How to mod?

[Funso]

Hi guys. You seem to be the first guys talking about modding capaability, so I decided to join up. Nice site.

The graphics, the 3d models, the textures, are in the FPK files in the assets folder. I think you already know this.

We need first of all, then, an fpk opener. How are the files inside the fpk files encoded? Are the images tga's, or another file format we can easily open, or are they further compressed or encoded?

If we can get an fpk opener, then an fpk recompiler is easy to create, as we'll know the format of the fpk files.

I wonder if any Firaxis people visit the forums, and if they do, perhaps they can give us some feedback.

images are dds in the beta version there are no packed files, ill send an email of to either Jeff or Barry about sharing of the unpacked folders so everyone can play a bit, also of course about the unpacking of the FPK files

after having a google on it, it looks like fpk is a OSX native archive, yankee youd work on macs wouldnt you?

Hey can someone please send me a small .fpk archive so i can muck around with opening it? keith@piratesahoy.net

I tried a few FPK unpackers I found thru Google and they were so damn cryptic that I couldn't figure them out....most were DOS. Keith I'll shoot you an FPK file over the pond.
