Modifying .pk3 - "Could not find version string for script files" error

[Kmarade]

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?

extracted, modified and rezzipped in the .pk3

[Mattn]

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

my mistake, I named the directory inside the pk3 "0ufos"... thanks for your help!

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.
