How to use

DataTool is a command line application which means you need to know how to use a command line.

0. Make sure Overwatch is installed.
1. Download the latest relase from our Discord
2. Extract the all the files to a folder, do not put it in your Overwatch Directory.
3. Open a command line in the folder where you extracted the files.
4. Run DataTool.exe via command line for a list of help and supported commands.

Most commands follow the structure DataTool.exe <overwatch_directory> <mode> [mode args]

Example List Commands

DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" list-heroes
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" list-unlocks
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" list-maps
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" list-achievements

Example Extract Commands

Some of the more common extract commands include:

• extract-unlocks - ex all hero unlocks such as skins, highlight intros, emotes, sprays, icons
• extract-general - handles extracting all all class unlocks such as all class sprays and icons and portraits
• extract-maps - extract maps
• extract-hero-voice-better - extracts all heroes voicelines and groups them by type (kinda)

In most cases when using extract commands, you must provide the name of what you want to extract or use * for everything.
See below for some examples.

Example Commands

Tracers Overwatch 1 Skin (You can enter the name of any skin):
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-unlocks "C:\Games\Extracts" "Tracer|skin=Overwatch 1"

All Heroes Overwatch 1 Skins:
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-unlocks "C:\Games\Extracts" "*|skin=Overwatch 1"

All Heroes Skins (will take long time):
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-unlocks "C:\Games\Extracts" "*|skin=*"

Everything - includes skins, emotes, highlight intros, etc. (will take very long time)
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-unlocks "C:\Games\Extracts" *

Extract Dorado map
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-maps "C:\Games\Extracts" "Dorado"

Extract All Maps (will take a long time)
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-maps "C:\Games\Extracts" *

Extract Tracers Voicelines
DataTool.exe "C:\Games\Overwatch" extract-hero-voice-better "C:\Games\Extracts" Tracer

Extract Unlocks filters

The extract unlocks command supports extracting a lot of data and you can filter to specifically what you want.
The command structure looks like: DataTool.exe <overwatch_directory> extract-unlocks <output_directory> [filters]
Filters follow the format {hero name}|{type}={item name}. You can specify * for the hero name or the type for everything.
Valid types include: skin, icon, spray, victorypose, emote, voiceline

Example Filters

"*"                                   // Everything (all heroes skins, sprays, etc) (very slow)
"*|skin=*"                            // All Heroes Skins
"Tracer|skin=Overwatch 1"             // Tracers Overwatch 1 skin
"Reaper|spray=*"                      // Reaper's sprays
"Reaper|voiceline=*"                  // Reapers unlockable voicelines
