    As everyone probable knows... the assets are not able to be accessed easily. I have searched everywhere & have found tutorials but they don't seem to be working. I really want to make my own mod, but with this problem... I can't acomplish anything.

    Thanks,

    Guillotine    ​

    What is your issue exactly? Are you having trouble figuring out how to use the unpacker?

    Is your steam in C drive?
    If so download this attachment extract and run.

    If not
    extract, and right click on extract.bat
    choose edit

    and replace the first value with location of unpacker.exe in starbound
    2nd where the packed.pak file is
    3rd value with where you want it packed
    save
    and double click it again

    It is extremely important you not add any enters or spaces. To this. Keep the exact same format, just change the directory locations accordingly

    When it says "Press a button to continue" it has finished unpacking

    Thank you everyone for the help but I figured out how to make the unpacker work. I am having another problem while trying to test my mod. When ever I start up Starbound, it gives me this error; "JsonParsingExeption: Error parsing json: unexpected character parsing word at 10:1"

    It will tell you the file name also - if you look hard enough
    Go to the 10th line first space - also check the 9th line if a comma is missing

    If you had to type it that isn't from your starbound.log
    Starbound.log is a text file.........
    [​IMG]

    It will also tell you the file name of the file in question.
    You are copying the text from the error window

    Open that file it will tell you exactly what is wrong.
    What ever the issue is its on the 10th or 9th line.

    The error will say what is missing or what is "expected"

    It will be in your starbound folder - not your mods folder

    Look if you have a starbound that can be opened by a notepad, and uncheck the "hide extensions for known file types".

    What a s*** picture, but yes, the file is named STARBOUND.LOG so, obviously, is it.

    Copy and paste what is inside of that here.
    No human could possibly read that.
