    Anyone know how to unpack this PAK?
    I have tried a lot of unpackers like RAR, and even the unpacker for the PC version, but no juice.
    I think i have to mess up with Header of the pack. Any ideas?

    What exactly are you trying to do with it? Somebody once did this years ago to put the game on 1 CDR disc. I believe I uploaded it many years ago to TIZ if you google it you can find it. The previous versions were too big to fit on a single cdr.

    Not so sure I am allowed to post links to it here. But I uploaded that version 7 years ago.

    Here is the text I included in the description.

    I didn't actually make this release myself, so not sure where exactly I got it or who did it.

    I know of the existence of the 2 rip, the one in one cd with a lot of things downsampled, and of the 2 discs also with things downsampled or things removed (in this case i think i read something about the sfds).I want to do a rip with 2 90 min discs untouched.

    Ah ok, well sorry I can't be more help here. I believe if memory serves me correctly I got it from the defunct DCFan.ru site. Override did the release if I am not mistaken, and he is the guy who later became known as Phenom who did the failed In The Line Of Fire kickstarter.

    So if you could get in contact with Phenom I am sure he would be willing to speak about his methods.

    Did you try packscape? It's a utility to extract Quake-like PAK archives.

    if its the same or similar format to quake\half-life PAK files, then Wally might be useful.

    Talk with Indiket, from the DC.es site. He's the coder responsible for breaking the format for a Spanish translation. (The translation patcher can do a new 1-CD rip, I thought those tools were published...)
