xpak Tutorial

[PiperWilliam]

Hope I don't sound like a complete newb, but I can't figure out how to make Vercingetorix's xpak tool work. Will some kind person write a quick tutorial for me, and others like me, that could be pinned here or something?

Thanks very much guys.
PS. If you do it, could you make it as Idiot Friendly as possible!?

There is read me files in xpack.Simply extract files to relevent directory and run it

[PiperWilliam]

No, the readme doesn't help me. It's not Idiot Friendly enough!

1) Download xpak.zip
2) Open xpak.zip with winzip
3) Open explorer
4) Goto the harddrive you installed RTW to (c:\ or d:\)
5) Goto Program Files
6) Goto Activision
7) Goto Rome - Total War
8) Goto data
9) Goto packs
10) Select from the winzip window: xpax.exe and xpak.bat
11) Drag those files to the Rome -Total War\data\packs folder you have open in explorer
12) Double click xpak.bat
13) Wait for it do it's stuff
14) Done.

Doesn't get any idiot friendlier

Ok, thanks, that's got me a hell of a lot further than I did before..... but ( ) where does it put the files once it's finished doing it's stuff?

again.

In data\packs. Are you looking for certain files?
