Unpack iPad FTL pkg

Post by bgrimm »

Anyone familar with MacOS (IOS) version of pkgtool that is used to pack (package) the iPad version of the ftl.dat file?
I have tried unsuccessfully to unpack it with linux tools (xar, xarchiver).

Sorry, I have no experience with iPads.

Ugh. Modding the iPad version's gonna be a thing now isn't it.

Sanity check: Have you run the "file" command against it?

On Windows/Linux/OSX, "data.dat" and "resource.dat" are a custom format, which the mod manager can extract when you tell it where to find them.
