I don't recall at what point the ENU.pak with un-encrypted HTML was introduced, it might have been the initial beta and done as an error, and later patches don't include it.

If there is because the files quest_q1000.html, they are in my view encrypted AES-256. At the exit to get the file in UTF-16 and, accordingly, every second byte = 0. The sequence of these zeros is exactly repeats after 256 bytes. But almost every file in a different way.

Here is an example of decoding the file ab1_1251_dynteleporter_da.html from the Euro version of Aion

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>

What's the key ? How do you know ? or maybe about the header of the html file that already know the begin of the file.

hmmm, im not sure i understand exactly what you are saying, did you find some over way to decrypt the files, without having the decryption key? and would you be willing to share the files?

Could you please provide the source (or the URL to download it) of the decryption program? It would be very helpful. Thank you.

Hi I was wondering if anyone has figured anything new out about these .pak files. I have been trying to extract the font files but I am new to this and am having no luck. If anyone wants any files just let me know and I will upload them wherever you want. I have the newest US Aion client. Any information is appreciated. =]

็Hi. Have you tried the Python code to convert pak->zip. It should be in a previously posted thread. There are only 7 pages to search. :wink:

Did anyone ever figure out a way to decode the .html quest dialog?

I have everything extracted and decoded perfectly (thanks to the awesome people in this thread) except for that.

I was wondering if someone could possibly give me some information on why the pak2zip.py does not work on all the .pak files. I was told by one person that it does not work on .pak files containing language files. I don't really see why this would be a problem but I would appreciate an explanation about the limitations of it and perhaps a way to get the script working again, or an easy to use command line alternative.

For an example of one it does not work with, any of the .paks in \Aion\L10N\ folder (along with many others in the data folders) do not work.

I am using Aion 1.5.0.7, the latest release of the US retail.


Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yes it does, there was a newer version posted that fixed the bugs regarding those files.

Don't ask me about localization tools; if you don't have the resources to develop them yourself you don't need them.
