Release of the PACK tool (for packing/unpacking/repacking M2TW PACK files)
Hereby I present the first release of the PACK modding tool, and new addition to the growing collection of modding tools created by the Europa Barbarorum team. This tool is the result of me converting johnwhile's research into the PACK file format into a usable little tool which has the following features (usage info):
The program is available as both a source and a binary distribution from our FTP server. Both distributions are packaged as 7zip archives. Programs such as 7-zip can be used to extract these contents. (You can get 7-zip from here: http://www.7-zip.org/ or commandline equivalent p7zip from here: http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ )Code:pack <command> [opts] -- [<PACK> [file...]] pack <command> [opts] [<PACK> [file...]] Where <PACK> is the PACK file to operate on and pack the pack program Commands: -a, --add : add files to PACK file. If <pack> does not exist it will be created. -c, --create : create a new PACK file, overwriting <pack> if it already exists. --no-clobber is not supported. -h, --help : display this help -l, --list : list files contained by a given PACK file -r, --remove : remove files from PACK file -x, --extract : extract files from an existing PACK file -v, --version : display version information Options: -n, --no-clobber : do not overwrite existing files. When extracting files from a PACK file this option guards against overwriting files in the target directory; when adding files to an existing PACK it prevents overwriting files already present in the PACK file. -i, --case-insensitive : [file...] is case insensitive, this option only applies to matching files located in the PACK file -g, --glob : [file...] may contain wildcards ('*' and '?'), this option only applies to matching files located in the PACK file. -d, --details : list details about the contents of a PACK file -t, --text : read file names from given text file(s), when creating a PACK file -0, --xargs : read NULL delimited file names from given file(s), when creating a PACK file
