what system are you on? if i recall right symbolic links work on vista or higher, but the api is available on XP. do you have the "4/symbolic_links" directory present? Windows XP SP3...

I try to extract the bigfile.000 but it comes up with an error saying: unhandled exception, system.io.pathtoolongexception... the specified path... or both are too long. I do however have many files extracted, it stops more than half way through extraction. When you're extracting, do so in a path a...

Rick - thanks, that would be really useful, since as mentioned in some cases there is a .drm file with MANY files in it, and DRMEdit sort is by order, not by type, which means I have to go through a lot of files to find only textures for example. Would be super useful just to extract everything in o...

Ahhh... that makes it much clearer. Thanks for the explanation!

EDIT: Please disregard, I think I've figured it out - thanks! I have extracted .xml and .dat file from texture sds - apologies, I am not very familiar with hex editing. I am using HxD - is it possible someone could walk me through an example of how I know what to delete from the .dat file in order t...
