Hi,

I tried to modify a ufo0.pk3 file, to adjust some things in the campaign file. But when I launch the game, the launcher says "Could not find version string for script files" at the end, and don't launch the game. I just modify some variable, and just a little, so I don't think there's a code error. Someone can help?

have you extracted the file into base/ufos directory? or have you rrezipped your modified files back into the 0ufos.pk3?

make sure that the ufos/ directory is in the pk3 file, too. there should be a file ufos/version.ufo in the pk3 file

In fact you dont need to repack it. Just extract the whole ufo folder in your base dir and delete or rename the pk3. UFO:AI looks for a folder if theres a pk3 or a file inside missing.
