Decrypting Men Of War Arena Pak files

Post by lpnam9114 »

Hi, I am looking at this new game MOW arena and I need help decrypting this pak file? It matches no available pak files in Game Extractor. I am very new to reverse-engineering but it would be great if anyone point me in the right direction!

The rar file below has present 2 pak files, one in the beta phase and the other one in the release phase. Would love if anyone could look through and help!

Hi, thanks for your help! It works with the first file but not the second one. Unfortunately the first file is only a resource folder without the application but it explained something indeed! Is it possible you could look at the attached pak file and see if it's possible to unpack this? I know that it contains .ply files, .mtl files, .def files and something else but I am unable to unpack this. Hope anyone could chime in and help a friend out ;)

Quite indeed! Although I found out that the header of the files are the same as below. What do you think I should do with this information?

Code: Select all
