Game fpk

[Ahmad13]

Hey Guys ,

i was trying to edit .dds images in the fpk package in the game's main directory
but it looks impossible
does anybody know how to do that ? or maybe to tell the game to use an external .dds resource ?

thanks a lot

This was just asked here.

You can unpack them with Nexus (part of the SDK--under the Nexus tab, click Script Browser, then run "Extract PAK (*.fpk) files.") They'll show up in the Resource folder of your Civ5 installation.

Alternatively, you can use the third party tool, Dragon Unpacker.

thanks for the reply but i do know how to unpack the fpk
but what i want is to edit the .dds and then repack the fpk
or directy edit the .dds in the fpk.. u know modify the files

Use this after you unpack the FPK: DDS Unpacker

Edit the PNG files in Photoshop/GIMP/etc. I know for Photoshop, you'll need to also install a DDS plugin to resave them as DDS again. I'm pretty sure you have to do the same for GIMP.

There's no need to put it back in the FPK. It's trivial to make a mod, but if you have to be sloppy about it, I think you can just throw your file anywhere in the Assets folder. You may have to set LooseFilesOverridePAK = 1 in your config.ini.
