Extract .pck files (Windows)
- A Tutorial for Sonic Colors: Ultimate.
Hello! Welcome to my first-ever tutorial on the site! I decided to make a tutorial about this in order to help people who are having trouble with it (like myself initially). Might make a video version that I will upload on YouTube.
Let's start off by copying the game files in a separate folder (not mandatory but highly recommended). I'd also recommend extracting the godotpcktool executable in the same folder. (See picture two)
STEP TWO:
Next, you will need to open a command window in the folder to use the tool. For this tutorial, I'll be using Powershell, but cmd should be fine too, as long as the command line is opened in the folder where you extracted the godotpcktool! The command to paste in PowerShell is the following one:
(This command is also available on the GitHub page) If you, like me, are using PowerShell, then you'll need to add ".\" before "godotpcktool" or else it won't work. Example:
for (filename).pck you need to write the name of the file you want to extract. Example: c-sonic0.pck as for (outputfoldername) you need to write the name of the folder where the game files will be extracted to.
Below there's an example command I used to extract the game data:
.\godotpcktool --pack c-sonic0.pck --action extract --output c-sonic0 (now the game data from c-sonic0.pck will be extracted to a folder named "c-sonic0") (picture 3)
if done correctly, the folder will now contain a new folder with the game files along with the other files (see pictures four and five)
CONCLUSION:
Now that you have extracted the game files, you're ready to mod the game! Hope my tutorial helped. Thanks for reading! :)
