The Movies .PAK-archives (Sample added)
It would be great to have a script / plugin that would let me peek inside the PAK-files in the game The Movies since they have very nice models and textures i wish to view and learn from.

Hi mate,
We can take a look at them if you can send us some archives.
Download one of our ArchiveCutter programs (mine is at http://www.watto.org/extract/download/cutter.zip ) and run it. Select one of the *.pak archives and click the OK button. You can then send us the zip file that the program creates.
Thanks

Hi again,
I have analysed the file you attached, and it should be easy enough to make a plugin for it. However, the archive has so many files in it that the Archive Cutter didn't grab the full directory for the archive. So, if you could, would you be able to run the Archive Cutter program again, and select the 2MB size please. The zip that will be created will probably be about 3MB in size so sorry about that, but its still much better than sending the entire archive
Thanks mate.

Hi again,
I was able to add support for this game in the latest Game Extractor. There is a new update (1.5504) available on the website for users of the Full Version. If you are using the Basic Version, you can download the plugin here (or just wait a few weeks for me to upload a new Basic Version).
1. Download the attachment
2. Unzip the file into your GameExtractor/plugins directory
3. Restart Game Extractor.
If it doesn't work, unzip it into your GameExtractor/ directory and try again.
If that still doesn't work, let me know. Good luck.

Mr Mouse: If you want to add support for this game - here are the specs - I will post them on the wiki when I have some more time.

Hi mate,
This plugin is actually now in the Basic Version download - so you won't need to use the attachment here - just download the latest Basic Version from the website and it will be all set up ready to go.
