Problem with Unpacking

[kravi]

ok,

so with m2 I had no problem unpacking. I can't seem to get my head out of my posterior regarding kingdoms.

I'm using the unpacker tool of m2. I copy the unpacker directory into the mods/mymod dir.

Inside mymod is:
data/
packs/
preferences/
saves/
tools/unpacker/
EULA.txt
Readme.txt

Normal, right? So I go into tools/unpacker, and for example, I check out "list_contents.bat" which is this:
unpacker.exe --source=..\..\packs\*.pack --destination=pack_contents.txt --verbosity=1 --mode=1

Now, I run it and pack_contents are blank, despite ..\..\packs\*.pack pointing to a directory with data.pack and localized.pack.

Obviously, I can't unpack those either. Uhm. How am I supposed to get at the juicy bits for modding?

Umm...are you trying to unpack Kingdoms? If so, there are separate .bat files to unpack the files for each campaign.

I'm using the unpacker tool of m2. I copy the unpacker directory into the mods/mymod dir.

Dont do this, instead copy one of the .bat files for which mod you want and add a folder like this:

ORG unpacker.exe --source=..\..\mods\british_isles\packs\*.pack --destination=..\..\ --verbosity=1 --base_pack_path=mods/british_isles/data/

NEW unpacker.exe --source=..\..\mods\british_isles\packs\*.pack --destination=..\..\brit --verbosity=1 --base_pack_path=mods/british_isles/data/

Doing this will cause a brit folder in the root directory that has all your unpacked files in it.
