    Hi. Can anyone send me unpacked assets folder from newest stable Glad Giraffe?
    Assets_unpacker stucks in processes for me and it does nothing. I've created many mods for Pleased Giraffe and now I cannot update them or do anything in this situation. Can anyone help me out?

    Doing so would be illegal.

    You will need to resolve your issues with the asset unpacker, and/or get one of the unpacking tools.

    Great... Asset_upacker stucks in my processes 3 times... Upacking tools are using it so it is still stuck... or they do nothing. So fuck me and community, no new mods for long time it seems... And I've downloaded game again...

    Have you tried using both 32 bit and 64 bit versions, In Starbound & Starbound - Unstable?

    What are the commandline arguments you use to unpack?

    Kill those processes.

    Save this to a bat file and put it with the unpacker:
    Code:
    @echo off
    echo > Unpacking ..\assets\packed.pak into ..\assets\unpacked\
    echo > Hold on to your butts...
    start /wait /min .\asset_unpacker.exe ..\assets\packed.pak ..\assets\unpacked
    echo > Done.
    pause
    
    Let it run. If it seems to be taking a while, it probably is. Just let it do its thing.

    I was using:
    @Echo off
    echo Unpacking ..\assets\packed.pak into ..\assets\unpacked\
    echo This may take a long time.
    start /wait /min .\asset_unpacker.exe ..\assets\packed.pak ..\assets\unpacked
    echo Done.
    pause

    Trying 32 and 64 unpacker, trying few tools from net to do this also. Everytime asset_unpacker 32 or 64 stucks.

    And I am tried to wait for things to happen. But you see, I have beast not a normal computer, it should go fast. But there is no CPU or memory usage at all. Unpacker is stuck...

    BTW. Why sending someone unpacked files are illegal? They gave us tool to unpack this file in the first place, so there is a logic gap here

    No logic gap. We have permission to modify them. Copyrights prohibit transferring the game's assets unless Chucklefish says its allowed. As it stands right now, we are only allowed to upload modified assets needed for our mods.

    There should be much CPU or memory usage. It is simply unpacking the assets, which is neither process intensive nor is it being stored in memory. Its speed is basically based on how fast your hard drive can copy files, and on a standard 7200RPM drive, trying to copy and move 30,000-40,000 files can take a while.

    How long did you let it run before deeming it "stuck"?

    Problem solved it self. I left it for like an hour and 1 o 3 stuck processess closed it self and it started to unpack. I have unpacked files now. But 2 unpacker processess are still stuck. So there is something wrong with unpacker in new version. So this post can be closed/deleted now. Thx all for help

    Did you try killing the processes?

    Nothing is wrong with the unpacker.

    I tried. I've even downloaded software for it. "Access denied" or other things. Only reset helps.

    Copy the code that I posted a few posts up into a file called "Unpacker.bat".

    Paste the file into ..\Steam Games\SteamApps\common\Starbound\win64 (Or win32 if you have a 32bit OS)

    Double click it. and wait till it says it is done.

    That is all.

    Didn't start messing with shell scripts until
    :) I'm a linux user. It's kind of like being vegan in that it's a lifestyle choice the perceived benefits of which are likely a placebo effect, and its practitioners find it ethically imperative to remind everyone of their choice.

    At least you admit it. Most linux users ive encountered are smug and elitist.
