Starbound .PAK files

Post by martanius »

Hello, anyone know how to extract .PAK files? The game is Starbound. I found some tools, but they were not for this game and could not extract it.

You must provide a sample file.

I already figured it out. I was able to extract it using Game Extractor.

Hmmm... Tools in folder win32\

Code: Select all

Usage: asset_unpacker.exe <assets pak path> <target output directory>

Example: win32\asset_unpacker.exe assets\packed.pak packed

Code: Select all

asset_packer.exe: Packs asset folder into a starbound .pak file

Command Line Usage: asset_packer.exe [-help] [-version] [-c <configFile>] [-s] [
-v] <assets folder path> <output filename>
  -help - Show help text
  -version      - Print version info
  -c <configFile>       - JSON file with ignore lists and ordering info
  -s    - Enable server mode
  -v    - Verbose, list each file added
  <assets folder path>  - Path to the assets to be packed
  <output filename>     - Output pak file
 
Example:  win32\asset_packer.exe packed assets\packed.pak
