Can't get the .pak file unzipped.

Post by squidgamer »

Hi @all,

I've buy the game Sword and Fairy 7 and there is no german translation.
I do wanted to make my own.
I have to unpack the dat0-WindowsNoEditor.pak to get to the game.locres,
This doesn't work.
I tried UnrealPakSwitchv9 with all unpackers but I only get error messages.
I really do not know what to do next :(

Unpack error:
C:\Games\Sword and Fairy 7\Pal7\Content\Paks>v4\2\3\UnrealPak.exe "C:\Games\Sword and Fairy 7\Pal7\Content\Paks\dat0-WindowsNoEditor.pak" -list -cryptokeys="..\..\..\crypto.json" 1>lista.txt
Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.

C:\Games\Sword and Fairy 7\Pal7\Content\Paks>pause
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .

Check error:C:\Games\Sword and Fairy 7\Pal7\Content\Paks>python u4pak.py list "C:\Games\Sword and Fairy 7\Pal7\Content\Paks\dat0-WindowsNoEditor.pak"
python: can't open file 'C:\\Games\\Sword and Fairy 7\\Pal7\\Content\\Paks\\u4pak.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

C:\Games\Sword and Fairy 7\Pal7\Content\Paks>pause
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .

I have now managed to make a translation with Deepl, now it just needs to be converted to .Pak .Sig, maybe someone knows about this and will do it for me.
Then I can make the translation available for all.

Thanks already for your help

My .Sig File is always 0 kb

You cannot make compatible sig files, it's impossible if you are not devs themself.

You must either find/make mod loader for game (which means hooking exe) or find a way to disable sig check.
This is why those sig files exist - so you cannot run game with edited or new PAKs.

I have found my mistake.
I have to set a mount point, that's why the translation doesn't start.
