How to decompress xpk packed files

[chip]

First of all i must admit that i could be wrong about this question

Indeed i'm assuming that the files which contains the ID "xpkXXXX" are some kind of packed files ..... is that correct ?

If so the question is simple: how can i decompress these packed files ?

Searched a little on aminet but nothing that actually works

Use XFDDecrunch from http://aminet.net/package/util/pack/xfdmaster

Thanks for reply jotd, but i already tried it

It doesn't work

I see that "xpkUser" is already installed on my system

I will experimet a little with that ..... thanks for reply

I used the "XUp" command and i got the message "Data not compressed"

Some confusion now, since file has clearly the ID "xpkNUKE" inside

I zoned the file, it's called "NONBUTTARE"

Can someone confirm if it's compressed or not ?

Thanks anyone for help

Do you have the decompression slaves installed (libs:compressors)?
Did you read the documentation of the xpk_user archive?

[chip]

Yes, i have a folder called "compressors" under libs

It contains a lot of files called "xpkXXXX.library"

What am i doing wrong ?

Your file isn't XPK packed.
Real XPK packed files have "XPKF" followed by method name in their header.

It seems you have extracted part of some executable file, that maybe uses XPK internally.

Really thanks for reply meynaf

Is it by any chance a mod? I'm not sure how it works, but I can imagine that the individual samples used in a mod may be xpk packed, while the mod isn't.

[chip]

I'm sorry kolla, but i removed the file from the zone after meynaf reply

Impossible for me to find it again

Old thread, but i finally managed these kind of files

They are recognized by XFD Master library

So, in other words, the XFDScan command recognize these files as "XPK Packed" and XFDDecrunch easily decrunch those

In case anyone finds this thread looking for the answer, I think I found the solution. The xpk_usr package contains the "xpk" command which is able to unpack files packed with XPK.

xpk -e <file> = unpacks a file
xpk -er <dir> = unpacks files recursively
