Hi all,

Hope you all had a good Xmas.

I am looking for a Linux quake2 pak explorer type thing. Google doesn't
reveal much.

Anybody seen/got such a thing?

Thanks,

Nick

You can try to use PakExplorer with Wine.

If you are looking just for extractor/compressor then the original Qauke 2 tools from Id has it written in Java. Though it has a command line interface.

With best regards,

ID tools are scarce...

Anyway, I found a great bit of C code to do exactly what I wanted (attached)
from here:

gcc -O2 -o vp vp.c

Then

./vp -l <pakx.pak>

lists the files etc. etc.

Usage: ./vp [-l] pak-file [file ..]
