.dbl File Unpacker 0.98a addon - Dead Air mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

This was long overdue, thanks man now the modding can begin :D

how i can get .dbl after modding? or i need send this files after modding to gamedata?

Thank you for this tool (Спасибо) how do i pack files back in .dbl format ? I want to tweak some parameters in Dead Air mod.

P.S. I figured out that you don't need to pack them back, they work unpacked. just put them back into game folder and remove the original *.dbl file.

I changed some of the parameters in the game_relations.ltx However, after placing it in the correct folders, I get this error message and the game won't load:

Expression : <no expression>
Function : CInifile::r_section

Any remedy to this?

After unpacking the file, I changed some gun textures with others from Last Day mod. But when loading the game, the previous textures are still here (even though I replaced and deleted them) any ideas please ?

did you already have new unpacker?=)

Is it possible to unpack the files even tho they're .xdb0, .xdb1, etc... now ? (this is for the newest version, "0.98b"... I'd like to be able to unpack the config section so i can edit the game relations files :)

Hi i´ve downloaded it and tweaked around mostly in the configs.xdb0.
after unpacking and a little bit of modifying(mostly weapon price and other tweaks,more usage of medkit/price) every time i start the game CTD
this is whats written in the logg

sry i am new in this dbl packin/modding

where is the failure?
i have copied the modded/unpacked configs.xdb in the gamefolder,and everytime the same mistake???

Hello!

I only unpacked the configs.xdb0 file, I also copy and pasted it into the unpacker. The game will not run now, it will make it to the menu but not run. Do I need to remove the configs.xdb0 file from database in the game directory? And how does this work with other mods? Should I unpack it after all other desired mods are installed or before?

Hello, me again.

I want to make this to help others it seems are also having this problem. I think for most of us we know how and what we want to edit, however using this method is not usual for us as the files are already there to edit. Here is what I think would be some good questions to help us:

- Can we use this on a modded (addons added) version of the game?
(I have a tweak mod installed that already has all of the files it changed unpacked in my gamedata folder, such as some weapons, and medical items)

- Can it be used on the latest build, as the database files are a new format?

- When we unpack a file do we move the entire unpacked directory over or just the files we edit, for example: I unpack configs folder, that provides me with an entire gamedata folder, if I want to make a weapon last longer, say the Ak-74u, do I modify that weapon file and move the weapon file over only, or the entire gamedata folder?

Hello, I'm trying to repack the database files in 0.98b of Dead Air which uses .xdb# I really would like to know how to properly do it if you could please tell me.

I am trying to fix a problem with one of the levels, Thank you.

Can somebody please give me the default .ltx files for all weapons from (config/weapons)?

Whenever i unpack Dead Air i dont get those files

I haven't downloaded this yet but will it fix this error that i get when i try to get a companion?
