Hi,
i'm using Quick BMS for repack some files. Quick BMS doesn't support repack bigger file original.
Is there some way how repack bigger files than original ?
Or reduce files what i want repack ?
Sorry for my bad english.
THX

the auto function wont let you put back bigger files.
you can code your own script to repack any file but you have to know what you are doing in quickbms.
he has provided a few examples of how to do it.

Then can someone please rewrite the script for me so it could re-import files bigger than original?
Many thanks in advance.

Pretty sure the restriction that the filesize cannot be bigger than the original is program limitation, not a script limitation.

Well, I'm considering these words:

And if this is still not possible, then I will be greatful for the way that can provide me such functionality. Because I know it is possible. Some modders have repacked this game's archives and they didn't care about filesize, they have exceeded it when localized the game, but it works.

Examples of files: http://narod.ru/disk/59467538001.12b045 ... 1.res.html
http://narod.ru/disk/59467548001.f5aa85 ... 3.res.html

the words of chrrox mean only that if you want to use bigger files you must code a repacker from scratch, and in that case a bms script is not a good solution because it doesn't grant the flexibility and the complexity needed for a repacker/rebuilder.

in short if the script is valid for reinjection (files <= originals, no crc/hash checks performed by the game and so on) then you have the perfect solution for replacing the modified files with no effort of the programmer who wrote the script and you.

if you want or need to write a repacker then you need the maximum effort which includes not only the programming work but also the reversing of the additional fields that you can ignore in extraction/reinjection work.

that's why the reinjection mode of quickbms is so incredibly cool for you (users) and moreover for me and other scripters who need to do zero work for the reinjection :)

I understand this. But I still need to repack the archive with bigger files. The thing is that in 2001 Russian pirates have published this game here and they have localized it and overwrote these archives with bigger files with no problem. And Russian pirates are not some guru, they are just ordinary scripters. I just want to transfer their localization to patch 1.2 of this game (Cabela's 4x4 Off-Road Adventure 1), but I can't do it because of this problem. If you can help me, then please do it. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I really need this.

I no longer create stand-alone repackers, so I can't help.
