OKay, that was an easy one.

This I got out of it (as just an example)
Image

Use the "Use custom BMS on..." option in MultiEx Commander to open *.DPK files.

Get this BMS script to run it and extract those that are Zlib compressed as uncompressed files:

Get this script to extract all files as saved in the DPK (if they are compressed they will not be decompressed):
http://www.xentax.com/downloads/tools/dpk_com.bms

:D

That's not going to work dude. You will have to overcome your laziness and math problems.

Captain is right, that's not going to work, buster. :evil:

For the DEFINITE answer I downloaded the Project Earth demo which has one HUGE *.DPK file, I downloaded the above mentioned scripts and they worked PERFECTLY on the new *.DPK file I got. 7092 files in that huge file.

Make sure you FIRST select the BMS , THEN select the *.DPK file from within MultiEx Commander's "Use custom BMS on..."-option.

The *.DPK format uses ZLib compression on most, but not all resources (for reasons unbeknownst to me, ZLib probably did not achieve enough compression on some files, or it was just a sloppy employee at work).

Anyway, it will have to be with MultiEx Commander, I will not create a new program just for you.

Buster = Bozo,

And, I advise you NOT to use mexbinder.exe, but to use Multiex Commander. Do exactly as I explained in the above.

So if it is simple (a format in fact easy!!!) make Please the utility for Packing in dpk! Please any more to whom to address!
And thanks for the Ex-tractor!

Even after Mr. Mouse helped you out (for free!), you demanded a custom tool written just for you. That's quite the opposite of polite.
