Error after reimporting modified files back into the original PAK

Post by Cboss1122 »

Hey Zenhax community

Recently I have been introduced to the quickbms tool to unpack and repack a PAK file from a UE4 game. Specifically, I have unpacked the Pak0 file from this game on steam called "3on3 Freestyle Rebound". After unpacking relatively seamlessly, I edited some values inside some of the LUA files and tried using the reimport tool to repack the modified files back into the PAK and try and launch the game. But when launching the game, I get this same error every single time (I'll attach an image with the error to this post). I've tried multiple things to try and fix this error, including Changing the drive the game was stored in from D drive to the C drive, changing the folder name to the name of the original PAK file before reimporting, and using UnrealPak to create a separate PAK file which I then named the same as the original (Did not expect this to work since the game uses encryption, but I thought I'd give it a try).


I'm very new to this type of stuff and don't really know much about coding so I was wondering if some of you guys could help me out, and please try and dumb it down for me in the replies since some of the coding vocabularies I see in these types of forums confuse me.

Thanks

It's not possible to use the script for reimporting the files in UE4 archives.
Take a look here for some possible packers and in case you need more help:
