[Utility] FPK tool (alpha-release)

[Gramphos]

Here is an alpha version of a unitility for browsing and extracting files from PAKs. This is v0.0.2 of this utility. Changes since v0.0.1 are
* addition of progress bar
* Extract directory selected with browser instead of save file dialog.

Note: The reason for this release is that this tool is compatible with Win2k, whereas the official tool is not. The official tool has more features and is recommended if you have WinXP.

If you need vb runtime a full install is available here.

hello

I've downloaded your program then it opens a window but what should i do then ... I m a little confused

[Gramphos]

When the program start you will be asked to load an fpk file. Brows to CIVRoot\Assets and select Art0.fpk. The program will then load the file tree from the PAK, and you can extract files or entire directory structures from it. I plan to add more functionality.

No error message anymore, but crash to desktop at "Init Engine". And no clue why. Everything should be in the correct folders.

Try crearing the cache, and reply in that thread. This thread is for this utility. Try to keep game errors out of it.

Completely agree, I have been gaming for years and I have never had such a hard time getting a game to run. Did they test this game at all before releasing it?

you should probably reinstall the game. It sounds as if your fpk file has been corrupted during the installation.

Hi all,

I had the same problems than every ATI user. I used the fpk tool and now I get through the "loading" screen but the game keep crashing. The black screen turns back to 800*600 desktop, then black screen again, and it crashes.
I guess the game cant play the introduction movie. Is there a way to skip it?
