how do i edit files and then restore them to the .bar? Hyped to see Iroquois again

24

Iā€™ve got the exact same issue. Whenever I repackage my .BAR file, it says that the .wav file headers are corrupted and only plays the sound files Iā€™ve modified. Not sure if this is an issue with decompressing or not.

25

for what is useful this?

26

Everyone who mentioned the problem with sound files - read the description. Program currently does not support operations with sounds from DE.

I think I downloaded the wrong .zip file, the other one has Resource Managager.exe in it. Thanks for the help!

Is it a manual update?

34

Its always a manual update (:

35

I figured. Just wanted to be sure.

36

I dont know this is related to topic or not
My problem with sounds is solved
thanks for the update 0.4.
but for now
Iā€™m looking for a tool for editing video files
AOE3DE using .bk2 encoders so we cant mod movies because there is no any .bk2 encoder/SDK.
Also rename .bik to bk2 not working too.
The game doesnā€™t recognize new videos.

37

Okay, I will look at .bk2 files

Thank you
I tried this version yesterday but the game didnā€™t recognize the video & skipped to next part
this is a free license but AOE3DE using Bink2 encoders which is not free & itā€™s only for studio & companies.

I can confirm, Iā€™ve been trying to do this for a while, but the tool doesnā€™t work.
