Nikke Lobby BGM Change

Identifying the BGM File Location

Accessing and modifying the lobby background music (BGM) in Nikke requires locating the specific audio file associated with the in-game lobby. This can be done by following these detailed steps:

Locate the Nikke Game Files:
- Navigate to the directory where Nikke is installed on your device. This typically defaults to:
  - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\NIKKE The Goddess of Victory (on Windows)
  - /Applications/Steam.app/Contents/MacOS/SteamApps/common/NIKKE The Goddess of Victory (on macOS)
Identify the Audio Files Folder:
- Within the Nikke game directory, search for the folder named "Audio". This folder contains all the game’s audio assets, including the lobby BGM file.
Locate the Specific BGM File:
- Inside the "Audio" folder, you will find numerous subfolders organized by game features and elements. To identify the lobby BGM file, follow this path:
  - Audio → BGM → Lobby
Identify the File Extension:
- The lobby BGM file will typically have the file extension ".ogg" or ".wav". Look for a file named "lobby_bgm.ogg" or similar.

Extracting the Game’s Asset Files

To modify the lobby BGM in Nikke, you’ll need to extract the game’s asset files. This can be done using a variety of tools, such as Asset Studio or Ninja Ripper.

1. Download and install the necessary tools. You can find Asset Studio here and Ninja Ripper here.
2. Open the game’s directory. This is typically located at “C:\Program Files\Nikke.”
3. Locate the game’s asset files. These are typically located in the “Assets” folder.
4. Extract the asset files. You can do this by dragging and dropping the “Assets” folder into Asset Studio or Ninja Ripper.

The extracted asset files will be in a variety of formats, including .unity3d, .png, and .ogg. The lobby BGM is stored in an .ogg file, so you’ll need to locate and extract that file.

File Format	Description
.unity3d	Contains the game’s scenes, models, and other assets.
.png	Contains the game’s textures.
.ogg	Contains the game’s audio files.

Locating the BGM Files

The BGM files for Nikke are stored in the following directory:

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NIKKE\NIKKE\Content\Music

Mac: /Applications/NIKKE.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Music

The BGM files are in the “.ogg” format. You can use any audio player that supports this format to listen to the files.

Finding the Specific Lobby BGM File

The lobby BGM file is named “lobby.ogg”. You can find this file in the following directory:

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NIKKE\NIKKE\Content\Music\Lobby

Mac: /Applications/NIKKE.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Music/Lobby

Once you have located the lobby BGM file, you can replace it with any other “.ogg” file that you want to use as the new lobby BGM.

Customizing the Lobby BGM

You can customize the lobby BGM by replacing the “lobby.ogg” file with any other “.ogg” file that you want. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a new BGM file:

The file must be in the “.ogg” format.

The file must be under 10 MB in size.

The file must not contain any copyrighted material.

If you meet these requirements, you can use any audio file that you want as your new lobby BGM.

Copy or move your chosen BGM file into the “Music” subfolder, overwriting the existing “LobbyBGM.wav” file.

Move the newly created PAK file back to the original Paks folder in the Nikke game directory. Replace the existing “pakchunk1-WindowsNoEditor.pak” file.

10. Restart Nikke

Restart the Nikke game. Your new lobby BGM should now be active.

Testing the Changed BGM

To verify if the BGM has been successfully changed, follow these steps:

Restart the game to ensure the changes take effect.
Enter the lobby screen and wait for the BGM to start playing.
Pay attention to the music and compare it with the track you selected.
If the music matches the chosen BGM, then the change was successful.

If the issue persists, check the in-game settings or contact the game’s support team for assistance.
