Modding THPS - How to pack/unpack PKR Files

Postby The real Assi » Sun Aug 09, 2009 12:19 am

Hi, im new to this Forum and firstly thanks for the Site, to have a corner for thps.

But theres something i want to know, im new to thps modding and dont know how
to handle the PKR files.
Correct me if im wrong, i think these are the files which contain graphics, models...

Searching at google for that make me grow grey hair. I can not find somethink. :cry:

Maybe you could make a section for modding at this froum, would be nice :roll:

Hi there. Did you mean the .pkr file (there's only one) from thps2? I remember was modding thps2 back in the old days and yes i have unpacker.

ALL.PKR file contains all models, skins (.bmp format) .waw sound files and various text messages for the game.
You can extract .bmp file, edit it with paint and put it back in the ALL.PKR file.

I had a video of this but it was removed... because my old Youtube account got suspended :/
Tell me if it worked.


By the way.. there was a section in this forum called "Other THPS games cheating" But probably the title was not quite accurate so I changed it and moved your topic.

Yes, cool man, it´s working.
Now i can try my luck and modify the grafics of the game thps2.
I hope i can make much better quality. I will reply on this forum while the work is in progress.

But theres another game i want to modify, "Matt Hoffmans pro BMX".
This game uses the game engine of thps but there is a difference. There are two .pkr files,
one called data.pkr and one media.pkr. The un-packer you linked works fine for thps2
but not for mhpb :wat:

Maybe do you have a answer to this?

Well, theres another intesting thing i found on internet.
It´s a directx modification to play eg. directx8 games with directx9.
I dont test it with thps right now but i tested it with some other games
and if the game engine support the mod it is very nice to play the old
games with new effects, shaders, lighting and more

I found no rule about posting links, please tell me if its not ok.
It is not a download link, just to the main page of the programmer
and oh, the main language is russian but the most is translatet in english (not the forum).

I think someone would be surpriced what this mod can do.
Im not a programmer or something else of this project but i figured out
how to use this mod, so you can ask me by pm me or over skype (the_real_assi)

Mod on !

Hmm can't really help you with other games other than Tony Hawk games. You can also try the other unpacker that I have but it's not very user-friendly and has no GUI. Maybe this one will work for Matt Hoffman's bmx. (look at the bottom of the post)

thps2 will crash if you use image of more than 16 bits (I think it's 16, but i'm not sure)
I've had other unpacker... but i can't find it anywhere on my pc :0
Also, it's ok to post links don't worry.

I dont know if anyone care about but i give up on this becouse of some reason.
The Mod i commend is absolututly incompatible to directx7 :(
and since i updated my system to 64bit i can´t use the tools to do something,
there is no tool to find for 64bit.

So, thats it!
