Hi,

Well, usually people put things in a packfile to make sure they don't have users fiddling around with their junk. However, there IS a Ruby script by aen which accomplishes this task: http://www.choosetheforce.com/blog/index.php?/categories/11-Tools
It'd expect you to: 1) have Ruby installed, 2) know how to run scripts from the command line.

Sorry i dont know how to do this. What do you think if i send you one file via email and you check if it is possible to extract the files?

I've installed ruby and now i can start it from the ms-command shell but when i'm trying to execute unpackr.rb i get a lot of error messages. I read something about rubygems. Which one exactly do i need because there are a lot of them in the WWW?
Thanks

Oh. I see. I guess "unpackr" is meant for .vrg files, which are verge2's version of packfiles. Uhhh. I guess there isn't a version that opens .vpk that's out there yet.

Can you pls help me finding a way? I can send you one *.vpk via email. They are only 4-5mb big. I need them because they contain the music.

I uploaded the file for you. Here is the link: http://www.24-inside.de/VPKFile.rar
I just found out that there is a tool called Cube Media Player which allows me to open the vpk-file. After that the tool scans the file for known Playstation 2 file formats. Somehow the tool was able to find the 24 Main Theme inside the file i uploaded for you. But the Playback is awfully. Its too fast a lot of noise, etc. but i could hear that it was the main theme of 24.
Here you can find a image of the programm with the loaded *.vpk file!

Alright, wait, what. 24: The Game is for PS2. It's not a verge game. It's a commercial console game. The two are unrelated, other than .vpk seems to be a compressed package of some sort.
Anywho, I'm pretty sure we can't help you in this case. I suggest you look elsewhere.

It's possible, but their vpk file is a completely different format from ours, so it'd be a matter of deciphering the format, which may be encrypted, and I can't imagine anyone here being too eager to do that.

And this is what happens if you google a file extension and leap in at the first instance without checking to see if your search result is even relevant. Daargh!
