Is the second parameter [1] a directory?

[1] D:\Works\Tools\hpk-v0.3.9-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\extracted

The hpk create command expects a filename as last parameter for the new archive.

USAGE:
    hpk create [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <dir> <file>

from hpk.

Yes, this is the folder where the archive was extracted

from hpk.

You have to use it like this: hpk create packed Language.hpk
where packed contains the content for the new archive.

Ooh, I'm a fool. Thanks for the help. But now the problem is that the game seems to see the file, but cannot read it and takes data from the original.

from hpk.

And I think I figured out what the problem is.
Does it depend on the order of the indexes?
Also the encoder is different.

from hpk.

So that I understand it correct, you copied the Russian.hpk into the games folder [1], the game loads fine but you don't see any effect?

[1] steamapps/common/Stranded Alien Dawn/Local/Russian.hpk

Do you see an effect when you keep the localization files extracted in Local/Russian/CurrentLanguage/..?

Or what happens when you replace the English.hpk with your Russian.hpk?

The different index shouldn't matter.

I didn't implement other encoders except zlib because Victor Vran and Surviving Mars would crash with lz4 compressed chunks. I don't know the difference between the lz4 library the games are using and the one I'm using.
The zlib compressed chunks worked for previous games.

You could try the --dont-compress-files parameter to pack the files uncompressed.

Usage hpk create --dont-compress-files <dir> <file>

yes, the game sees the file, but nothing happens when applying settings in the game

nothing

nothing, it just doesn't work

HURRAH!
I downloaded the latest version of the archiver and it all worked!
And packed without compression. Maybe this was the problem.
In any case, thanks!

Nice. 👍

Maybe I can find some time to look into zstd compression and get it working with the newer games.
