EARC archive (FFXV PC)

Post by Robin » Wed Mar 07, 2018 11:57 pm

Hi,

I have made an archiver to extract and rebuild EARC archives. Compressed files don't have to be smaller.
Image

Edit: It works with the FULL version of the game.

Tested on playable demo version of the game, I have imported changed texts and fonts succesfully to the game.
First, you need to set the folder to extract files from EARC archives. After set, it saves this path to ini file.

If something is not working correctly, PM me.

PS. Sorry about app design, didn't have time to do it better.

Edit 2018-07-21:
Next version, allows to reinsert only one file in the EARC archive: [Link removed]

Edit 2018-12-30:
Next version, allows to extract all EARC archives from the selected folder, rebuild all EARC archives based on a list, and make a batch file to extract DDS from all found BTEX files: Hammerhead 1.5

I got an info that it's not working with EARC files of the full game. I'll be checking what SE changed in EARC format.

I wanted to change the fighting music of the game, but I have a question, knowing that we can not extract the EARC file, can still create an EARC file with the content of a music of his choice?

It is/will be possible for sure. I'm working on encrypting EARC files during rebuilding.

Next version, working with full version of the game: Hammerhead 1.5 [Edited, 2018-12-30]

Important note: Archives from Steam Workshop are not supported. EARC archives inside EARC archives are also not supported.

If something is not working, let me know.

Thank you so much for this update. :)

This is a great tool, I just hope there is a way to mass-extract the files, there are so many. o_o

there is a slight bug that if you could fix would be amazing.

Currently be it extracting or repacking it can only be done once on the same file. if you want to repack it again you have to close the software down and restart it as the repacker doesn't close or free the file after its done.

example: ive changed a file in fontandmessages.arc, but it didnt quite work so i want to edit the file again and repack it. but i can't i get a error saying its in use. so i have to close down the repacker open it again to repack the file.

Hey there, I've been watching this thread for sometime and am hoping someone can use the data from your efforts to make a fix for the HUD for us Surround/Eyefinity users. Here's hoping.
