[Tool] Pack File Manager 1.12 (w/ integrated .loc editor)

[bigchump]

Ok, I just dl'd and installed something called "DBEditor_1-7" and unzipped it.
When I launch the app all it does is show the correct path and nothing else.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanx for any responses, I am new to ETW.

Hey all,

I've downloaded the Pack File Manager and EVERY time I make a modification such as:

Removing the Warpath Campaign screen for the vanilla ETW screen
Removing the Sega, Intro Movie & Intel I7 screens for quicker game play

My ETW crashes.

I open P.F.M up and make the necessary changes and then save the new file.

Can anyone please assist me regarding these issues?
BTW I have the 1.5 patch installed.

Thanks,
hellas1 +Reppy for those with REAL solutions for me!

@Hellas 1:
Is "DBEditor_1-7" also known as "Pack File Manager"?
If not then what is Pack File Manager and where do I get it?
Thanks

@hellas1: I didn't do this for my own, but i guess you have to make changes to a db-Table to change back to the old screens or removing starting screens. As PFM 1.12 don't have the ability anymore to do it, i guess you will need DBEditor 1.7 to do it. Just ereasing the screens himself will not run as the game will search for the files, not find them and CDT.

@bigchump: PFM and DBEditor are two different programms. To DL the PFM, just look at the first post of this thread. PFM is for manipulating pack, i.e. to add or remove files. The DBEditor is for altering, adding and removing Tables in a pack-file.

Thanks Bladerunner!
I have DBE figured out and used it to change a few little things.

How do i get this to work without the DBEDITOR jumping in and not letting me edit files.

I've tried that but it wont let me modify Patch2.pack which is the current patch pack file ETW reads in its current version. I also tried the 1.13 beta that Alpaca made but it doesnt work either.
I'd like to know how you got 1.11 to work with Patch2.pack.

I have a question on this.

Months ago i managed to alter the db files without any problems.

Reinstalled the game recently, steam updated it, now none of these editing tools work.

Pack file Manager 1.12 doesn't alter dp files as stated, but then the DBEditor is useless, all it does is opens the files but doesn't allow you to alter Anything.... whats the point in it? Pack File Manager 1.11 at least lets you alter things, just a shame the changes don't actually take effect!

Is there a way to successfully alter th db files? I want to increase the income of farms, i like games full of large armies!
