Hello everyone! It's been a long time!
So I'm doing some Resi stuff again. Long story short I needed to extract every .arc from RE5. I used the ARCList to sort archives based on what they are and put them in a folder named accordingly (Weaps, props, stages etc.). The problem is, that's a lot of files to drag'n'drop to the batch files - I needed a way to unpack every .arc contained in one folder at once.
I reached to a friend of mine with whom I worked before, Frofoo. He made a little tool (In a record time!) that does just that: it can unpack/repack all .arc contained into a folder and multiple folders if you want by running one instance of ARCTool for each .arc. I needed that for RE5 but while he was at it, he also made it compatible with every game supported by ARCTool.
I think this tool should be very useful for people making mods for RE5/6 and want to add cutscene support. Now, you can easily unpack all cutscenes, then use the Windows Explorer Search feature to find all instances of Leon's textures and replace them with your modified .dds, then repack all of those in one go. Neat!
I made a short video tutorial, it's really easy to use. You need ARCTool, and you can run it either through PowerShell or a provided .bat. To note, it will convert .tex to .dds.
You can find the tool HERE (NexusMods).
The video tutorial is here, by yours truly:
Thanks again to Frofoo for making this little tool. If you find it useful, be sure to let him know!
