pack/unpack MOD, PWC, HAK and other ERF-type files with my "swiss army knife" for the "encapsulated resource format".
it uses OEIShared.dll (included) for all file-operations, so please _do not_ unpack this tool to nwn2-install-folder, or the next patch will update that library. use any other (sub-)folder instead!
FEATURES:
- open mod/pwc/hak/erf files
- import files
- export files
- save mod/pwc/hak/erf files
- supports v1.1 (nwn2) and v1.0 (nwn1)
- can import watermaps to trn/trx files
- can strip server-side modules down
- drag&drop (thanks to grinningfool!)

Tani, thanks so much for your efforts with the tools and plugins you have created and maintained. The positive impact that utilities like these have on the modding community is immeasurable. Have fun with your life away from NWN2. _________________________ Barry The Hatchet Custom Content [ BTH Vault Submissions] [ BTH Gallery] [ BTH Blog]

no, sorry, i wouldn't take a matter like this lightly... i've not been playing nwn2 for almost two years now, and with two cute kids and a demanding job there's just no time left for further programming anyway. i always knew i'd eventually detach from this truely amazing community, so i tried to leave my work as finished as possible, and in case anyone would like to continue what i started i published my source codes as well. what i really like is that i can - for once - leave a place i called home for while without bitterness. _________________________ TerraCoppa, WaterMill, NWN2Packer Packistani, WorldGate, RRN-Docs, RePlug...

UPDATE as usual after a new patch i also updated these tools to reflect the latest OEIShared.DLL - other than that there's no changes to the tools themselfes. this time i also included the source codes, because this is my last update - i'm sailing on. thanks to all the folks here that encouraged my work! _________________________ TerraCoppa, WaterMill, NWN2Packer Packistani, WorldGate, RRN-Docs, RePlug...

Excellent. I would probably ask you to marry me, but I guess your kids wouldn't be too happy about that. Instead I will continue to admire you from far away (*fade creepy stalker music in*). Und irgendwann werde ich auch mal die Zeit finden Weltentor zu besuchen (So wie ich es im IRC vor einem Jahr versprochen habe...).

Funziona perfettamente. Per chi usa gli HAK ricordo che quando importa il file .erf in un nuovo modulo deve ricordarsi di impostare gli hak nelle proprietà del nuovo modulo. Un'alternativa è fare un mod identico a quello completo ma primo di tutto e di usarlo come base ogni volta che si importa il file erf. In questo modo non si perdono le impostazioni del progetto originale. TANI is the best.
