Yes now just unpack.Tools doesnt work import
Here some tips for newbies on game mod/translation:
First off all, you need find were are located the resources that you want to mod. For texts, use some "Find in files" text search and point to game root folder, search for some game text, but something simple like "NEW GAME". HEX Editor have this feature, even Notepad++ have this. For textures, you can use that same text search, searching for the resource Magic(e.g. DDS, search for "DDS " text), or try some file ripper focused on game resources, like the HyperRipper from Dragon UnPACKer or similar.
If that resources are packed inside some main package/big file, you'll need a tool/script to unpack those resources from your main package. For recents games, Zenhax is your best choice, but use the forum search before open a new topic asking for help. For older games, maybe you'll have more lucky on Xentax. There's a good chance that package allready cover by some quickbms script, so use the quickbms search:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm#search. And of course, Google it!
Note about quickbms reimport: There's NO guarantees that all script works for reimport, its depends of the file structure and how the script was coded. And reimport doesn't support checksums(not sure).
OK, you was able to extract those resource from main package, the next step is make sure that tool/script have import/repack/pack/compile feature, once you probably need do this for your mod/translation be readed by game. Once you extracted the resources try reimnport the untouched original resources back and check if the game works. If works, next step is mod just ONE resource, reimport and check ingame again.Be ware that reimport solution could not support moded files bigger than original, so try mod a file keeping your original size or smaller. With texts, use the original charset.
If reimport doesn't works,
STOP RIGHT THERE!!! There's a good chance that never will be a solution for this(reimport is too much more complex), and you will not waste your time(and the time of those trying helping you) with something that will be useless.
You can ask for help with this kind of incomplete solution, but do this on the same place you found the unpacker/extraction solution.
So ISKA, don't get me wrong, I'm trying to help you, it's the 3th time that I see you asking for help for a game that still not have repack solution. If you read the entire discution about this pkg files, you'll see that both aluigi and Ekey (two experts) worked on this format and still have no repack solution.
I appreciate your determination, but sometimes we need move on.
