Extracting and Packing ARC Files

Due to the versatility of .arc files in this game, it is important to be able to edit them at will. There are two parts to this: extracting them and repacking them.

Tools Needed
The best tool for this is Lunaboy's RARC Tools, specifically ArcPack / ArcExtract. ARCTools is not recommended, and is only included for completeness.

Extracting .arc Files
Dragging an .arc file into ArcExtract.exe will cause the internal directories and files to be extracted into the same directory as the .arc file. If you want an .arc file to be extracted into its own folder, you can achieve this in two ways.

Manually:
 * 1) Create a new folder with the desired name
 * 2) Copy .arc file (and ArcExtract.exe) into that folder
 * 3) Extract using ArcExtract.exe as normal
 * 4) Delete the original .arc file (and ArcExtract.exe)

Using a .bat file: A .bat file can be used to automate the process of using ArcExtract.exe. This is helpful when dealing with large amount of .arc files.

The .bat file should have the text: mkdir "%~n1" copy %1 ".\%~n1" copy "ArcExtract.exe" ".\%~n1" cd ".\"%~n1"ArcExtract.exe "%~nx1" del ArcExtract.exe del "%~nx1"
