  1. Put this Batch Script in FarCry install folder inside FCData folder (C:\Games\Far Cry\FCData):
  • Name this script RenameAndExtractScriptsPakFile.bat
@echo off && setlocal
copy /b /v /y Scripts.pak Scripts.zip
md Backups && copy /b /v /y Scripts.pak ".\Backups"
powershell Expand-Archive Scripts.zip -DestinationPath .
del /a /f /s /q ".\Scripts.zip"
start "" ".\SCRIPTS\Default\Entities\Weapons"
endlocal && exit /b && exit

  1. Make the changes you wish in any Scripts\*.lua files and then goto Step3 to pack it back to *.pak.

  2. Now use this script(same Path: FarCry install folder inside FCData folder (C:\Games\Far Cry\FCData)) to pack it back:

  • Name this script CompressAndRenameToScriptsPakFile.bat
@echo off && setlocal
powershell Compress-Archive ".\Scripts" -DestinationPath ".\Scripts.zip"

endlocal && exit /b && exit
