Unpacking Files Step-By-Step

[Elite Spartan]

Thank you so much Publius. I am on Vista and forgot that I need permission when moving files about. When I tried to extract before moving the ui_1.pak file, it wouldn't work, when I moved it to the folder that you said, it worked fine. Just what I was looking for.

Hey,it seems that i cant unpadk UI 1...it gets to "finished unpacking ui 0"...and then nothing...

[Squid]

What do you mean "then nothing"? What are you expecting that it isn't doing? The UI_1.pak will unpack to the same location as UI_0.pak.

Can someone fix the link in the 1st post?
I do not know which tool (in the RTW section) is this one.
I need to unpack my RTW to extract buildings UI icons.

Last time I'm using File Parcer as it makes repacking easier.

Just redownloaded it, works fine for me. If you have problems, I've uploaded it to mediafire.

Not sure if I'm allowed to reupload this to another mirror though. If I'm not, please tell.

[AnthoniusII]

I had an 400 "not found" error ...But now it works .
Thank you anyway Rarity ..Thank you very much.

Does this allow me to see the portraits for each culture?

Have just notice some pack files in Rome Total War - Anthology and I only bought it since I didn't have Rome Total War - Alexander. Anyway, below are they listed which can be found in the <path>\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\packs folder.

battle_open.pak
game_init.pak
models_building_textures.pak
models_unit_textures.pak
patch_0.pak
sprites_0.pak
sprites_1.pak
ui_0.pak
ui_1.pak

My question is... Does this 'Unpacking Files Step-By-Step' tutorial also applies to the pack files that exists in Rome Total War - Anthology?


The reason I ask is that I can start RomeTW or Barbarian Invasion without having the disc inserted in a media device, so it seems to me that CA have made the Steam version of Rome Total War - Gold Edition playable without running Steam.

Please note that I don't have RomeTW Steam version nor do I have any earlier Total War games for Steam either. I only have Steam version of Empire TW, Napoleon TW, Shogun 2 TW and Rome 2 TW.

I don't know if this is something global or if it's just my rig being quirky, but the images (after the first one) in the original post don't show up, which basically renders the tutorial useless since it relies on the images to show what "these files" are in several instances.

I am new to the forum, but yes I am having the same issue right now. It would be great if somone could either reupload images or make a txt based set of instructions

[G-Megas-Doux]

None of the JPG links are showing the images needed to understand the instruction. Can someone please tell me which files are referred to in steps seven and eight?
