great tool

thx for release

[crassus 0]

Thanks very much for this.

Great, this should make my .pbo patching efforts a lot easier.

Not to mention modifying addon configs for better functionality.

Now I wonder if it can turn the coffee pot off when I leave and forget to turn it off..

yay, finally a tool where you can just double click the pbo file to uncompress it

Super Tool THX

[sanctuary 19]

I was waiting for such tool allowing manipulation of .pbo files, allowing extraction of single files from an archive like those winzip/winrar for so much time

Thank you a very lot for this great tool

Thanks a bunch

For unpbo it should be perfect, but i binned some files and tried to use the pbo packer, got error message it could "acesses" the p3d file?

[Matthijs 40]

Same here. Whenever I try to create or modify a PBO in any way, I get an "access denied" or "file access denied" error and WinPBO either hangs (error has occured, WinPBO needs to close etc.) or gets in some state where any click on the window produces a bell sound and does nothing.

I'm running WindowsXP Pro latest Service Pack and hotfixes and Trend Micro virusscanner. Shutting down the virus scanner and all services that belong to it does not seem to help. I checked the filesystem rights and I am working in the administrator account.

Edit:

My other machine runs with no problems. It's basically the same setup, only running on a faster system (2.4GHz instead of 600MHz) and more RAM (768MB instead of 384MB). It also has Norton Antivirus 2004 up and running.

Interesting, interesting...

I suggest it`s the SP2 form WinXP that`s causing this trouble.

OFP must be turned off, when modifyng (patching) a file.

I have a problem.

I tried to unpack and pack the Data3d.pbo file to add the new replacement pack (link), but in unpacking it stoped on Abrams and there appeard an error.

When I was packing a new error appeard - ": is not valid"

It really speed up things. But the same i will use many programs.

The machine that's giving me problems doesn't even have OFP installed... Let alone having it running.

Both machines have SP2 installed. (one works fine)

Dito, same here...

Is it a language prob?

Have you got "Read-only" active on some files? If you do this tool doesn't work correctly.

[Gothico 0]

Call me crazy. I downloaded the proggi again. Copy´d it into my OFP dir and now its working, after a first crash like in the post before...

[Messiah 2]

works excellently except for the packing of pbo's

i keep getting error reports and 'this program needs to close' as well as the ': is not a valid integer'

i've redownloaded it, re installed it, put it in its own root directory etc, nothing works

Hi

Very nice tool

Any new update soon??

[freda 0]

this is a great tool. I am using every single day. It does have one nasty 'undocumented feature', if you delete something from the list of entries, if you're unfortunate enough to have the unpacked pbo folder in the same path, winpbo deletes that entire folder! (separate to it just deleting one of it's own entries)

A nasty bug, but this is a fabulous tool.

[General Barron 0]

Okay, I absolutely LOVE this tool. By far the best PBO tool I've seen. I LOVE being able to browse the .pbo and open only what files I want. And I love being able to leave everything uncompressed as well. AND I love how fast it is.

BUT

I keep getting an error when I try to pack one of my addons. It starts working, then it tells me "cannot open file (a folder within my addon): access is denied".

When I look at the properties of the folder in windows, it says that it is "read only". However, it refuses to change when I click the little box. I have another addon which does not have any trouble being packed by WinPBO, yet it also says that it is "read only" when I look at its properties.

I can pack both addons fine with almalfi's pbo packer, but it is much slower since I can't turn off all the compression.

Is there anything I can do to get this working? Or else, will there be an update to this wonderful program? I love it so much, but its a shame I still have to use other programs for certain things...

Thanks again for the wonderful tool!

Does anyone know how to unpbo Inquisitor's new M1 Abrams addon? I wanted to unpbo it and make pbo it for my VBS1 game. I spent 130 dollars on their U.S. Army pack with abrams and bradley fighting vehicles but the v3.1 or Inquisitor's M1 is much more accurate and better looking. I tried using Pbox and Unpbo but they don't work. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
