Unpacking the resources.dat file?

Postby spudcosmic » Mon Apr 14, 2014 3:07 am

Hey, I was wondering if there is an easy way to open up the resources.dat file to show all the game textures. Previously I was using superluminal, but with it not updated I want to know if there is any alternatives. Thanks!

Check out the mod tools post; the unpackers there still work for me :)

SMM can also be used to unpack the game's archives, and is easier than ftldat. The option is located under File > Extract dats.
