[Help][PC] Overlord *.pvp/.prp/.vpk files reimport

[Hayal]

Hi there,

First of all, my goal is to repack these files with modified content.

Overlord uses quite a few proprietary fileformats, some of which the devs later re-used for their later games, such as Age of Wonders.

I had no luck peeking into these files using the modding tools included with Age of Wonders, they either crashed or identified the file as outdated. (Given the 10+ year difference between the games.)

Luckily, there are some Python Scripts available, for extraction purposes:

However, has anyone here had luck reimporting modified content into these package files?

For example, MinionVoiceData_ENGLISH also consists of multiple extra components such as .vpk and .debug-vpk, however they only seem to carry a few strings, when investigated further in a Hexeditor.
