2. Download the .rar archive and extract

You will find a Bat File (entpacken.bat) and a Python File (pak2zip.py) inside the archive.

3. Download the latest Phyton Script and overwrite the old one

4. Now install Python. After that, move (copy) your .pak file (this one which you want to extract) inside the folder with the 2 files (entpacken.bat and pak2zip.py)

5. Rename the .pak File in a.pak

6. Double click on entpacken.bat
Now the .pak file will be converted to a .rar file

7. extract this one and you will find your data :)


THIS WORKS ALSO WITH LANGUAGE FILES (.ENU for example)

Hmm.... Why not use the newer english version of RPGViewer (3.0 Build 1024)? It's not fully translated yeat, but it's almost.. It might be a little easier to use...

I have it uploaded here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]


Maybe it's possible to extract and translate the contents of the files from Korean to English and then pack it again. Google Translate (translate.google.com) is quite good at translating, there are grammar & translation errors but that can be fixed by hand afterwards.

For those that want music:
If NCsoft is doing the same with their ogg files in Aion as they did in Lineage 2 they can be decoded to play and convert normally with a hex editor. VIM hex editor is what I use normally.

The first four header bits (for the Lineage 2 ogg's) are L2SD. I'll assume it would be different for Aion; all you need to look at is those first 4 characters.

The standard header for .ogg files is OggS. Change the first 4 bits to OggS if its not.

The ogg file should now be readily playable in winamp. It can now also be converted into mp3.

I'll test with the Aion files some to check it out.

[UPDATE]
I installed the Chinese AION CB/OB client. After installing Deathain's suggested link for the RPGViewer, I was able to unpack all the music files from the game into their respective ogg formats. All of the file headers are intact and play perfectly in winamp. Voice and other sound effects should be the same as well.

Is it possible to replace the sting table directly in the .pak with this tool ?

Thank you
