all to use, let me know if you encounter any difficulties or unexpected
behavior.
