STALKER Enhanced Edition Trilogy

resources\*.db* contain OGG vorbis audio.
However they have to be extracted and processed with OGGRE_enc and OGGRE_dec and make diff files because some of them will fail with oggre.

Edit: Nevermind there are ogv videos aswell, that's why oggre fails. Luckily they are located in some of the last game archives.
Extract only from the following files:

Call of Prypiat EE\resources\resources.db0
Call of Prypiat EE\resources\resources.db1
Call of Prypiat EE\resources\resources.db2
Clear Sky EE\resources\resources.db0
Clear Sky EE\resources\resources.db1
Clear Sky EE\resources\resources.db2
Clear Sky EE\resources\resources.db3
Clear Sky EE\resources\resources.db4
Shadow of Chornobyl EE\resources\resources.db0
Shadow of Chornobyl EE\resources\resources.db1
Shadow of Chornobyl EE\resources\resources.db3
Shadow of Chornobyl EE\resources\resources.db4
