Extracting a FPK File?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know a way to extract a FPK file?

I am looking at some resources for a game I own as I want to try out some personal mod's, but I can't even unpack it. I know the data file contains graphics and sounds, but I can't find out how to extract it all.

There is a command prompt thing around the internet but when I tried to use it, it said the file (I was trying to extract) did not exist. But it does exist :s

Games like Sid Meier's Pirates and Railroads use FPK files.

If anyone can lend a hand, that would be great.

Thanks

Try making a backup of the file, renaming it to a zip file, then unzipping it.

That's all PK3 files were back in the day when Quake 3 was around, and it was just a clever extension to keep people from messing with the files until they released the news they were just renamed zip files.

The FPK file it's self is a JetForm FormFlow file format, which doesn't make sense considering it's used by Adobe. Not sure why those would be used in Pirates and Railroads.

Yeah, tried the zip trick but they really arne't zips. Tried RAR as well as that has done the trick with some. I think some once were even 7zips!

Tried Dragon unpacker and it said it said "File format not recognized!" :/ Although after a little messing, I did manage to extract the resources :) Funny though as I have the XCC Utilities which see's xwma's in the file, but the Dragon doesn't extract any.
