repack files? or what?

[tehhaxxor23]

I've gathered all the files my mod needs to run on a clean rome 1.5.
however, those files require you to have ui_1.pak and patch_0.pak extracted and copied to your data folder (you know, the ui_1.pak.txt thing and so on) to replace certain elements.

now, what am I going to do about that? if I include the extracted paks my mod goes up to 230mb, and if I don't, the user has to extract the files himself... any plausible solution??

Create a new .pak file called mod_0.pak that includes your new files.

finally got it all.
i forgot to make the tga to dds again. always gets me.

I don't believe you actually have to make the tgas into dds files, it's just much smaller if you do. If you unpack the textures you'll notice that not all are dds files some are tga.

true, and for example the strategic map general HAD to be a .tga and not .dds file.
