thanks for that

This doesn't seem to work for me. I'm running windows 2000. The error I get is:

The procedure entry point AttachConsole could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

I'm assume this program can only be run in xp? Is there any sort of xp emulator or something else to get this to run in windows 2000?

Same issue for me. I'm running Windows 2000 as well.

Interesting... I tried to open the art0.fpk in the /assets/ directory and it didn't want to! Can someone try the same and report the result, please?

You can't open a fpk, jut unpack it. If you want to brows the fpk try my fpk tool.

WHY did they pack art like this... in a game designed to be easily modifiable!?!?

[Gramphos]

It increases performance. Many small files don't have to be accessed ver and over again. Instead one large file can be kept open an different parts of it can be read as needed by the game.

Thanks, I managed to unpack it!

a win 2000 of the tool is here

damn I had to search long for this tool.

It didn't really help the forum-search won't let me search for "fpk" ofcourse.
