How to read media pk2 textdata?

04/28/2025 19:42 swag7#1
trying to read/extract (not edit) Media\server_dep\silkroad\textdata on a pserver. i have the right key, and have tried various extractors

some .txt files are readable without problems, but others such as characterdata and itemdata come out in hex or junk. example:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

anyone know how i can read these? using hxd on the hex file doen't yield anything helpful.
thanks

Try this pktool [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
incase the outputs are same then they are encrypted files by the server owner

those are encrypted files so you must have the decrypt key to open them ..
