Empire: Total War .PACK archives

[Rheini]

Support would be cool, here's the format:

Code: Select all

char magic[4];
uint uk;
uint uk2;
uint uk3;
uint numFiles;
uint uk5;

struct Entry
{
    uint size;
    string name;
} directory[numFiles]<optimize=false>;

Nice find, but are you sure that you cant find that unknown dwords ?:P did you tested if game works with unpacked archives ?:P if not then these values may be important for rebuilding archives

Maybe I can help and make unpacked if somebody will send me some archive examples

it is a very simple format,no encrypt,no pack,you can visit total war center to find the unpacker,i have found two version,one is written by delphi,the other is written by python
