QPakTools

The other day, I needed to extract a few files from a Quake 1 pak, and remembered I had an extractor on an old Delphi CD, Tho funny things was does not work in Windows XP Some 200 error, cos of old pascal code. anyway I decided to write my own. after finding the format, I made 3 little projects for dealing with pak files.

anyway there 1 class 3 projects command line. so ya need to use the batch files.

MakePak allows you to build your own pak file from a list, there is an example

QExtract Extract everything from a pak to a folder, including sub folders
.
QList extracts a list of files inside a pak and outputs to a file. if ya need to make a pak agian.

Note this only supports the Quake Pak format. so compressed versions will not work.

anyway hope it may help.

Re: QPakTools

Yer main reason cos, XP has problems with some old DOS programs now. I also had the same problem with DukeNukem 3D, I also made a Group extract for that and Doom, but still working on them, I post them here soon as I finished them.

Re: QPakTools

Ah. Have you ever tried using the compatibility mode option to get things working?

Re: QPakTools

Hi, yes I tried the compatibility mode on many old DOS things I have and I never seemed to ever get it working, I find it as much use as a chocolate teapot. I am sure MS just stuck that on, so they could fill the dialog up a bit. smile
