Decision to unpack and re-pack models archives new version PWI.
We offer you a way step by step, testing and working 100%:
All procedures done in the game/element directory itself.
1) open note pad and paste:
copy /B models.pck +models.pkx tempmodels.pck
save it as
merge.bat
(This step will merge 2 files pck + pkx into one new file tempmodels.pck)
2) open note pad again and paste:
spck.exe -pw -x "tempmodels.pck"
save it as
extract.bat
(This procedure unpack a new file to folder ''tempmodels.pck.files''. After unpack files to folder, delete tempmodels.pck.)
3) open note pad a third time and paste:
spck.exe -pw -c "tempmodels.pck.files" 9
save it as
compress.bat
(This procedure re-pack folder to a new final file ''tempmodels.pck''. Archive pck working correctly only with compression level 9 )
4) Rename old archive models.pck original game file to old_models.pck. Rename new files tempmodels.pck to models.pck.
5) run each batch file in order. it will take quite a while. just be patient and wait for it to shut off the command line from each .bat file (models.pck contain 104300 files and above), before you start a new one.
As a reminder:
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR MODELS.PCK
