Help re-packing A LOT of files using xpak

[Foot]

Okay I have to repack rather a lot of files into a new patch_1.pak. I'm using 1.5 so there is already a patch_1.pak which I have unpacked and will now repack with all the new files that I need to add. My only concern is that this new patch_1.pak will have about 1000 individual files that I need to reference in the text file and I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this. Do I need to reference each individual file by hand or is there an automatic way, a program perhaps, that looks at all the files in the directory and turns the information into a text file?

you have a very useful information.

It is not necessary to change patch_1.pak, only to make a mod_0.pak with the new files.
I've tested with some UI files and it works.

Another program that makes life of "packers" easier is DirLister. You get a txt file with the list of all the files (with full path) in a given folder. After that, just eliminate all the spaces at the end of the lines in Word Pad, and change the path (use the replace tool) with the correct format.
