Quick guide to unpack your starbound assets folder

So can you run the packer just by clicking on it? I tried and it just flashed up for a split second and closed.

 

And it didn't modify anything. I'm just trying to mod my own game.

 

Dunno if you guys knew this or not, but in regards to the paths, you can just use ../assets/packed.pak

The .. part just makes it go back a folder.

 

lol i'v not even run the game since it updated, ahh the frustration why the devs not do what Clockwork made for the unpacker

 

Tryd it, but dont know, it wont work...

How did i target a Folder?
My Path to repack it:

Code:

asset_packer.exe "....myfolders\Starbound\win32\assets" newpacked.pak

Wont work help pls

Put it in the win32 folder, also maybe delete packed.pak first, I'm not sure how the program treats overwriting stuff.

 

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gaming\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound>win32\asset
_unpacker.exe assets\packed.pak assets
Exception caught: IOException: remove error: Permission denied

So, how I do i fix this? Running W8.1 Pro

 

Not sure what im doing wrong but console opens for a split second then closes

 

This is the reason I did it manually. I have windows 8 granted, but that is close enough.

I modified my post due to I forgot the exe file in the first ""

but that is what I did after booting up the command prompt.

 

now i crash on startup.

 

Guys the Batch file from Clockwork is an example, u can edit the paths ... i packed it in a new file (like packed2.pak or something else ... but when i try to use this new packed file (renamed in my mod folder in packed.pak, my mod wont work - game starts without the mod

 

It was done manually. :l

 

How do you recompress it?

 

oh... hm... might be a thing with 8.1, as I have not upgraded to that yet. hmm... well does my command line thing work on it? Even though I have it going to a different directory. Windows 8 has quite a bit to get use to still yet. Came from xp, so was a large change for me.

 

CMD is the same, I have to do everything manually though if I want to keep the CMD open and not instantly close.

 

XP yup... crashing on start up no matter what I do. it's not any major modding either, i just changed the lantern stick brightness and the player interact radius and the matter manipulater radius and fire time... OTL

 

yeah I usually do it that way so I know what is going on too... I just know what I typed works on the regular windows 8, although takes a bit to finish.

 

Tiy say's he's making the unpacker "safer", there might be some problem with it.

Maybe try deleting packed.pak first before you use pack.bat

 

I've tried that twice. still crashing on start up. XP

 

Hey, whenever I load my game, it gives a infinite loading black screen. Is ti because my file isn't compressed to .pak, and if so how would I compress it?
